AR Goal Setter Object Recognition Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality technologies do not effectively display progress towards financial or non-financial goals in a visually engaging and user-friendly manner, requiring users to log into software applications for updates.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality device that receives an image of an object associated with a goal, uses optical recognition software to identify the object, and sends user identification to a server for information on goal progress, displaying a color or pattern overlay on the object to represent completion percentage, allowing users to view progress through verbal commands or activating actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users log into software applications to check goal progress, then accurate progress information can be obtained, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies objects using optical recognition software and retrieves goal progress information without requiring user login or manual input. The AR device performs self-service by capturing images, identifying objects, sending requests to servers, and displaying progress information automatically when the user points the device at the target object.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interaction of logging into software applications with optical recognition technology. The AR device uses optical recognition software to automatically identify objects and retrieve progress information, substituting the manual login process with automated optical identification and wireless data retrieval.
2Loss of information
If traditional display methods are used for goal progress, then information can be presented, but the visual engagement and user experience are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional screen displays to three-dimensional augmented reality overlays. Progress information is displayed directly on the physical object in the user's field of view through AR overlays, adding a spatial dimension to the information presentation and creating a more immersive and engaging experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses color-coded overlays to represent different levels of goal progress. The AR display applies color variations to visually indicate progress status, making the information more intuitive and engaging compared to traditional text-based or monochromatic displays.
3Reliability
If detailed goal tracking is implemented, then comprehensive progress monitoring is achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The AR device performs multiple functions through a unified system: optical recognition for object identification, wireless communication for data retrieval, and augmented reality display for information presentation. This multi-functional integration reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate specialized devices for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the AR device and the goal tracking database. The server handles complex data retrieval and processing, allowing the AR device to remain relatively simple while still achieving comprehensive progress tracking through the intermediary's support.

AI summary
A method implemented on an augmented reality (AR) device includes receiving an image of an object at the AR device. The image is displayed on a display screen of the AR device. One or more activating actions are received at the AR device. As a result of the one or more activating actions: the object is identified, an identity of the object is sent to a server computer, information is received from the server computer regarding a percentage of completion towards a goal relating to the object and a representation of the percentage of completion towards the goal relating to the object is visually displayed on the image of the object.
