Augmented Reality Content Generator for Interactive Video Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional television content delivery methods do not effectively integrate augmented reality, limiting user engagement and interaction with video content.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a communication network to receive video content, determine user interest points, identify objects within the content, and generate augmented reality content based on this information, which is then provided to a communication device for presentation, enabling interactive and immersive experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional television content delivery methods are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but user engagement and interaction with video content are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality content generator as an intermediary component that receives video content, analyzes it using computer vision algorithms, and generates enhanced AR content with interactive elements. This mediator transforms traditional passive video delivery into an interactive experience while managing complexity through modular architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the video content processing into distinct modules: video analysis module, object recognition module, AR content generation module, and interactive element integration module. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving user engagement while keeping the overall system manageable through division of labor
2Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality content generation is implemented, then user engagement is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of video content during the encoding and distribution phase, pre-identifying objects, scenes, and potential interaction points. This advance preparation reduces the computational burden on end-user devices, allowing complex AR generation to occur primarily on server-side infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates simplified representations and metadata copies of the video content that contain structured information about objects, scenes, and interaction opportunities. These copies are generated once and distributed with the video, allowing multiple users to access pre-processed information without requiring each device to perform full analysis
