Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies provide fixed, pre-designed virtual models that fail to meet diverse user needs, affecting user willingness and experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that generate a virtual image of a target object based on its real-time head image, allowing for dynamic customization and interaction, such as adding limbs or wearing objects that can perform actions, and display this image in the real-time scene using augmented reality technology.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If fixed pre-designed virtual models are used in AR, then the implementation is simple, but the adaptability to diverse user needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to user needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic virtual models that can change their appearance and characteristics in real-time based on user interaction and environmental context. The virtual model transitions from a static pre-designed state to a dynamic state where it can adapt its properties (such as adding limbs, changing expressions, or modifying appearance) during operation, thereby resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and adaptability to diverse user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic customizable virtual images are generated, then the adaptability to user needs is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomizability of virtual contentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the virtual model into multiple independent components or modules (such as head, body, limbs, accessories) that can be independently controlled and modified. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high adaptability by combining and reconfiguring these modular elements without requiring complete redesign of the entire virtual model, thereby managing device complexity while maintaining customizability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent pre-prepares a library of model components, templates, and configuration options that can be rapidly assembled and customized during runtime. By performing preliminary preparation of these elements beforehand, the system reduces the computational complexity and processing requirements during actual operation, enabling dynamic customization without excessive device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display method based on augmented reality, a device, a storage medium, and a program product, a real-time scene image is acquired, then a head image of a target object is acquired from the real-time scene image if the real-time scene image includes a face image of the target object, where the head image of the target object includes the face image of the target object; a virtual image of the target object is generated according to the head image; and the virtual image of the target object is displayed in the real-time scene image based on an augmented reality display technology. In the present embodiment, a virtual image of a target object is generated by acquiring a head image of the target object, which may avoid the problem that the virtual image needs to be pre-designed and the image is fixed and single, and meets the diverse needs of users, improves the user's willingness and experience to use the augmented reality technology by displaying the virtual image at a target position in a real-time scene image through the augmented reality technology.
