Solution Overview

Problem

Existing XR technologies struggle to provide an appropriate virtual object presentation for each user, leading to a weakened immersive experience due to varying user attributes.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus that acquires user attribute information from captured images and determines the presentation mode of XR content based on this information, ensuring personalized and appropriate virtual object presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a single virtual object presentation mode is used for all users, then the system is simple to operate, but the immersive feeling is weakened for users with different attributes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidimmersive feeling
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the virtual object presentation mode adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The system automatically adjusts presentation parameters (such as virtual object size, position, and characteristics) based on detected user attributes like height, age, and gender, allowing the system to dynamically adapt to different users while maintaining ease of use through automatic adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes presentation parameters of virtual objects based on user attributes. The system modifies parameters such as virtual object scale, position, and characteristics according to detected user information (height, age, gender), thereby optimizing the immersive experience for each user without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the system automatically acquires user attribute information from captured images, then user information input is simplified, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information input simplicityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically acquiring user attribute information from captured images without requiring manual input from users. The image processing apparatus automatically detects user attributes such as height, age, and gender from captured images and uses this information to adjust virtual object presentation, eliminating the need for users to provide information manually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical information input methods with automated image processing. Instead of requiring users to manually input their information through forms or interfaces, the system uses image capture and automated attribute detection algorithms to acquire user information, substituting manual mechanical input with automated optical and computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of manufacture

If virtual objects are displayed according to general settings, then the system is easy to implement, but the virtual objects are not appropriately displayed for specific users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation easeVSAvoidvirtual object display accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing virtual object presentation parameters for specific users based on their individual attributes. Instead of using uniform settings for all users, the system adjusts virtual object characteristics locally for each user according to their detected attributes (height, age, gender), thereby improving display accuracy and appropriateness for each individual user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
