Selective AR Element Presentation via Relevance Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Augmented reality (AR) user interfaces often overwhelm users with numerous virtual elements superimposed on real-world environments, consuming excessive computing resources and leading to a poor user experience due to the need to process and display information for multiple objects.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for selective presentation of AR elements, where an AR device identifies objects and their amounts in an environment, transmits this information to a selection system, which discards less relevant objects based on historical user data and comparison pricing, and generates an AR user interface with only the most relevant and competitively priced items, reducing computational load and enhancing user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all detected objects are presented as AR elements, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and computing resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the most relevant objects from the complete set of detected objects for AR element presentation. The server selects a subset of objects based on relevance criteria, extracting only necessary information for display while discarding less important objects, thereby reducing computing resources while maintaining essential information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different quality levels of information presentation to different objects based on their relevance. High-relevance objects receive detailed AR elements with comprehensive information, while lower-relevance objects receive simplified or no AR elements, creating local quality variation that optimizes computing resource allocation.
2Loss of information
If all detected objects are presented as AR elements, then information completeness is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to overwhelming information
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and presents only the most relevant objects to users, filtering out less important information. This selective extraction prevents information overload while maintaining the essential complete information needed for user decision-making, thereby improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different objects are presented with varying levels of detail and prominence based on their relevance to the user's current context. This local quality differentiation helps users focus on important information while reducing the perceived complexity of the overall interface.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive object information is processed, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity decreases due to excessive processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the object processing task into two phases: initial detection phase that identifies all objects with basic accuracy, and selective refinement phase that processes only relevant objects in detail. This segmentation maintains measurement precision for important objects while improving overall processing speed by avoiding exhaustive processing of all objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs partial processing on the complete set of objects by applying comprehensive analysis only to relevant objects identified in a preliminary screening. This partial action approach maintains high measurement precision where needed while significantly reducing total processing time.
Data Source
AI summary
In some implementations, a device may receive from an augmented reality (AR) device, object information identifying respective identities of a plurality of objects in an environment of the AR device. The device may select at least one object of the plurality of objects identified by the object information, and discard one or more objects of the plurality of objects identified by the object information, based on at least one of: historical data associated with a user of the AR device or comparison data that identifies amounts associated with objects in connection with at least one entity. The device may determine presentation information for the at least one object, based on the comparison data. The device may transmit, to the AR device, the presentation information for generation of an AR user interface including the AR element based on the presentation information.
