Identification Tag System for AR Content Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital content storage and sharing methods are cumbersome, expensive, and lack control over access and privacy, leading to issues with storage space management and intellectual property misappropriation.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that captures digital content, generates an identification tag, uploads it to a server, and allows users to scan the tag to access the content on a client device, enabling efficient storage, sharing, and control over access through a networked system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If digital content is stored locally on a user's device, then access speed and availability are improved, but storage space is consumed and users must constantly monitor space availability
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments digital content into two parts: identification metadata (stored locally in identification tags) and actual content data (stored remotely on servers). This allows fast local access to content identification and retrieval while avoiding local storage of large content files, thus resolving the contradiction between access speed and storage space consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary identification tag system that mediates between local device storage and remote content storage. The identification tag contains minimal metadata that locally enables content identification and retrieval, while the actual content resides on remote servers, eliminating the need for large local storage while maintaining fast access.
2Quantity of substance
If digital content is uploaded to a digital file hosting repository or social media platform, then storage space burden is reduced, but access time increases due to streaming or downloading requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-generating and storing identification tags that contain all necessary metadata and retrieval information. When content needs to be accessed, the identification tag is already available locally, enabling immediate content retrieval without waiting for streaming or downloading, thus reducing access time while maintaining reduced storage space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical streaming/downloading system with an identification-based retrieval system. Instead of transferring large amounts of data through network streaming, the system uses compact identification tags that enable direct content retrieval, substituting the data transfer mechanism with a metadata-based access mechanism that is both faster and more efficient.
3Reliability
If digital content is stored locally, then control over access and privacy is maintained, but storage space is consumed and content management becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential access control information into identification tags that are stored locally, while the actual content management is handled by remote servers. This extraction allows users to maintain control over access permissions through compact identification tags without bearing the burden of managing large content files locally, thus maintaining reliability while reducing device complexity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If users share digital content through traditional methods, then content accessibility is improved, but intellectual property protection is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses identification tags as simplified copies that contain only metadata and retrieval information, not the actual content. Users can share these lightweight identification tags freely for content accessibility, while the original content remains protected on secure servers with controlled access permissions, thus achieving both versatility and intellectual property protection.
