Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing XR applications struggle with cross-platform compatibility across mobile devices with different operating systems, leading to limitations in user device selection and inconsistent user experiences, particularly when generating XR scenes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating XR scenes using a web environment that utilizes a single API and adapts program code to work across devices with different operating systems, such as Android and iOS, by providing additional APIs as needed, and leveraging sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and lidars for enhanced scene playback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dedicated computer applications are used to generate XR scenes, then XR scene generation capability is provided, but cross-platform compatibility is poor and device selection is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by using a web environment (browser) as a universal platform that can run on multiple operating systems (Android, iOS, etc.) without requiring separate native applications. The browser acts as a universal container that handles different OS APIs, allowing the same XR scene generation logic to work across diverse devices. This resolves the contradiction by providing broad adaptability through a single web-based solution rather than multiple platform-specific applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the browser environment as an intermediary layer between the XR scene generation logic and the underlying operating system APIs. The browser mediates between the web-based application and the native OS, handling API differences and restrictions. This intermediary approach allows the application to maintain consistent behavior across platforms without directly dealing with OS-specific complexities, thus improving cross-platform compatibility while reducing program code adaptation complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a web environment is used to ensure cross-platform compatibility, then device adaptability improves, but API access is restricted and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The browser serves as a reliable intermediary that provides controlled access to native APIs through standardized web APIs. Rather than directly accessing restricted OS APIs, the application uses browser-provided web APIs (such as WebXR, Geolocation API, Device Orientation API) that are reliably available across platforms. The browser mediates these access requests, ensuring both cross-platform compatibility and reliable functionality within the constraints of the web environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adapts to API restrictions by changing the interface parameters and methods used to access device capabilities. Instead of using native OS APIs with direct access, it uses web-based API equivalents that operate within browser security models. For example, using the Geolocation API instead of direct GPS access, or Device Orientation API instead of direct accelerometer/gyroscope access. This parameter change approach maintains reliability by using standardized, well-supported web APIs while achieving cross-platform compatibility.
3Reliability
If platform-specific applications are developed, then API access reliability is maintained, but cross-platform compatibility and user experience consistency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by developing a single web-based application that can run on multiple platforms (Android, iOS, desktop browsers) without requiring separate native applications for each platform. The web environment provides a universal runtime that ensures consistent behavior across platforms while maintaining reliable API access through standardized web APIs. This eliminates the need for platform-specific development while preserving reliability through the use of well-supported browser APIs.
4Loss of time
If program code is adapted for single operating system, then development time is reduced, but user device selection and sharing capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
By using a web environment, the patent achieves multi-functionality where a single program codebase serves multiple operating systems and device types. The web-based approach eliminates the need for separate code adaptations for different platforms, significantly reducing development time while simultaneously expanding device sharing capability. Users can access and share XR scenes across Android, iOS, and desktop devices using the same web application, achieving both time efficiency and broad adaptability.
