Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality technologies cannot control the actions or movements of virtual objects based on the colors or patterns used to color their corresponding flat images, resulting in identical actions for objects with different colorings.

Innovation Solution

A method is developed to create a database of action sequences correlated with specific colors or patterns, where a user device captures and recognizes the colors or patterns of a flat image, activating corresponding actions in the virtual object, allowing for varied actions based on color combinations, patterns, or real-world object recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the augmented reality object is painted in colors corresponding to a painted plane image, then the visual appearance of the object is improved, but the ability to control actions or movements based on color or pattern is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual appearanceVSAvoidcontrol capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a database containing multiple sequences of actions that correspond to different colors and patterns before the coloring process. When the user colors the flat image, the system matches the detected colors/patterns against this pre-prepared database to activate the corresponding action sequence, enabling control capability without compromising visual appearance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the colors and patterns detected from the painted flat image are analyzed and used to select appropriate action sequences. The device continuously monitors the colored image, determines the dominant colors and patterns, and activates corresponding virtual object behaviors, creating a closed-loop control system that restores adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If a database of action sequences is created and correlated with specific colors or patterns, then the control capability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the control capability into discrete action sequences, each associated with specific color ranges or patterns. Instead of implementing a complex continuous control system, the patent divides the action space into separate, manageable sequences that can be independently stored in a database and activated based on color/pattern detection results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses color and pattern information from the painted flat image as a copy or representation to trigger corresponding actions. Rather than directly controlling the virtual object through complex real-time analysis, the system creates a simplified representation (color/pattern identification) that maps to pre-defined action sequences, reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present invention relates to methods for interacting with virtual objects comprising placing an flat image of an augmented reality object in the field of view of the video camera of the device for creating and viewing virtual objects of augmented reality, determining colors and recognizing patterns on the images received from the video camera device to create and view objects of augmented reality. Coloring the augmented reality object in accordance with the colors defined on the painted image obtained from camera devices. A correspondence is established between the patterns and colors of the painted image and actions of the augmented reality objects, depending on the color, color combination, pattern or colored pattern in the images obtained from the video camera of the device for creating and viewing the augmented reality objects.
