Personalized AR Overlay via Preference-Based Image Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Augmented reality services often provide limited and repetitive information, leading to user disinterest due to the lack of personalization based on user preferences and location-specific content.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a camera, display, memory, and processor that captures images, determines user preferences, and overlays relevant additional information based on captured images and live views, providing personalized AR experiences by associating images with categories and preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the same additional information is provided to all electronic devices at the same location, then the service is easy to implement, but the user interest is lost due to lack of personalization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the additional information into multiple categories (e.g., first category and second category) and selectively provides different categories to different users based on their preferences. This allows the service to be personalized without requiring complete customization of all information, balancing ease of implementation with personalization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-collecting user preference information and pre-categorizing additional information before providing the AR service. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and display personalized information without complex real-time processing, maintaining ease of implementation while achieving personalization.
2Device complexity
If limited additional information is provided based on location, then the service is simple to provide, but the variety and relevance of information is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments additional information into multiple categories and selectively provides relevant categories to users based on their preferences. This approach increases the variety of information provided without requiring the system to manage and process all possible information types simultaneously, thus maintaining service simplicity while expanding information variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different types of additional information to different users at the same location based on their individual preferences. Each user receives information tailored to their specific interests, increasing the relevance and variety of information without requiring a complete overhaul of the service structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If personalized additional information is provided based on user preferences, then user engagement is enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces processing complexity by performing preliminary actions: collecting user preference information and categorizing additional information in advance. This pre-processing allows the system to quickly retrieve and display personalized information without complex real-time analysis, maintaining high personalization levels while keeping processing requirements manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments both user preferences and additional information into discrete categories, making it easier to match and retrieve relevant information. This segmentation simplifies the processing logic compared to handling unstructured data, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining adaptability.
