AR Building Display Layout for Clear Floor-Based Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile apparatuses struggle to effectively display augmented reality information about buildings, as numerous pieces of information overlap without organization, making it difficult for users to understand relevant details.
Innovation Solution
A mobile apparatus and vehicle equipped with a display device, location receiving device, image obtaining device, and controller that recognize buildings, generate billboard images, and organize representative information based on building data, including floor and room information, to display relevant details in a structured manner, with emphasis on popular or preferred locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If numerous pieces of information are overlapped and displayed within a limited screen, then the quantity of information provided increases, but the user's ability to understand relevant information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the building information into multiple floors, with each floor represented as a separate row in the billboard image. Companies or facilities on the same floor are arranged horizontally within that row. This segmentation allows numerous pieces of information to be organized systematically rather than randomly overlapped, making it easier for users to locate and understand specific information by floor level.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms two-dimensional random overlapping information into a structured grid layout with rows representing floors and columns representing company positions. By introducing the floor level as an additional organizational dimension, the system accommodates more information while maintaining clarity through the hierarchical structure of the billboard image.
2Device complexity
If representative information is displayed without organized structure, then the display process is simple, but the relevance and clarity of information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the billboard image into multiple rows corresponding to different floors of the building. Each row contains companies or facilities located on that floor, arranged horizontally. This segmentation structure automatically organizes information by spatial location (floor level) without requiring complex processing, as the row assignment is directly based on the floor number data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display characteristics to different regions of the billboard image based on their semantic meaning. Each row is associated with a specific floor, and companies within each row can be further distinguished by their positions. This local differentiation allows users to quickly identify information relevance by looking at the row position, enhancing information clarity without increasing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A mobile apparatus includes a display device, a location receiving device configured to receive current location information for obtaining a current location, an image obtaining device configured to obtain an image of a surrounding environment, and a controller configured to control display of image information on the image obtained by the image obtaining device during execution of an augmented reality mode, obtain information on a building in the image information based on at least one of the current location information or map information obtained by the location receiving device, and control the display device to overlap and display representative information on the obtained building of the image information.
