Solution Overview

Problem

Current display systems for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) lack efficient methods for generating and editing virtual reality spaces in real-time, leading to delays and user inconvenience when displaying and updating virtual environments.

Innovation Solution

A display system comprising a storage apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a display apparatus that combines basic data and object data to generate display data for VR spaces, allowing for real-time editing and stepwise data transmission to enable seamless and interactive VR space display and storage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the image forming apparatus generates and transmits complete display data for the entire virtual reality space at once, then the display apparatus can render the complete space, but the transmission time and waiting period for users increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaiting time for VR space displayVSAvoiddata generation and transmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the virtual reality space into multiple regions (first region and second region) and generates display data for each region separately. The image forming apparatus transmits display data for the first region initially, then transmits display data for the second region subsequently. This segmentation allows the display apparatus to render portions of the VR space progressively, significantly reducing the total waiting time compared to generating and transmitting complete display data for the entire space at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the system allows real-time editing of the virtual reality space, then user interactivity and convenience improve, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time editing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity for editing processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent stores edited display data in the storage apparatus after it is generated through real-time editing operations. When a user needs to view a previously edited virtual reality space, the system retrieves the pre-stored edited display data from the storage apparatus, avoiding the need to reprocess the entire editing sequence. This preliminary storage of edited data simplifies subsequent access and viewing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The display apparatus transmits editing content information back to the image forming apparatus when users perform edits on the virtual reality space. The image forming apparatus receives this feedback, generates updated display data reflecting the edits, and transmits it back to the display apparatus. This feedback mechanism enables real-time editing while managing system complexity through structured data flow and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of time

If the image forming apparatus performs complete combination process to generate all display data before transmission, then the display data is complete and ready, but the transmission time increases and user waiting period extends

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission timeVSAvoiddata generation process efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the virtual reality space into multiple regions and performs the combination process to generate display data for each region separately and in sequence. The image forming apparatus first generates display data for the first region, transmits it to the display apparatus, then generates and transmits display data for the second region. This segmented approach reduces the total transmission time compared to generating and transmitting complete display data for the entire virtual reality space at once, while maintaining the completeness of each region's display data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A display system includes a storage apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a display apparatus. The display apparatus accepts editing of a virtual reality space, and the image forming apparatus generates edited display data for displaying a virtual reality space reflecting editing content, and correlates the edited display data with data identification information to cause the storage apparatus to store the edited display data. When the data identification information is inputted, the image forming apparatus acquires edited display data corresponding to the data identification information and transmits the edited display data to the display apparatus, thereby causing the display apparatus to display a virtual reality space based on the edited display data.
