AR Navigation to Moving Targets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current navigation systems are inadequate for directing users to moving targets in augmented reality environments, as they lack the ability to optimize routes based on the dynamic locations and movements of multiple moving targets, leading to inefficiencies and increased energy expenditure.
Innovation Solution
A computer system that accesses and analyzes the locations of multiple moving targets within an augmented reality environment, calculates optimized courses for users to intersect with these targets, and outputs these routes in real-time, utilizing GPS, indoor positioning systems, and cognitive computing to predict future target locations and minimize delays and energy consumption.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If current navigation systems are used to direct users to moving targets, then basic routing functionality is provided, but the systems cannot optimize routes based on dynamic target movements, leading to increased user delay and energy expenditure
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation system dynamically adjusts the routing course in real-time based on the moving target's current location and predicted future positions. The system continuously updates the optimized course as the target moves, rather than providing a static route plan, enabling the user to efficiently intercept the moving target while minimizing delay and energy expenditure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If current navigation systems provide static routing to fixed addresses, then simple point-to-point navigation is achieved, but the systems cannot account for multiple moving targets or predict future locations, resulting in suboptimal routing decisions
Solution Approach 1:
The system predicts future locations of the moving target based on its current trajectory and movement patterns. By calculating where the target will be at future time points, the system can proactively determine the optimal intercept point and routing course, rather than reactively adjusting to the target's current position alone. This preliminary action enables more accurate and efficient navigation to moving targets.

AI summary
A moving target service accesses locations of moving targets each carrying a separate device accessing an augmented reality environment through an augmented reality service, the augmented reality environment comprising one or more moving virtual targets, the one or more moving virtual targets only accessible within the augmented reality environment when each device is physically present at one or more particular locations within a real world environment. The moving target service identifies a selection of the moving targets of a density within a region exceeding a density threshold. The moving target service calculates at least one optimized course for a user to follow within the real world environment to intersect with one or more of the selection of moving targets in the region to access the moving virtual target through the augmented reality service on a separate device accessible to the user. The moving target service outputs the at least one optimized course to a display interface of the augmented reality environment on the separate device accessible to the user.
