Solution Overview

Problem

Current augmented reality technologies face challenges in seamlessly integrating online virtual resource allocation and management with offline image scanning operations, limiting user experience and efficiency in managing virtual resources in real-world environments.

Innovation Solution

An offline interaction method and apparatus based on augmented reality that allows users to upload consumption data to an AR server, allocate virtual resources, and perform image scanning to receive and display virtual data related to these resources, enabling effective online-offline interaction and management of virtual resources through image recognition and augmented display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If augmented reality technology is used to integrate virtual world with real world, then user interaction experience is improved, but the integration of online virtual resource allocation with offline image scanning operations is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction experienceVSAvoidintegration of online-offline operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges online virtual resource allocation operations with offline image scanning operations into a unified augmented reality system. The server allocates virtual resources based on consumption data while the client device performs image scanning in offline environments, and these two previously separate operations are now integrated through the AR platform, allowing seamless transition between online and offline interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The augmented reality system is designed to perform multiple functions: it can allocate virtual resources online, scan images offline, recognize identifiers, and deliver virtual data. This multi-functional platform replaces the need for separate systems for online resource management and offline image scanning, enabling the system to adapt to different operational contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If image scanning operation is performed in offline environment, then virtual resources can be accessed, but seamless integration with online resource allocation is challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to virtual resourcesVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary between the offline image scanning operation and the online virtual resource allocation system. When the client device scans an image and identifies a predetermined identifier, it sends a request to the server, which then allocates virtual resources and delivers the corresponding virtual data back to the client. This intermediary mechanism bridges the offline and online operations without requiring complex direct integration between client components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If virtual resources are allocated based on consumption data, then resource management is improved, but the system requires complex coordination between online and offline operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary allocation of virtual resources based on consumption data before the offline image scanning operation occurs. This allows the system to pre-process resource allocation logic, so that when the image is scanned and identifier is recognized, the virtual resources are already prepared and can be quickly delivered, reducing the coordination complexity during the actual offline interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Augmented reality interaction is described, combining online virtual resource allocation and management with consumption and image scanning operations of a user at a target place. Consumption data of a user is obtained. A quantity of virtual resources corresponding to the user are allocated to the user based on a consumption amount, and then accumulated. A determination is made whether a predetermined identifier corresponding to the target place is identified from image information of a scanned real-world image obtained through image scanning. Virtual data related to the virtual resources in the virtual resource pool is delivered from the augmented reality server to the augmented reality client device. The augmented reality client device is configured to perform augmented display of the related virtual data by overlaying and combining the virtual data with the image information at a location corresponding to the predetermined identifier in the scanned real-world image.
