Augmented Reality Apparatus Sharing via Server Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high cost and limited usage frequency of augmented reality apparatuses result in a high usage cost, as they are expensive and not frequently used in daily life, limiting their accessibility and sharing among users.
Innovation Solution
A server-based augmented reality system and method that allows multiple users to share the same apparatus by sending unlocking and locking requests, enabling system unlocking and locking, and acquiring and updating real-time scene superimposition information, reducing the need for individual ownership and lowering costs through a sharing mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality apparatus are owned individually, then users have personal access and control, but the cost per user is high and usage frequency is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a sharing mechanism where a single augmented reality apparatus can be accessed by multiple users through user identification and authentication. The system allows the apparatus to serve multiple purposes and users, transforming it from a single-user device to a multi-user shared resource, thereby improving accessibility without proportionally increasing the number of apparatus.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple users share the same apparatus, then purchase cost and usage cost are reduced, but system security and user authentication become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that manages user authentication, device identification, and sharing control. The server mediates between users and the augmented reality apparatus, handling user identification, authentication verification, and device state management. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing complex security and authentication logic, rather than embedding it directly in the device firmware.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the apparatus communicates with the server to report device state, user authentication status, and usage information. The server processes this feedback and sends control instructions back to the apparatus, such as unlocking or locking the device. This feedback loop enables secure shared access while maintaining system control and monitoring.
3Reliability
If real-time scene information is continuously updated, then user experience is improved, but data transmission and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic updates of real-time scene information rather than continuous streaming. The system updates scene superimposition information at specific intervals or triggered by significant changes in the environment, reducing unnecessary data transmission while maintaining adequate real-time accuracy for user experience.

AI summary
Provided is a sharing method for an augmented reality apparatus, including sending an unlocking request to a server, wherein the unlocking request comprises an augmented reality device identifier and a user identifier; receiving a sharing unlocking instruction, wherein the sharing unlocking instruction is sent by the server when the unlocking request passes a verification; and performing system unlocking on the augmented reality apparatus.
