Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality (AR) technologies face challenges in seamlessly integrating virtual objects across multiple devices and displays, limiting interactive experiences and data transfer between screens, especially in real-time environments.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of AR characters that can emerge from one screen, move across multiple displays, and interact with real and virtual objects, utilizing communication links between devices to synchronize data and visual effects, allowing for enhanced interactivity and realism across multiple screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If AR characters are made to move across multiple displays, then user engagement and interactivity are enhanced, but device complexity and data synchronization requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses communication links as intermediaries to transfer AR character data between devices. The system establishes data channels that allow seamless transmission of character position, appearance, and state information across multiple displays without requiring complex direct device-to-device synchronization protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal AR character representation that can be displayed and interacted with across different device types and display formats. The AR character data structure is designed to be device-agnostic, allowing the same character to maintain consistency while adapting to various screen sizes and orientations.
2Reliability
If AR characters interact with real and virtual objects across screens, then realism and immersion improve, but processing requirements and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the AR interaction system into separate functional modules: object recognition components, interaction logic processors, and rendering engines. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining realistic interactions between AR characters and both real and virtual objects.
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple devices are synchronized to show consistent AR content, then user experience consistency improves, but communication bandwidth and data transfer requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates lightweight data copies of AR character information that can be rapidly transmitted across communication links. Instead of transferring complete high-fidelity models, the system uses compressed data representations that maintain visual consistency across devices while minimizing bandwidth consumption.

AI summary
Methods and apparatus to produce augmented reality representations across multiple devices are described. In one example, operation include generating a virtual object, generating a reality space including a first display, and presenting the virtual object in the reality space including the first display on a second display. Further operations include tracking a location of the virtual object in the reality space as the virtual object moves through the reality space, updating the presentation of the virtual object on the second display using the tracked location, and presenting the virtual object on the first display when the tracked location of the virtual object coincides with the location of the first display in the reality space.
