Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for users to interact and view information of other users in online systems are cumbersome, requiring access to specific interfaces and failing to establish a direct association between virtual and actual user information, making offline interactions difficult.

Innovation Solution

An information display method using augmented reality (AR) graphics that captures real-time images, determines user identifiers, retrieves corresponding user information, and generates AR data to overlay relevant information on the image in real-time, allowing users to view information without accessing individual interfaces and establishing a direct mapping between virtual and actual user data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users access a corresponding page to view user information, then user information can be obtained, but the operation process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information accessibilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that captures real-time images and automatically overlays user information (such as nicknames, tags, and comments) onto the images. This intermediary process eliminates the need for users to manually navigate to profile pages, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual copy of user information by extracting and displaying key profile data (nickname, tags, comments) directly on the real-time image. This copying approach allows users to view essential user information without accessing the actual profile page, simplifying the interaction process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If virtual network information is used to identify users, then user information can be displayed, but the mapping relationship with actual users cannot be established

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser information displayVSAvoidmapping relationship between virtual and actual user
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary image processing system that bridges virtual user information and actual users. By capturing real-time images of actual users and overlaying their virtual profile information (nickname, tags, comments) onto these images, the system creates a direct visual mapping between virtual network identities and physical individuals, enhancing reliability of user identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present disclosure describes techniques for identifying images of users in visual media data. One example method includes receiving visual media data from a client device, wherein the visual media data was captured in real time by the client device; detecting a presence of an image of a human in the visual media data; determining a user identification associated with the human based on the detected presence of the image of the human in the visual media data; retrieving data corresponding to the user based on the user identification; generating user graphics data based on the retrieved data corresponding to the user; and transmitting the user graphics data to the client device, wherein the client device is configured to display the user graphics data with the visual media data.
