Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual reality images are displayed without integrating actual position and device recognition, then the system complexity is reduced, but the immersion and contextual accuracy of the virtual reality experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: sensor units for position and gesture detection, communication units for data transmission, processors for data analysis and scenario selection, and display units for virtual reality output. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall system adaptability while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensor units serve multiple functions by detecting both position information and gesture information using the same hardware infrastructure. The processor similarly handles multiple tasks including analyzing position data, analyzing gesture data, and selecting virtual scenarios based on combined inputs, reducing the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
2Measurement precision
If sensor units detect both position and gesture information, then the measurement precision and contextual accuracy improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines position detection and gesture detection functions into integrated sensor units that operate simultaneously. The processor merges the analysis of position data and gesture data into a unified decision-making process for selecting virtual scenarios, achieving high measurement precision through combined sensing while managing complexity through integrated processing architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication unit acts as an intermediary that transmits both position information and gesture information to the server, which then selects appropriate virtual scenarios. This intermediary approach allows the sensor units to focus on precise detection without bearing the full complexity of data interpretation, while the server handles the complex scenario selection based on combined inputs.
3Loss of information
If the system transmits sensing data to a server for scenario selection, then the virtual reality scenario relevance improves, but the response time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes sensing data locally using the processor before transmission, analyzing position and gesture information in advance to prepare optimized data packets. This preliminary action reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and processed by the server, thereby reducing overall response time while maintaining scenario relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensor units and communication system operate in periodic cycles, collecting sensor data over a defined period, transmitting consolidated batches of position and gesture information to the server, and receiving scenario selections in regular intervals. This periodic operation reduces continuous data transmission overhead and energy consumption while maintaining timely virtual reality experience updates.
