AI Geospatial Content Delivery for Augmented Reality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in accessing and organizing vast amounts of digital data relevant to specific locations and purposes, particularly in buildings and real estate, where information is scattered across different environments and requires specialized skills to access, leading to inefficiencies and loss of knowledge as workers retire or move.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing artificial intelligence to provide relevant digital content to users based on their geospatial location and purpose, using a controller to select and present pertinent information from a larger dataset, ensuring secure access to only authorized personnel by integrating augmented reality and location-specific data from sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If digital data is stored across multiple different environments, then data capacity and accessibility are improved, but data organization and access efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments digital content into location-specific portions and associates each portion with specific geospatial coordinates. This allows data to be distributed across multiple environments while maintaining organized access through location-based retrieval, resolving the contradiction between data capacity and access efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an artificial intelligence system as an intermediary that automatically selects and presents pertinent information based on the user's location and purpose. This mediator layer simplifies access to distributed data by filtering and organizing content according to contextual relevance, thereby improving data access efficiency without sacrificing data capacity.
2Reliability
If specialized skills are required to access digital tools and information, then data security and authorization are improved, but ease of access and operational simplicity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the artificial intelligence system automatically determines user authorization based on location and purpose without requiring manual verification of specialized credentials. The system autonomously grants or denies access to pertinent information, maintaining security while simplifying the user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the authorization parameters from skill-based credentials to location and purpose-based criteria. By evaluating the user's geospatial position and stated purpose rather than requiring specialized technical skills, the system maintains reliable authorization while dramatically improving ease of access.
3Loss of information
If all digital content is made available to users, then information completeness is improved, but information overload and processing time worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the pertinent portion of digital content based on the user's location and purpose, rather than presenting all available information. This selective extraction maintains information completeness for the specific context while eliminating irrelevant data that would contribute to information overload and processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by providing a subset of available digital content that is specifically relevant to the user's current location and purpose. Rather than presenting the complete dataset, the system delivers just enough information to accomplish the user's objective, reducing processing time while maintaining adequacy.
4Loss of information
If knowledge is retained by individual workers, then organizational memory is improved, but knowledge loss occurs when workers retire or move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of location-specific knowledge and associates it with geospatial coordinates rather than individual workers. When workers retire or move, the knowledge remains preserved in the system at its location, ensuring organizational continuity while maintaining the integrity of the knowledge base.

AI summary
Apparatus and methods of artificial intelligent based provision of digital content where and when the digital content is needed based upon where a user is located and a purpose for accessing the content as well as credentials of a user seeking to access the digital content. Persistent digital content is linked to location coordinates. More specifically, the present invention links a physical onsite location with digital content to enable a user interface with augmented reality that combines aspects of the physical area with location specific digital content. In addition, access to digital content may be limited to users in defined access areas.
