Helmet Visor Real-Time Position Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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
Engineering 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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
3Loss of information
If conventional data transmission methods are used, then communication is established, but cyber security vulnerabilities exist
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.
Data Source
AI summary
A visor for a military, combat or specialist services helmet with a heads up display function wherein positions of all wearers during operations can be visualized in real time. The invention is directed to live streaming of troop and specialist service personnel positions which are digitized and represented as two dimensional moving icons projected on the heads up display. Its objective is particularly directed to the purposes of rapid location and efficient search and rescue of injured and/or isolated soldiers or personnel.
