Solution Overview
Problem
Current virtual reality systems require users to perform tedious and complicated operations to switch between virtual reality and traditional modes, especially when using devices like mobile phones with virtual reality glasses boxes, which hampers user experience and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize proximity sensors to establish a connection between a video playing device and virtual reality glasses box, automatically controlling the device's mode based on the wearing state, allowing seamless transitions between virtual reality and traditional modes without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users manually switch between virtual reality mode and traditional mode by frequent operations, then the device can adapt to different usage scenarios, but the operation becomes tedious and complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses proximity sensors to automatically detect whether the video playing device is placed in the virtual reality glasses box and autonomously switches between virtual reality mode and traditional mode without requiring user intervention. The device serves itself by monitoring its own state and making mode transitions automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the physical state of the video playing device through proximity sensors and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the working mode. When the device detects being placed in the glasses box, it switches to virtual reality mode; when removed, it switches back to traditional mode, creating a closed-loop control system
2Ease of operation
If the video playing device continuously plays video content, then user experience is maintained, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts video playback based on the detected wearing state. When the virtual reality glasses box is detected as worn, the system pauses or stops video playback to conserve power. When the glasses box is removed, playback resumes automatically. This dynamic adjustment optimizes the balance between user experience continuity and power consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The proximity sensor continuously monitors the wearing state and provides feedback to the playback control system. Based on this feedback, the system automatically pauses or resumes video playback, ensuring power is conserved when the device is not in use while maintaining seamless playback when needed
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution simplifies user operations by automatically switching modes based on the device's position and usage state, enhancing usability and ensuring uninterrupted video content playback while conserving power.
Implementation Method 1
providing a first proximity sensor on the video playing device or utilizing a first proximity sensor already provided on the video playing device, to monitor a distance from the virtual reality glasses box
Implementation Method 2
providing a second proximity sensor on the virtual reality glasses box or utilizing a second proximity sensor already provided on the virtual reality glasses box, to monitor a distance from eyes of a user
