AR Glasses Content Routing for In-Vehicle Privacy Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle audiovisual systems lack the ability to selectively display restricted content on separate devices, such as augmented-reality glasses, to prevent unauthorized viewing by occupants, particularly in crowded environments.
Innovation Solution
An augmented-reality system that uses image recognition to determine if a user is wearing AR glasses and reroutes restricted content to the glasses while displaying non-restricted content on a display screen, employing a computer with facial recognition and data encryption to manage content distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content is displayed on a shared display screen in a vehicle, then all occupants can view the content, but restricted information becomes accessible to unauthorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the content display across two different devices: a shared display screen for non-restricted content and augmented-reality glasses for restricted content. This physical segmentation ensures that restricted information is only visible to the authorized user wearing the AR glasses, while other occupants can only access non-restricted content on the shared screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (image recognition technology) that detects whether the authorized user is wearing the AR glasses before routing restricted content. This intermediary acts as a gatekeeper, automatically determining content distribution based on the detected state without requiring manual user input.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If restricted content is routed to augmented-reality glasses, then privacy and security are maintained, but system complexity increases due to multiple devices and recognition technology
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs a multi-functional architecture where the image recognition technology serves multiple purposes: it detects whether the user is wearing AR glasses, identifies the authorized user, and triggers the appropriate content routing. This universal approach reduces the need for separate dedicated systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the user's state through image recognition and autonomously routing content to the appropriate device without requiring manual user configuration or intervention. The system adapts its behavior based on real-time detection of the AR glasses wearing state.
3Extent of automation
If the system uses image recognition to detect AR glasses wearing status, then automated content routing is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of the AR glasses wearing state before content needs to be displayed. By continuously monitoring the user's state in advance and maintaining readiness to route content, the system minimizes delays when restricted content needs to be displayed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where the image recognition continuously monitors the user's state and automatically adjusts content routing based on real-time detection. This closed-loop feedback ensures that content is routed to the correct device without manual intervention while maintaining system responsiveness.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine that a user of a display screen is wearing augmented-reality glasses based on image data depicting the user and, in response to determining that the user is wearing the augmented-reality glasses and in response to identifying a portion of content for display by the display screen as including restricted data, display the portion with the augmented-reality glasses and omit the portion from displaying on the display screen. The display screen is separate from the augmented-reality glasses.
