Solution Overview

Problem

Existing helmet-mounted heads-up displays require cumbersome digital camera devices or imaging means to represent real-time troop and equipment positions, leading to delays in medical attention and increased risk due to inefficient data processing and security concerns in military and civilian operations.

Innovation Solution

An intelligent full-face visor with a projector, microprocessor, and quantum technology-enabled encryption for secure data transmission, which projects two-dimensional moving icons or symbols representing personnel and equipment positions without the need for a digital camera, enabling real-time visualization and secure communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If digital camera devices or imaging means are used to represent real-time troop and equipment positions, then real-time visualization is achieved, but the weight and complexity of the helmet increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time position informationVSAvoidhelmet system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the imaging function from the helmet system by using external cameras positioned on tripods or other supports to capture troop and equipment positions. The visual information is then transmitted to a central computer that processes and displays it on the helmet visor, removing the need for complex imaging devices to be integrated into the helmet itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a central computer as an intermediary between the external cameras and the helmet display system. This central computer receives video signals from multiple cameras, processes the position information, and transmits the processed data to the helmet visor, simplifying the helmet's own system while maintaining real-time visualization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If digital camera devices or imaging means are used to represent real-time troop and equipment positions, then real-time visualization is achieved, but the processing time delays medical attention

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time position informationVSAvoidmedical response time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by having the central computer continuously process and update troop position information before medical incidents occur. The system maintains real-time awareness of all personnel locations, so when a medical incident happens, the nearest medic or medical resource can be immediately identified and dispatched, reducing response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback loop where the central computer continuously receives position data from cameras, processes it, and updates the display on helmet visors in real-time. This continuous feedback mechanism ensures that medical personnel can immediately see changes in troop positions and respond quickly to incidents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If conventional data transmission methods are used, then communication is established, but cyber security vulnerabilities exist

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission securityVSAvoidcyber security reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by implementing quantum technology-enabled encryption to transform the security parameters of data transmission. This encryption method changes the fundamental security parameters from conventional to quantum-based, providing enhanced protection against cyber threats while maintaining data transmission functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
