[0049] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0050] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0051] This example implementation first provides a cloud-based multi-user collaboration and AR real-time collaboration method. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the method may include:

[0052] Step S101: The virtual machine / physical machine receives information from the cloud access management system requesting virtual machines / physical machines from each user terminal, so that each user terminal can operate on the same model file through its respective virtual machine / physical machine.

[0053] Step S102: The virtual machine / physical machine modifies the model file according to the model file modification request initiated by the corresponding user terminal sent by the cloud access management system. Step S103: The modified model file is then synchronized to the synchronization server.

[0054] Step S103: Distribute the synchronized model file to the AR rendering server so that the AR rendering server can render the synchronized model file into an AR image to obtain the rendered AR image.

[0055] Step S104: Distribute the rendered AR image to each user terminal for decoding and display through the cloud access management system.

[0056] Through the aforementioned cloud-based multi-user collaboration and real-time AR collaboration method, on the one hand, virtual machines / physical machines receive requests from various user terminals sent by the cloud access management system, enabling each user terminal to operate on the same model file through its own virtual machine / physical machine. Based on the model file modification requests initiated by the corresponding user sent by the cloud access management system, the virtual machine / physical machine modifies the model file and synchronizes the modified model file to the synchronization server, achieving real-time synchronization of the modified model file. On the other hand, the synchronized model file is rendered into an AR image by the AR rendering server, resulting in a rendered AR image. This rendered AR image can be distributed to various user terminals via the cloud access management system, where it is decoded and displayed. This method enables multiple users in different locations to simultaneously modify files and preview them in real-time cloud AR, offering advantages such as convenient user collaboration, low cost, and ease of management.

[0057] Below, we will refer to Figures 1 to 2 The steps of the method described above in this example embodiment will be explained in more detail.

[0058] In step S101, the virtual machine / physical machine receives information from the cloud access management system regarding requests for virtual machines / physical machines from various user terminals, enabling each user terminal to operate on the same model file through its respective virtual machine / physical machine. Specifically, this disclosure primarily targets R image design scenarios, such as VR game development scenarios. Each user requests a virtual machine / physical machine through their respective user terminal and sends the request message to the cloud access management system. The cloud access management system then forwards the virtual machine / physical machine request information from each user terminal to the virtual machine / physical machine, enabling each user to operate on the same model file through their respective virtual machine / physical machine. That is, each user can access the same account of the same design software through their respective virtual machine / physical machine, thereby operating on the same model file. Here, the full English name for virtual machine is VM, and the full English name for physical machine is PM.

[0059] It should be noted that this disclosure can provide computing resources through virtual machines / physical machines. In this disclosure, when a user requests a virtual machine / physical machine, they are actually requesting computing resources, which are provided through the virtual machine / physical machine.

[0060] In step S102, the virtual machine / physical machine modifies the model file according to the model file modification request initiated by the corresponding user terminal sent by the cloud access management system. Specifically, each user logs in to their account and sends a message to modify the model file to the cloud access management system through their respective user terminal. The cloud access management system then sends the message to modify the model file to their respective virtual machine / physical machine, so that the corresponding virtual machine / physical machine can modify the model file.

[0061] In one embodiment, the user modifies the model file using design software installed on a virtual machine / physical machine with the Omniverse plugin.

[0062] In step S103, the modified model file is synchronized to the synchronization server. Specifically, after each user logs into their respective user terminal, the modified model file from their respective virtual machine / physical machine is synchronized to the Omniverse synchronization server for subsequent rendering.

[0063] It should be noted that when users modify model files using design software installed on a virtual machine / physical machine with the Omniverse plugin, the modified content of the files will be uploaded to the Omniverse Nucleus server by the Omniverse plugin.

[0064] In step S103, the synchronized model file is distributed to the AR rendering server, so that the AR rendering server can render the synchronized model file into an AR image to obtain the rendered AR image. Specifically, after synchronizing the model file, the synchronization server distributes it to the AR rendering server. It should be noted that the Omniverse Nucleus server synchronizes the modified model file to the already connected Omniverse Cloud XR server via the network for AR rendering to obtain the rendered AR image.

[0065] In step S104, the rendered AR image is distributed to each user terminal for decoding and display via the cloud access management system. Specifically, after obtaining the modified model file, the Omniverse Cloud XR server begins rendering the AR image and sends it to the cloud access management system for relaying. This allows the cloud access management system to send the rendered AR image to each user terminal via public network mapping. Here, public network mapping refers to a gateway, also known as an internetwork connector or protocol converter. Its purpose is to remap an internal network IP address to a port of a public network IP address, enabling external network users to access resources. Here, IP refers to the Internet Protocol, a network layer protocol in the TCP / IP architecture.

[0066] It should be noted that user terminals may include computers (Personal Compute, PC), streaming zero-terminals, or mobile devices. Virtual machines / physical machines include physical machine resources, virtual machine resources created in the virtual machine platform, and bare metal platforms. The bare metal platform includes bare metal nodes and bare metal management chassis. The resource management platform includes a cloud access management system and an external network egress device that performs public network mapping. User terminals include PCs, zero-terminal devices capable of receiving streaming information, and mobile devices.

[0067] Optionally, in some embodiments, before synchronizing the modified model file to the synchronization server, the method further includes:

[0068] The virtual machine / physical machine connects to the synchronization server. Specifically, the virtual machine / physical machine uses a preset account and password to connect to the synchronization server. For example, the design software on the virtual machine / physical machine has the Omniverse plugin installed, logs in to the plugin with a preset account and password, connects to the Omniverse Nucleus server, and is ready to synchronize at any time.

