AR Banknote Recognition and Overlay System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality technologies face limitations in recognizing and interacting with real-world objects, particularly in providing dynamic and flexible digital overlays without the need for QR codes or hidden signatures, and struggle with robust recognition across varying angles and lighting conditions.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a method for automatically recognizing two- or three-dimensional real-world objects using augmented reality display devices, allowing for the superimposition of digital overlays that can include videos, live streams, and buying options, and enables flexible definition of recognition areas, excluding or including security features as needed, for dynamic updates and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional electronic advertisements are used, then device complexity is reduced, but user attention and engagement are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that bridges traditional advertisements and users. The advertisement recognition system acts as a mediator that detects traditional ads and triggers appropriate AR responses, allowing users to engage with familiar ad formats while receiving enhanced interactive experiences through the AR layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy or representation of the physical advertisement through image recognition. By capturing and analyzing the visual content of traditional advertisements, the system generates a digital twin that can then be enhanced with AR elements, preserving the original ad's identity while adding interactive capabilities.
2Measurement precision
If QR codes or hidden signatures are used for AR triggering, then recognition accuracy is improved, but manufacturing complexity and material requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the recognition function from specialized markers like QR codes and implements it through general-purpose image recognition algorithms. By removing the requirement for specific marker elements, the system achieves accurate recognition of any advertisement image without adding manufacturing complexity to print materials.
Solution Approach 2:
The advertisement recognition system is designed to be universal, capable of recognizing various types of advertisements without requiring specific marker formats. This multi-functional approach allows the same system to handle different ad formats, sizes, and styles, eliminating the need for specialized QR codes or hidden signatures across different materials.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed recognition areas are defined, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different viewing conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic recognition areas that can adapt to different viewing conditions, object orientations, and advertisement formats. The system automatically adjusts the recognition boundaries based on the detected advertisement characteristics and camera angle, providing flexibility without requiring manual configuration of fixed areas for each scenario.

AI summary
A banknote, coin or other financial instrument information system recognizes a real world object relating to a money transaction and uses augmented, mixed and/or virtual reality to display information associated with the banknote and/or the transaction on a smart device such as a smartphone or AR glasses.
