Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in setting up virtual reality (VR) systems due to confusion about component assembly and connection, leading to a deteriorated out-of-box experience (OOBE) and potential costly help-line calls.

Innovation Solution

An electronic system and method that organizes VR components into labeled containing packages within a packing box, accompanied by printed installation instructions and downloadable software, guiding users through sequential installation steps.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If all components are disposed in a common space of the packing box, then the packing box can accommodate all components, but the user becomes confused about which parts should be assembled/connected/used while installing each component

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent organizationVSAvoidinstallation clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The packing box is divided into multiple compartments, with each compartment containing a specific component or group of components. This segmentation allows users to easily locate and identify each component without confusion, while still accommodating all components within the single packing box structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If users set up VR systems themselves to avoid technician installation costs, then installation costs are reduced, but users experience confusion and anxiety during setup

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation costVSAvoidsetup experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Installation instructions are prepared and organized in advance, with each instruction corresponding to a specific component compartment. The instructions are made available to users before they begin installation, allowing them to understand the setup process beforehand and proceed confidently without requiring technician assistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If detailed installation instructions are provided to improve user experience, then user confusion is reduced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation guidanceVSAvoidinstruction system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A microcomputer-based instruction system serves as an intermediary between the components and the user. This system provides detailed installation guidance through electronic displays or printed materials that reference specific compartments, reducing user confusion without requiring complex physical organization of the components themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
