Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for augmented reality (AR) devices lack an efficient method to determine and display relevant content based on user interactions with objects in real-time.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that detects objects in images received from an AR device, obtains interaction histories based on user identifiers and positions, and instructs the AR device to display selected content from a plurality of pieces based on the interaction history.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If AR devices display multiple pieces of content simultaneously, then the quantity of information provided increases, but the user's ability to focus on and process relevant information decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of contentVSAvoiduser focus and information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dynamically adjusting content characteristics based on user interaction context. Different content pieces are highlighted or emphasized differently according to user preferences, interaction history, and contextual factors, making the information presentation non-uniform and adapted to individual user needs, thereby improving focus despite multiple content elements being present

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If the system stores and processes extensive interaction history data, then the personalization accuracy improves, but the data processing complexity and storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and processes only the most relevant interaction data points from the extensive interaction history. By identifying and focusing on key interaction patterns, user preferences, and contextual signals rather than processing all historical data uniformly, the system achieves high personalization accuracy while reducing processing complexity and computational overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of time

If the AR device provides real-time content updates based on user interactions, then the timeliness and relevance of information improves, but the system response time and processing speed requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation timelinessVSAvoidsystem response speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing and indexing interaction data, content metadata, and user profiles in advance. The system prepares content recommendations and updates in advance based on predicted user needs and interaction patterns, enabling rapid real-time responses without requiring complex computations at the moment of user interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to detect an object in an image received from an augmented reality (AR) device. The instructions may be configured to acquire, on the basis of the location of a user and a user identifier received from the AR device, an interaction history of interactions, between the user and the detected object, for acquiring information about the detected object. The instructions may be configured to instruct the AR device to display, on the basis of the acquired interaction history, a piece of content selected from among a plurality of pieces of content about the object.
