AR Remote Control Notification for IoT Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to accurately determine whether an IoT device can be remotely controlled within a displayed screen, making it difficult for users to identify and interact with remotely controllable devices during augmented reality-based instruction.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that acquires images of IoT devices, determines which devices are remotely controllable through image recognition, and displays a remote control status using augmented reality, allowing users to visually confirm and interact with the devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If augmented reality is used to display instructing content on wearable terminals, then the ease of operation is improved, but the ability to accurately determine and identify remotely controllable IoT devices deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification unit displays the determined remotely controllable IoT device with a specific color or visual indicator in the augmented reality overlay, enabling the user to quickly identify which device can be controlled. This visual differentiation resolves the contradiction by maintaining ease of AR operation while improving device identification accuracy through color-coded feedback.
2Measurement precision
If image recognition is performed to determine remotely controllable devices, then the determination accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary determination unit that acts as a mediator between image capture and device control. This unit processes image data to identify IoT devices and their controllability status, then communicates findings to the notification unit. The intermediary approach maintains high determination accuracy while managing system complexity through modular architecture.
3Loss of information
If the system displays status information for all detected devices, then the completeness of information is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The notification unit extracts and displays only the critical information - specifically which IoT device is remotely controllable - from the full set of detected devices. By filtering out non-essential information and focusing only on the controllable device status, the system maintains information completeness for decision-making while improving ease of operation through reduced visual clutter.

AI summary
Provided are a computer system, a remote control notification method and a program. This computer system acquires an image of an IoT device, determines, from the acquired image, the IoT device which is capable of being remotely controlled by a user who visually confirms the image, and, in a position where the image of the IoT device determined to be remotely controllable is captured, displays with augmented reality that remote control is possible. Further, the computer system pre-stores images of the remotely controllable IoT device, and, on the basis of the pre-stored images of the IoT device, determines that the IoT device is remotely controllable through image recognition which involves comparing the pre-stored images with the acquired image.
