Solution Overview

Problem

Existing virtual collaborative domains lack efficient methods for analyzing and optimizing the allocation of virtual spaces for content placement, leading to suboptimal engagement of users with virtual content in augmented reality environments.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for bidding on virtual spaces, which involves analyzing virtual collaborative domains to assign potentiality scores, conducting virtual auctions, and infusing a second virtual domain with the winning bidder's content, allowing seamless content display across multiple domains.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If virtual spaces are allocated without systematic analysis, then the allocation process is simple and quick, but the engagement of users with virtual content is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagement with virtual contentVSAvoidcomplexity of virtual space allocation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of virtual collaborative domains before content placement, calculating potentiality scores that predict user engagement. This advance preparation ensures high-quality content allocation without complexity during the actual placement operation, as the scoring framework is established beforehand

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary potentiality scoring system that mediates between the simple act of content placement and the complex goal of optimizing user engagement. This intermediary layer translates domain characteristics into actionable scoring metrics that guide content allocation decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If virtual auctions are conducted without potentiality scoring, then the auction process is simpler and faster, but the allocation of virtual spaces is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of virtual space evaluationVSAvoidtime for auction preparation and execution
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Potentiality scores are calculated in advance before auctions begin, providing precise evaluation metrics that guide bidding decisions. This preliminary scoring eliminates the need for complex real-time analysis during auctions, maintaining speed while improving allocation precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms complex domain characteristics into a simplified potentiality score parameter that can be quickly compared and used in auction proceedings. This parameter transformation maintains measurement precision while reducing the time required for evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If virtual content is placed without analyzing domain characteristics, then the content placement process is quicker, but the content is not displayed in high-traffic user-focused areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of content placementVSAvoidinformation about optimal content placement locations
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of domain characteristics and calculates potentiality scores that identify optimal content placement locations. This advance analysis ensures that content is placed in high-traffic areas without adding complexity to the actual placement execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The potentiality scoring system provides feedback about domain characteristics and optimal placement locations, guiding content allocation decisions. This feedback mechanism ensures that placement efficiency is maintained while capturing crucial information about where content will be most effective

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
