Augmented Reality Content Generation and Update Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Augmented Reality (AR) technology only overlays virtual information onto camera preview images without effectively managing or updating AR information, failing to meet user requirements for enhanced functionality on mobile devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that merge AR information with images captured by a camera, allowing for the generation and periodic updating of AR content by combining image data with AR information, which is stored and displayed on mobile terminals, and managed through a server for communication and updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If AR information is simply overlaid onto camera preview images, then the implementation is simple and quick, but the functionality is limited and does not meet user requirements for enhanced mobile device capabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments AR content delivery into distinct components: AR information storage on server, periodic updating mechanisms, and client-side rendering. This allows independent optimization of each component to enhance overall functionality while maintaining implementation feasibility.
Solution Approach 2:
AR information is prepared and stored on the server in advance before being transmitted to the mobile device. The system performs preliminary processing of AR content, organizing it in a format ready for efficient display and updating, which enhances functionality without adding complexity to the mobile device implementation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If AR information is stored and updated periodically on mobile terminals, then the AR content can be enriched and updated, but the system complexity increases due to server communication and update management
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that centralizes AR information storage and update management. The mobile device communicates with the server to receive updated AR content, which enriches the AR experience while keeping the complexity centralized on the server rather than distributed across multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses copy mechanisms where AR information is transmitted from the server to the mobile device. The mobile device stores local copies of AR content that can be displayed and updated without requiring constant server connectivity, reducing communication overhead while maintaining content enrichment.
3Ease of operation
If AR information is merged with images in response to display requests, then the AR experience becomes more dynamic and user-friendly, but the processing time and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
AR information is pre-processed and organized on the server in a format optimized for mobile device display. When a display request is received, the mobile device can quickly render the AR content by combining pre-prepared AR information with captured images, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining dynamic and user-friendly AR experiences.
