Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality (AR) systems are limited in their ability to present computer-generated elements associated with reservation information, lack interactivity, and fail to enable users to engage with these elements effectively, leading to a less immersive experience.

Innovation Solution

An AR system that utilizes an AR computing device to receive image and geolocation data, process it using object recognition, transmit reservation requests via an API, and generate and display AR content, including reservation data, on a display device, enabling users to interact with computer-generated elements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If AR systems use basic display methods, then device complexity is reduced, but user engagement and interactivity are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the AR content delivery into distinct functional modules: object recognition module, reservation data retrieval module, and interactive display module. This allows complex functionality to be achieved through coordinated simple components, improving user engagement without requiring monolithic system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary computing system that bridges the AR display device and reservation databases. This mediator handles complex data retrieval and processing, enabling rich interactive AR content while keeping the AR display device itself relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If AR systems integrate real-time data retrieval and processing, then information completeness is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing communication channels with reservation databases and pre-processing object recognition models. When a user queries AR content, the system can rapidly retrieve pre-prepared data, ensuring information completeness without significant processing delays

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous data streaming and real-time updates for AR content. Once data retrieval is initiated, the system maintains continuous communication channels open, allowing seamless data flow without repeated connection handshakes, thus reducing processing time while maintaining complete information delivery

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Ease of operation

If AR systems provide comprehensive reservation information, then user engagement is enhanced, but data transmission complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddata transmission complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring AR content delivery to specific user contexts and device capabilities. Different levels of reservation information are transmitted based on user preferences, device performance, and network conditions, enhancing engagement for each user while managing transmission complexity adaptively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes transmission parameters such as data format, resolution, and bandwidth allocation based on user engagement metrics and system load. This allows comprehensive reservation information to be delivered when needed while reducing transmission complexity during high-load periods or for casual users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
