3D Stored-Value Card Generation for Augmented Reality Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Stored-value cards sent in digital format are typically presented in two dimensions and lack customization options for recipients, failing to provide an engaging and personalized experience.
Innovation Solution
A computer server system generates and sends a three-dimensional object representing a stored-value card to a mobile device for display in augmented reality, allowing customization of parameters such as graphical features, animation, and placement within the AR environment, enabling recipients to view, interact with, and store the card in a mobile wallet.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If stored-value cards are presented in two-dimensional digital format, then they are simple to send and display, but they lack customization options and user engagement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional two-dimensional digital card into a three-dimensional virtual object that can be displayed in augmented reality space. This dimensional transition enables recipients to view, rotate, and interact with the card from multiple angles, providing enhanced customization options for graphical features, animations, and spatial placement while maintaining digital delivery simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The stored-value card is transformed from a static two-dimensional image into a dynamic three-dimensional object with animation capabilities. The card can rotate, change appearance based on user interaction, and incorporate animated graphical features, making the delivery experience more engaging while remaining digitally deliverable
2Ease of operation
If stored-value cards are customized for recipients, then user engagement increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows senders to pre-configure customization parameters for the three-dimensional card before delivery. Recipients receive a personalized card with pre-set graphical features, animations, and spatial preferences, enhancing user engagement without requiring complex real-time customization systems on the recipient's device
3Adaptability or versatility
If three-dimensional augmented reality objects are used, then personalization and engagement improve, but processing and rendering requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses pre-rendered three-dimensional models and graphical assets that are copied and instantiated for each card delivery. Rather than generating complex graphics in real-time on the recipient's device, the system prepares and transmits optimized 3D model data that can be efficiently rendered using standard augmented reality capabilities

AI summary
A computer server system comprises a communications module; a processor coupled with the communications module; and a memory coupled to the processor and storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to receive, via the communications module and from a requesting device, a signal that includes a request to send a stored-value card to a recipient, the request identifying one or more parameters of the stored-value card; generate the stored-value card and a three-dimensional object representing the stored-value card according to the one or more parameters; and send, via the communications module and to a mobile device of the recipient, a signal that includes the three-dimensional object representing the stored-value card for display in augmented reality.
