AR Overlay for Immersive Information Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information display methods in augmented reality lack immersive engagement, leading to short user interaction times due to monotonous display formats and insufficient integration of real and virtual environments.
Innovation Solution
An information display method that generates and overlays augmented reality (AR) images on real-world environments using a terminal's camera, combining target information with actual images to create interactive and engaging AR elements for enhanced user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If traditional information display methods are used with control lists and separate players, then information can be displayed and processed, but user engagement is low and interaction time is short due to monotonous display formats
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the information display function with the camera interface by overlaying AR elements directly onto the captured real-world image. Instead of showing separate control lists and then opening players for video or browser for text, the system combines all information types into a single integrated AR display that appears within the camera view, making the display format more engaging and immersive.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D screen-based display to 3D spatial display by rendering AR elements at different depths and positions within the camera captured scene. Information is displayed in multiple dimensions simultaneously - text, images, and videos are overlaid at different spatial layers, creating an immersive experience that increases user engagement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If information is displayed using separate players and browsers, then information processing is straightforward, but the integration of real and virtual environments is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple information processing functions (video playback, text rendering, image display) into a single unified AR display system that operates within the camera interface. This integration approach increases adaptability by allowing any information type to be displayed in the same interface without requiring separate applications or players.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces AR elements as intermediary objects that serve as bridges between the real camera captured environment and the virtual information content. These AR elements can be text, images, or videos that are overlaid onto the real-world scene, creating a seamless integration that feels natural to the user while maintaining system manageability.
3Ease of operation
If traditional control lists are displayed on the user interface, then information can be accessed, but the display is monotonous and does not engage users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs visual variety in AR element rendering, including different colors, transparency levels, and animation effects for different types of information. Text, images, and videos are rendered with distinct visual characteristics that make them engaging and easy to differentiate, replacing the monotonous control list appearance with dynamic, visually appealing AR elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the information display dynamic by allowing AR elements to move, change size, and transform based on user interaction and camera movement. Instead of static control lists, the AR elements can animate, follow the camera view, and adapt their appearance based on the type of information being displayed, significantly increasing user engagement.

AI summary
An information display method, including: obtaining target information and an actual image when an information display signal is received, the actual image being an image obtained by photographing a real environment by using a camera; generating an augmented reality (AR) image according to the target information and the actual image; and displaying the AR image in a user interface, an AR element in the AR image being used for displaying the target information. In this application, an AR image is generated according to the obtained target information and actual image, and the AR image is displayed on a user interface, where the AR image includes an AR element configured to display the target information.
