Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If hand gesture detection is added to enable interactive control of augmented reality information, then user interaction capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera module serves multiple functions: capturing real-world images for augmented reality display and detecting hand gestures for interaction control. By making the camera module multi-functional, the patent adds gesture recognition capability without requiring separate detection hardware, thus improving user interaction while minimizing the increase in device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The processor performs dual roles: generating augmented reality information from captured images and analyzing the same images to detect hand gestures. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide both augmented reality display and gesture-based interaction control using the same processing resources, enhancing versatility while controlling complexity
2Speed
If real-time hand gesture detection is implemented, then interaction responsiveness is improved, but processing speed requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously captures images through the camera module even before gesture detection is needed, preparing the visual data in advance. This preliminary capture of images allows the processor to quickly analyze hand gestures when interaction is initiated, improving responsiveness without requiring excessive processing speed during the actual interaction moment
Solution Approach 2:
The camera module and processor work in a self-sustaining cycle where the camera continuously provides image data and the processor continuously analyzes this data for gestures. This ongoing self-service operation ensures that when a user performs a gesture, the system is already prepared to detect and respond to it immediately, enhancing interaction responsiveness while distributing processing load over time
