AR Information Authorization via Location-Based Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Augmented Reality (AR) services face issues with information security and user experience due to the provision of unnecessary information, leading to difficulties in filtering desired information and causing processing delays.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for authorizing the use of AR information by acquiring location information, creating user authorization, and transmitting attribute information to an AR system to register and provide limited access to AR information based on user permissions and location, allowing for controlled dissemination of AR data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all AR information is provided through mobile phones, then users can access comprehensive information, but information security is compromised and users receive unnecessary information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating information access rights for different users based on their locations. Authorization information is created that specifies which users can access AR information at which locations, allowing comprehensive information to be available in principle while restricting access locally to authorized users only.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by creating authorization information in advance that pre-determines which users can access AR information at specific locations. This authorization information is registered with the AR system before actual information access occurs, enabling security control without affecting real-time information availability.
2Loss of information
If a method filters desired information from large amounts of AR information, then users receive only relevant information, but processing delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction by performing the filtering action in advance. Authorization information is created and registered beforehand, containing pre-filtered information about which users should receive which AR information at which locations. This eliminates the need for real-time filtering, as the AR system can directly deliver appropriate information based on pre-established authorization rules.

AI summary
A method for authorizing use of Augmented Reality (AR) information includes acquiring information regarding a location at which the AR information is to be provided, authorizing a user to use the AR information, creating attribute information including the AR information, the location information, and authority information, and transmitting the attribute information to an AR system. The AR system can register the attribute information, and can provide the AR information only to authorized users. An apparatus to authorize use of Augmented Reality (AR) information includes a location information acquiring unit, an authorization unit to authorize a user to use the AR information, and an AR information processor to create attribute information. The attribute information is transmitted to an AR system as a request for the AR system to register the attribute information so the AR system provides the AR information only to authorized users.
