Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wearable terminal apparatuses for virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) lack the ability for users to dynamically change and update instruction images displayed in real-time based on user interactions, limiting their effectiveness in collaborative work environments.
Innovation Solution
A wearable terminal apparatus equipped with a camera, communication unit, and processor that transmits images to an external device for instruction generation and allows users to change the display position and annotation of instruction images within their visible region, enabling real-time updates and interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If instruction images are displayed in fixed positions in VR/MR wearable devices, then the display structure is simple and stable, but the adaptability to different user needs and collaborative work scenarios is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display positioning for instruction images in MR/VR wearable devices. The display position is no longer fixed but can be adjusted based on user operations and collaborative work needs. The system allows remote instructors to specify display positions and enables users to modify them locally, making the display adaptable to different scenarios while maintaining system stability through structured control protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables users to independently modify instruction image display positions and add annotations without requiring constant remote instructor intervention. The local terminal can autonomously adjust display parameters based on user operations, reducing communication overhead and improving responsiveness while maintaining collaboration capabilities.
2Productivity
If instruction images cannot be updated in real-time based on user interactions, then the system is simpler to manage, but the productivity and work efficiency in collaborative environments is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements real-time feedback mechanisms where user operations on instruction images (such as positioning adjustments or annotation additions) are immediately processed and reflected in the display. The system continuously monitors user interactions and updates the instruction image display accordingly, enabling dynamic adaptation during collaborative work without requiring system reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuous update capability for instruction images throughout the collaborative work process. Rather than requiring periodic refreshes or manual updates, the system maintains continuous responsiveness to user operations, ensuring that instruction images remain current and relevant throughout the entire work session.
3Ease of operation
If users cannot annotate or modify instruction images locally, then the remote instructor has full control over information accuracy, but the ease of operation and user autonomy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the instruction management functionality into separate modules: remote instructors retain authority to create and send instruction images, while local users gain autonomy to modify display positions and add annotations. This segmentation allows each party to operate within their authorized scope without compromising overall system control or information accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between the remote instructor's instruction and the final display. Local users can add annotations or modify display parameters, but these modifications are structured and tracked, allowing the system to maintain a clear record of who created what information while enabling local adaptations.
Data Source
AI summary
A wearable terminal apparatus to be worn by a user for use includes at least one processor, a camera, and a communication unit. The camera images a space as a visible region of the user. The communication unit performs data communication with an external device to be used by a remote instructor. The at least one processor transmits an image obtained by the camera to the external device via the communication unit. The at least one processor receives instruction information related to an instruction to generate an instruction image via the communication unit, the instruction being made based on the image in the external device. The at least one processor causes a display unit to display the instruction image, the instruction image being visually recognized at a position based on the received instruction information in the space. The at least one processor accepts a user operation to change the displayed instruction image and updates display of the instruction image in accordance with the user operation.
