Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to accurately capture and visualize large volumes of telemetry data in diverse environments due to difficulties in translating data visualizations and virtual objects across different settings, making it challenging to verify accuracy and understand the meaning of the data.
Innovation Solution
A computer system is provided that defines a virtual model of a workspace relative to anchor points, adjusts its fit to the environment, receives telemetry data, aggregates it, and projects it to visualization models using a display device, enabling accurate display across different environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If telemetry data is collected from diverse environments and translated to different visualization settings, then the quantity and coverage of data increases, but the accuracy and consistency of data representation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal coordinate system framework that can handle telemetry data from diverse environments and translate it accurately to different visualization settings. The system uses anchor points and transformation matrices to maintain data accuracy across multiple contexts, allowing the same data processing approach to work universally across warehouses, retail stores, and other workspaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediate coordinate systems and transformation matrices as mediators between the original telemetry data and the final visualization. These transformation layers act as intermediaries that preserve data accuracy while adapting the representation to different environments, preventing direct loss of precision during translation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If virtual models are adapted to fit different workspace environments, then the adaptability of the system improves, but the alignment precision between virtual models and real-world data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic coordinate system transformations that can adapt to different workspace environments while maintaining precision. The system uses adjustable transformation matrices and anchor points that can be configured for each specific environment, allowing the virtual model to dynamically adapt without losing alignment precision through the use of environment-specific transformation parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local coordinate system definitions and anchor points to specific regions of the workspace, allowing different parts of the virtual model to be precisely aligned with their corresponding real-world areas. This local quality approach ensures that each transformed coordinate system maintains high alignment precision for its specific locale while the overall system remains adaptable.
3Stability of the object's composition
If anchor points are used to lock virtual models to the environment, then the stability of the virtual model improves, but the complexity of the setup process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary coordinate system transformations and anchor point configurations during the initial setup phase, storing these transformation matrices for reuse. This preliminary action stabilizes the virtual model configuration once established, reducing the perceived complexity for subsequent operations while maintaining high stability through pre-computed transformation parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses anchor points to create stable reference copies of the real-world coordinate system in the virtual environment. These anchor point copies serve as stable reference frames that lock the virtual model to the physical space, providing stability while the complexity is managed through automated anchor point detection and configuration algorithms.

AI summary
A computer system is provided that includes one or more processors configured to define a virtual model of a workspace that is world-locked to a three-dimensional environment by a pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to adjust a fit of the virtual model to the workspace by adjusting a position of a virtual component of the virtual model relative to the pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to receive telemetry data including position information indicating a location of a telemetry event relative to the pair of anchor points in the workspace, and determine a visualization model based on the virtual model of the workspace, and project telemetry data to the visualization model based on a mapping of a pair of points in the visualization model to the pair of anchor points in the virtual model.
