Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional augmented reality technology lacks classification criteria for virtual objects based on user motion and context, leading to user confusion and difficulty in perceiving changes in anchoring schemes.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that control the display to display augmented reality objects, obtain anchoring attribute information, identify the anchoring type based on user motion, and apply visual effects representing the anchoring type, allowing users to easily recognize changes in anchoring schemes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple virtual objects are displayed widely spread in augmented reality space without classification, then the quantity of displayed objects increases, but user confusion increases and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments virtual objects into different categories based on their anchoring types (e.g., space-anchored, object-anchored, body-anchored). This classification allows the system to manage and display multiple objects without overwhelming the user, as objects are organized by their behavioral characteristics rather than being presented as a uniform undifferentiated set.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different visual effects and display characteristics to different categories of virtual objects based on their anchoring types. For example, space-anchored objects may be displayed with different visual cues compared to object-anchored objects, allowing users to quickly distinguish and understand the behavior of each object type without explicit explanation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If anchoring scheme changes based on user motion and object attributes, then adaptability improves, but user perception of the change deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism that provides visual effects and notifications to users when anchoring schemes change. When an object's anchoring type changes based on user motion or interaction, the system displays visual feedback (such as changing visual effects, icons, or annotations) to inform the user of the change, ensuring they are aware of the updated behavior without needing to explicitly query the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes visual effect changes (including color changes, transparency adjustments, and other visual modifications) to indicate different anchoring types and transitions. These visual changes provide intuitive feedback to users about the current anchoring state and any changes that occur, making the adaptive behavior of the system perceptible and understandable.
3Ease of operation
If visual effects are applied to represent anchoring types, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs visual effects as temporary, lightweight indicators rather than permanent structural changes. These visual effects are applied dynamically based on the anchoring type and can be changed or removed without affecting the core system architecture, providing ease of operation without significant increases in device complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device and a method for anchoring an augmented reality object are provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a display and at least one processor operatively connected with the memory and the display. The at least one processor may be configured to control the display to display at least one augmented reality object on an augmented reality space, obtain anchoring attribute information designated to the at least one augmented reality object, identify an anchoring type of content anchored to the at least one augmented reality object according to a user's motion based on the anchoring attribute information, and control the display to display a visual effect representing the anchoring type to the content.
