Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies do not provide a sufficiently immersive experience and effective means to deliver information about objects within a 3D map, limiting user interaction and understanding of the environment.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that control a user terminal to display a 3D map within an AR view, outputting content related to user interactions with objects, including audio and additional AR content, and adjusting the map scale and display based on user input, to enhance information delivery and immersion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AR technology is used to display 3D maps, then user immersion and virtual exploration capability are improved, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevirtual exploration capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the 3D map rendering and information processing into modular components that can be independently managed and optimized, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining immersive virtual exploration capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The AR platform is designed with multi-functional capabilities that allow a single system to handle multiple tasks including 3D map rendering, object interaction, audio content delivery, and virtual exploration, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If detailed information about objects is provided through multiple channels (audio, visual, AR content), then information completeness and user understanding are improved, but the information overload and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor user interaction and attention, dynamically adjusting the delivery of information across audio, visual, and AR channels to provide comprehensive information while avoiding overload by responding to user needs in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The information delivery system is designed to be dynamic, allowing the type, amount, and timing of information presented through different channels to change based on user interaction patterns, ensuring completeness without static complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If real-time interaction with 3D map objects is enabled, then user engagement and information accessibility are improved, but the computational load and response time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcomputational load
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and caching 3D map data, object information, and interaction responses before they are needed, reducing computational load during real-time user engagement while maintaining fast response times

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Provided is a method of controlling a user terminal including displaying an Augmented Reality (AR) view that includes a video captured by a camera of the user terminal, through augmentation in the video within the AR view, displaying a three-dimensional (3D) map of a first area that includes a location of the user terminal or a location designated by a user of the user terminal, and outputting content that includes information related to a first object based on the user's interaction with the first object in the 3D map, wherein the interaction with the first object includes a selection on the first object or AR content output in association with the first object, a gazing interaction to position and maintain the first object in a predetermined area of the AR view, or a voice command that calls the information related to the first object.
