Personal Virtual Space Breach Detection via Centralized Management Processor
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing personal virtual spaces often lead to inconsistencies in distance measurement between devices, resulting in some devices indicating a breach while others do not, due to independent distance calculation.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising user-end and neighboring electronic devices with processors, memory elements, and communication channels, where a management processor calculates and confirms distance breaches, activating physical notification devices such as lights or sounds when thresholds are met, and includes a database for storing distances and a gaming processor for managing roles like 'friend' or 'foe' to determine breach alerts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If each apparatus measures distance independently using RFID and calculates distance via TOF or RSSI, then the system can detect personal virtual space breaches, but inconsistencies arise where one device indicates a breach while others do not
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management processor as an intermediary that receives distance measurements from multiple neighboring devices and performs centralized confirmation. The management processor aggregates distance data from all devices, applies the threshold criterion collectively, and determines breach status centrally, ensuring all devices receive consistent breach notifications regardless of individual device calculations.
2Reliability
If a management processor is introduced to confirm distance breaches centrally, then breach detection consistency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management processor performs multiple functions: receiving distance measurements from multiple devices, storing threshold values, performing centralized breach determination, and notifying all devices of breach status. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate components in each device, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability.