[0069] Optionally, in some embodiments, the step of distributing the synchronized model file to an AR rendering server so that the AR rendering server can render the synchronized model file into an AR image to obtain the rendered AR image further includes:

[0070] The rendered AR image is then encoded to obtain a rendered and encoded AR image. Specifically, the synchronized model file is rendered by the Omniverse Cloud XR server to obtain the rendered AR image, which is then encoded and sent to the cloud access management system. Furthermore, the rendered AR image is encoded using H.265 or AV1 format.

[0071] This example implementation also provides a cloud-based multi-user collaboration and AR real-time collaboration method. (See reference) Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0072] Step S201: The cloud access management system receives messages from various user terminals requesting virtual machines / physical machines.

[0073] Step S202: The cloud access management system allocates a host according to the received message requesting a virtual machine / physical machine.

[0074] Step S203: Send the message requesting a virtual machine / physical machine to the assigned host so that each user terminal can operate on the same model file through its assigned host.

[0075] Step S204: The cloud access management system sends the model file modification requests initiated by each user terminal to their respective assigned hosts, so that each user terminal can modify and synchronize the model file through their respective assigned hosts, and the respective assigned hosts can render AR images on the synchronized model file.

[0076] Step S205: After receiving the rendered AR image, the cloud access management system sends the rendered AR image to each user terminal for decoding and display.

[0077] Below, we will refer to Figures 2 to 3 The steps of the method described above in this example embodiment will be explained in more detail.

[0078] In step S201, the cloud access management system receives messages requesting virtual machines / physical machines from various user terminals. Specifically, users log in to their accounts and send messages requesting virtual machines / physical machines through their user terminals. The user login account is a valid account distributed by the cloud access management system. After logging in on the user terminal software and clicking the connect button, the user terminal sends a message requesting a virtual machine / physical machine to the cloud access management system.

[0079] In step S202, the cloud access management system allocates hosts based on the received request for virtual machines / physical machines, enabling each user terminal to operate on the same model file through its assigned host. Specifically, the cloud access management system allocates hosts, starts the hosts, and notifies the streaming software to begin operation based on the received request for virtual machines / physical machines. The streaming software may include Moonlight, Steamlink, AMD, and domestic providers such as ShuttleX, Wegame, and Sunflower Games. The hosts can be physical machines, virtual machines, bare metal nodes, OmniverseNucleus servers, or Omniverse Cloud XR servers.

[0080] In one embodiment, the step of the cloud access management system allocating a host based on the received request message includes:

[0081] The host is allocated according to a preset allocation type, and the allocated host is started. The preset allocation type includes manual allocation and automatic allocation. Specifically, the host is allocated according to the preset allocation type, and then started. The preset allocation types include manual allocation and automatic allocation. Manual allocation involves pre-assigning hosts to the user in the cloud access management system, so that the allocated host is used directly when the user makes a request. Automatic allocation checks if there are any available hosts in the resource pool to which the user belongs. If so, an available host is selected and delivered to the user according to preset rules. The preset rules match the resource pool's level with the host level required by the user. For example, if a resource pool has available high-performance hosts, and the user requires a high-performance host, the resource pool will allocate any available high-performance hosts to that user.

[0082] It's important to note that a resource pool is a collection of resources. A resource pool (or pool) is a configuration mechanism used to partition host resources. Each host has a default resource pool, and all processes are initially bound to this resource pool.

[0083] In step S203, the cloud access management system sends the model file modification requests initiated by each user terminal to their respective assigned hosts, enabling each user terminal to modify and synchronize the model file through its assigned host, and then the assigned host to render the synchronized model file as an AR image. Specifically, each user logs into their respective user terminal and initiates a model file modification request to the cloud access management system. After receiving the model file modification request, the cloud access management system sends it to its assigned host, allowing each user to modify the model file through their assigned host and synchronize the modified model file to the synchronization server. Then, the AR rendering server on each host renders the synchronized model file as an AR image, thus obtaining the rendered AR image.

[0084] In step S204, after receiving the rendered AR image, the cloud access management system sends the rendered AR image to each user terminal for decoding and display. Specifically, the cloud access management system distributes the received rendered AR image to each user terminal after mapping it via the public network.

[0085] It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this disclosure are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that these steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or a step may be broken down into multiple steps. Furthermore, it is readily understood that these steps may be executed synchronously or asynchronously, for example, in multiple modules / processes / threads.

[0086] Furthermore, this example embodiment also provides a cloud-based multi-user collaboration and AR real-time collaboration device. (See reference) Figure 4 As shown, the device 300 may include: a receiving module, a modifying model, a synchronization module, a rendering module, and a sending module.

[0087] The receiving module is used to receive information from various user terminals requesting virtual machines / physical machines sent by the cloud access management system, so that each user terminal can operate on the same model file through its respective virtual machine / physical machine.

[0088] The modification module is used by the virtual machine / physical machine to modify the model file according to the model file modification request initiated by the corresponding user terminal sent by the cloud access management system.

[0089] The synchronization module is used to synchronize the modified model file to the synchronization server.

[0090] The rendering module is used to distribute the synchronized model file to the AR rendering server, so that the AR rendering server can render the synchronized model file into an AR image to obtain the rendered AR image.

[0091] The sending module is used to distribute the rendered AR image to the user terminal for decoding and display through the cloud access management system.
