AR Rights Management via Automatic User Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current altered-reality (AR) applications lack effective solutions for managing user rights and privacy in a way that is both automated and transparent, particularly in environments where direct manipulation of user experiences is possible, leading to potential intrusiveness and the need for more implicit and user-friendly rights management.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically detecting the presence of other AR users and utilizing a rights management system to set and manage rights data based on preconfigured policies and trust relationships, allowing for implicit and automated management of authorizations and denials between users, thereby reducing the need for explicit prompts and maintaining confidentiality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If explicit rights management interfaces are used in AR applications, then user control over privacy rights is improved, but user experience intrusiveness worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically manages rights data by detecting user presence and autonomously setting appropriate rights levels based on preconfigured policies, eliminating the need for explicit user interactions while maintaining user control preferences
Solution Approach 2:
Users preconfigure their rights policies in advance, and the system automatically applies these pre-set rules when detecting other users, so the actual rights management decision is made beforehand and executed automatically without intrusive prompts
2Object-affected harmful factors
If automated rights management is implemented, then user experience intrusiveness is reduced, but rights management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A dedicated rights management system acts as an intermediary between AR applications and users, centralizing the complexity of automated rights management in a separate module that handles detection, policy evaluation, and rights setting without complicating the core AR application logic
3Measurement precision
If manual rights setting for each user interaction is required, then rights precision is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The rights management system automatically detects user presence and self-configures appropriate rights levels based on preconfigured policies and detected user characteristics, eliminating manual rights setting while maintaining precise, context-appropriate rights management
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user presence and characteristics, automatically adjusting rights data based on feedback from detection results and preconfigured policies, enabling precise rights management without manual intervention

AI summary
A method for setting rights in an altered-reality (AR) environment, the method comprising the following steps: routinely detecting by a first AR-enabling system of a first user the presence of a second user of a second AR-enabling system, within a physical environment of the first user; receiving by a rights management system (RMS) data featuring the second user when the second user is detected by the first AR-enabling system, said RMS configured for managing rights data respective at least to the first user and to the second user; based on the received data featuring the second user, obtaining by the RMS the rights data of the first user with respect to the second user; based on the obtained rights data of the first user with respect to the second user, setting the rights data of the second user with respect to the first user by the RMS.
