Solution Overview

Problem

User terminals may encounter errors when receiving point of interest information due to lacking the necessary capabilities to present augmented reality content, leading to failed rendering or device functionality.

Innovation Solution

The method involves querying the user terminal for required device and rendering capabilities, hiding or obtaining the necessary capabilities if they are absent, ensuring that the AR content can be presented without errors by either enabling existing hardware or accessing remote rendering services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If point of interest information is transmitted to user terminals without capability verification, then the information can be delivered quickly, but errors occur when terminals lack required capabilities for presenting AR content

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAR content presentation reliabilityVSAvoidcapability verification process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs capability verification before transmitting point of interest information to the user terminal. By checking whether the terminal has the required capabilities (such as 3D rendering capability) in advance, the system prevents errors from occurring during AR content presentation, thus improving reliability without causing subsequent failures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The network server obtains capability information from the user terminal and uses this feedback to determine whether to transmit specific point of interest information. This feedback mechanism ensures that only compatible information is sent, preventing capability-related errors while maintaining efficient information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If capability verification is performed before transmitting point of interest information, then errors are prevented, but the transmission process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAR content presentation reliabilityVSAvoidcapability verification time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Capability verification is performed in advance before information transmission. The system checks the terminal's capabilities and makes determination about information delivery beforehand, which prevents errors during presentation and avoids time-consuming error handling later in the process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs capability verification selectively rather than universally. By checking only the necessary capabilities required for specific AR content types, the system minimizes verification time while ensuring reliability for the actual content being transmitted.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Ease of operation

If AR content is presented on terminals without capability checks, then the system is simpler to operate, but rendering failures occur when terminals lack necessary hardware capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidAR content rendering reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The user terminal autonomously provides capability information to the network server, and the server automatically determines whether to transmit point of interest information based on this information. This self-service approach maintains operational simplicity while ensuring rendering reliability through automated capability-based decision making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal feeds back its capability status to the server, which then adjusts information transmission accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that AR content is only presented on terminals with the necessary hardware capabilities, preventing rendering failures while keeping the user experience simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention discloses a method, an apparatus, and a system for presenting augmented reality technology content, relates to the field of virtual reality technology, and solves a problem in the prior art that a user terminal may run into an error when receiving point of interest information because the user terminal does not have a capability required for presenting AR content in the point of interest information. The technical solution includes: obtaining point of interest information, where the point of interest information includes AR content and capability information corresponding to a capability required for presenting the AR content; querying, according to the capability information, whether a user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content; and hiding the AR content or obtaining the capability required for presenting the AR content if the user terminal does not have the capability required for presenting the AR content. The present invention may be applied to a mobile user terminal, such as a cell phone and a laptop personal computer.
