Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality applications lack the ability to provide supplemental content that is tailored and relevant to the user, often overwhelming them with unnecessary information.

Innovation Solution

The system and method for presenting supplemental content in augmented reality involve using a media guidance application to analyze the user's field of view, detect objects of interest, and search the user's profile and social media history to identify relevant content, which is then overlaid onto the augmented reality view.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If augmented reality applications provide comprehensive information about objects in the field of view, then the information completeness is improved, but the user experience deteriorates due to information overload and clutter

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different information to different users based on their individual profiles, preferences, and historical interactions. The system analyzes user-specific data to determine which supplemental content is most relevant to each user, thereby delivering comprehensive information in a personalized manner that avoids generic information overload and improves user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Quantity of substance

If augmented reality applications display all available supplemental content, then the content coverage is improved, but the device complexity increases due to processing and managing large volumes of data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent coverageVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by selectively filtering and extracting only the most relevant supplemental content based on user profiles and preferences. Instead of processing and displaying all available content, the system extracts specific pieces of information that are most valuable to each user, thereby reducing data processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive content coverage for personalized delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If augmented reality applications provide personalized and relevant supplemental content, then the user engagement is improved, but the system complexity increases due to analyzing user profiles and preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing and analyzing user profile data, preferences, and historical interactions before the augmented reality session begins. The system performs this analysis in advance to create personalized content filters and relevance criteria, thereby reducing the computational complexity during the actual AR session while maintaining high personalization capability and user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods provided for presenting supplemental content in an augmented reality environment where an object within a field of view of an augmented reality device of a user is identified and processed to detect a reference related to a participant in an event. A user profile or user social network is searched to identify a message from the user about the participant. The message may be combined with the object in the augmented reality field of view.
