AR Content Management for Sphere Markers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional Augmented Reality (AR) systems limit content display on photographed images to those provided by a single trader, restricting user flexibility in selecting and customizing the content.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable media and program instructions that enable users to select and set display images on a sphere with an AR marker, transmit the selected images and associated location information, allowing users to freely choose and share content, with a server storing and managing user-specific content and settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If content is limited to those provided by a single trader, then system complexity is reduced, but user flexibility and adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments content management by separating trader-provided content from user-created content. Users can independently create and manage their own display images and information without affecting the overall system structure, thereby increasing flexibility while maintaining system simplicity through modular content organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The AR system is designed to handle multiple types of content sources (trader-provided and user-created) through a unified processing framework. The terminal device can universally process different content types using the same AR marker recognition and superimposition mechanisms, achieving versatility without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users can freely set content, then adaptability improves, but information security and content management complexity worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where user-created content is associated with user IDs and location information, allowing the server to track and manage content sources. This feedback loop enables security management while preserving user freedom to create and share content within the AR system.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between users and the AR system, mediating content transmission and storage. Users freely create content locally, but the server manages the transmission, association with location data, and distribution, thereby maintaining information security while enabling content customization freedom.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users can share content, then system versatility improves, but device complexity and data management worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copying mechanisms where user-created content is transmitted as data to other terminals through the server. Instead of complex peer-to-peer synchronization, content is copied and redistributed via the centralized server, simplifying data management while enabling widespread content sharing across multiple users.
Data Source
AI summary
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a program enabling a user to freely set a content. An information processing program causes a computer to execute processing for: accepting selection of a display image to be displayed in a superimposed manner on a photographed image of a sphere having a marker on a surface thereof; obtaining location information corresponding to the display image; and transmitting the accepted display image and the obtained location information in association with a user ID. Thus, each user can freely set a content.
