Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current augmented reality systems lack the capability for dynamic and automatic creation and capture of augmented reality content based on predefined event criteria, often requiring manual intervention and missing potential captures.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that analyze reality data, generate augmented reality content, and automatically capture it when predefined capture event criteria are met, allowing for concurrent rendering and storage of video, images, or audio content using a device with integrated sensors and communication modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If augmented reality content is captured manually, then user control is maintained, but capture timing may be missed and automation is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomatic captureVSAvoidcapture timing accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of reality data against capture event criteria before actual capture occurs. By pre-defining capture conditions and continuously monitoring reality data, the system prepares for capture in advance, ensuring automatic capture happens at the correct moment without missing significant events.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If augmented reality content is displayed to user first, then user experience is enhanced, but capture opportunity is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experienceVSAvoidcapture delay

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs capture before displaying augmented reality content to the user. By analyzing reality data, identifying augmentation data, and capturing the combined augmented reality content in this sequence, the system ensures that significant events are recorded before the user's attention is engaged by the display, preventing any loss of capture opportunity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If continuous monitoring of reality data is performed, then capture accuracy is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecapture event detection accuracyVSAvoiddevice energy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs periodic analysis of reality data against capture event criteria rather than continuous monitoring. The processor continuously receives reality image data and analyzes it according to predefined capture conditions, enabling accurate detection of capture events while allowing the system to enter lower-power states between analysis cycles, thus reducing overall energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

A technique for dynamic augmented reality media creation includes an analysis of reality content received by a device. Augmentation data is identified based on the analysis of the reality content, and then the augmentation data is displayed to the user via the device. A capture module determines whether the reality content meets capture event criteria and, if the criteria is met, augmented reality content is created and captured prior to a display of the augmentation data to the user.
