Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional image display technologies restrict users' ability to change the viewing angle and associate content with their preferred time and space, offering limited personalization and flexibility.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a terminal device and server to associate augmented reality (AR) identifiers with images, allowing users to request and display AR images based on preset objects, using image recognition and matching degrees to determine object presence and generate AR content, thereby enhancing user interaction and personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional image display format is used, then display simplicity is maintained, but user flexibility and personalization are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibilityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between traditional image display mode and AR image display mode based on user selection. The terminal device can adaptively present information in different formats (traditional image or AR image) according to user preferences, making the display system flexible and adaptable without being permanently complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device is designed to support multiple display functions: it can display both traditional images and AR images, process both types of image data, and provide both viewing modes to users. This multi-functionality allows the system to improve adaptability while managing complexity through a unified platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If AR image display is implemented, then viewing angle freedom is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle freedomVSAvoidAR processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server pre-processes images and generates corresponding AR images in advance, storing both types of image data. When a user requests to view an image, the terminal device simply retrieves and displays the pre-prepared AR image data, avoiding the need for real-time AR processing and reducing the complexity of the terminal device's AR processing capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If image recognition is performed to identify preset objects, then AR content accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject recognition accuracyVSAvoidimage processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs image recognition and identifies preset objects in advance during the image processing stage. By pre-identifying objects and generating corresponding AR content before user requests, the system ensures accurate object recognition while minimizing the time users wait for AR content generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
