Solution Overview

Problem

Existing extended reality systems face challenges in synchronizing data across multiple output devices, leading to increased complexity and additional delays, particularly when the number of devices increases, resulting in interruptions in the user's experience.

Innovation Solution

An extended reality system that uses a computer to transmit output data including device identifiers and time limits to specific extended reality output devices, ensuring that only relevant data is reproduced within the specified time frame, using a NFXM format for data transmission and encryption to maintain seamless user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional synchronization methods are used to coordinate multiple output devices, then data can be transmitted to all devices, but the system complexity increases and additional delays occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata synchronizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission process by including device identifiers in the output data packets, allowing each extended reality output device to independently identify and process only its designated data portions. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex centralized coordination between multiple devices, reducing system complexity while maintaining reliable synchronization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If traditional synchronization methods are used to coordinate multiple output devices, then data can be transmitted to all devices, but additional delays occur in data reproduction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata synchronizationVSAvoiddata reproduction delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by including time limit information in the output data packets before transmission. Each extended reality output device uses this pre-provided time limit to immediately reproduce its designated data without waiting for coordination signals from other devices, thereby eliminating additional delays while ensuring synchronized reproduction across all devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If all output devices receive and process all reproduction data, then complete data coverage is achieved, but data processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata coverageVSAvoiddata processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning specific device identifiers to different extended reality output devices and including corresponding identifiers in output data packets. Each device processes only the data packets containing its designated identifier, ensuring complete data coverage across all devices while significantly improving individual device processing efficiency by eliminating unnecessary data handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
