Solution Overview

Problem

Augmented reality information in navigation systems can be cluttered and not user-specific, failing to provide relevant information based on individual user characteristics.

Innovation Solution

A method using dual cameras on a mobile device to acquire user-specific personal characteristics and location data, selecting and displaying relevant augmented reality information based on these characteristics, such as gender, age, or mood, to personalize the augmented reality experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If augmented reality information is displayed for all users at a location, then comprehensive information coverage is achieved, but information clutter increases and relevance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser-specific relevanceVSAvoidinformation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing augmented reality information display based on individual user characteristics such as gender, age, and preferences. Different users receive different subsets of information about the same location, making the information quality locally optimized for each user rather than uniformly applied to all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the augmented reality information based on user characteristics. The comprehensive information about a location is divided into multiple subsets, with each subset tailored to specific user profiles. This segmentation allows the system to present only the most relevant information to each user, reducing clutter while maintaining comprehensive coverage across all user groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If personalized augmented reality information is provided, then user engagement increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by detecting user characteristics (such as gender, age, and preferences) and using these parameters to select and filter augmented reality information. The system changes the display parameters based on detected user attributes, enabling personalization without requiring complex individual user profiles or extensive customization interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by automatically detecting user characteristics and selecting appropriate augmented reality information without requiring manual user input or configuration. The system performs the personalization automatically based on observed user attributes, reducing the complexity of user interaction while maintaining high engagement through relevant content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method is provided, such as for mobile augmented reality personalization. A front-facing camera of the mobile device acquires a first view of a user of the mobile device. A personal characteristic of the user of the mobile device is identified from the first view. A location of the mobile device may be determined. A back- facing camera of the mobile device may acquire a second view of a region at the location. Augmented reality information is selected as a function of the personal characteristic. A second view is displayed with the augmented reality information.
