AR Anchor Permission Management for Controlled Virtual Object Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing virtual objects in augmented reality struggle to control access permissions effectively, allowing unintended users to view or interact with virtual objects.
Innovation Solution
A system that manages virtual objects by associating them with real-world features, using identification information to set permissions for viewing and storing, including disclosure ranges and storage permissions, ensuring only intended users can access and interact with the objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If virtual objects are disclosed in association with feature quantities in the real world without permission control, then accessibility and ease of operation are improved, but security and access control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by setting disclosure ranges and storage permissions for virtual objects before they are accessed by users. The management unit pre-configures which user groups can view or store each virtual object, and this permission information is stored in association with the feature quantities. When users access the real world through the camera, the system automatically checks these pre-set permissions before allowing access to virtual objects, thus maintaining security while enabling easy access for authorized users.
2Reliability
If permission settings are implemented for virtual objects, then security and access control are improved, but device complexity and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The management unit serves multiple functions: it manages feature quantities in the real world, associates identification information with virtual objects, controls disclosure ranges, and manages storage permissions all through a single integrated component. This multi-functional design consolidates what could be separate complex systems into one unified management unit, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive permission control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The management unit acts as an intermediary between the virtual objects and the users accessing them through the camera. It mediates the access control process by automatically checking permission settings against user credentials and determining whether to allow viewing or storing of virtual objects. This intermediary layer simplifies the complexity by centralizing the decision-making logic for access control rather than distributing it across multiple components.
3Reliability
If disclosure ranges and storage permissions are enforced, then data security is improved, but ease of operation and user flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic permission checking that adapts to different users and contexts. The management unit evaluates disclosure ranges and storage permissions based on the specific user, the virtual object being accessed, and the current context. This dynamic approach allows the system to automatically adjust access levels rather than using fixed rigid rules, maintaining user flexibility within secure boundaries. Users experience ease of operation because the system automatically handles permission verification without requiring manual intervention, while data security is maintained through enforced permission boundaries.

AI summary
A system manages, in a case where feature quantities in a real world is managed in association with identification information, the feature quantities in the real world being used to link the virtual object with the real world to display the virtual object, a permission setting of use for the virtual object associated with the identification information are further managed.
