AR Pickup Guidance Using 3D Location Overlays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional transportation systems often fail to provide detailed and accurate information for pickup and drop-off processes, leading to inefficiencies and confusion for both passengers and drivers due to complex urban environments and unpredictable behavior of pedestrians and other road users.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality transportation system that utilizes historical data to generate three-dimensional virtual objects to guide passengers and drivers through pickup and drop-off processes, providing precise location markers and navigation instructions via augmented reality devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If simplified map information is provided to users, then the system is easy to operate, but the information precision and detail are insufficient for complex urban environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional map representations to three-dimensional augmented reality overlays that directly superimpose pickup and drop-off locations onto the user's real-world view. This dimensional change provides precise location information while maintaining ease of operation, as users can see exact pickup/drop-off points in their actual environment without interpreting complex map data.
2Measurement precision
If detailed real-world navigation information is provided, then the information precision improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality intermediary layer that translates complex navigation data into simple visual overlays showing pickup and drop-off locations. This intermediary process handles the complexity of route calculation and location precision internally while presenting simplified visual information to users, thereby achieving high precision without increasing perceived system complexity.
3Productivity
If conventional map-based information is provided, then the device complexity is low, but the productivity and efficiency of pickup/drop-off processes decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating optimal pickup and drop-off locations and pre-rendering augmented reality visual elements before the user arrives at the destination. This preliminary preparation enables immediate and efficient pickup/drop-off operations when users arrive, as the navigation system has already processed complex route information and prepared visual guides in advance.
