Augmented Reality Server Controlling Virtual Object State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Augmented reality (AR) systems lack the ability to provide users with controllable virtual objects that can be interacted with in a meaningful way, leading to reduced user engagement and interest.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer readable medium and system that includes an augmented reality processing program enabling a server to output display data for a controllable virtual object in a real space and control its operations, movements, and state changes based on user input, utilizing a communication network, user terminal, and display device to create an immersive AR experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AR systems display virtual objects in superimposed manner on real space, then user engagement is improved, but user interest is reduced due to lack of controllability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the virtual object dynamic by enabling user control over its operations, movements, and state changes. The controllable object control unit responds to operation inputs from users, allowing real-time modification of the virtual object's behavior, position, and properties, transforming it from a static display element to an interactive entity that adapts to user actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by detecting user operation inputs and immediately reflecting the effects of these inputs on the controllable virtual object. The controllable object control unit processes user commands and adjusts the object's state accordingly, creating a closed-loop interaction where user actions produce visible consequences, thereby enhancing user interest and engagement.
2Device complexity
If AR systems provide only display functionality, then system complexity is reduced, but user interaction capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functionality by integrating both display and control functions within the AR system. The server not only outputs display data for virtual objects but also processes operation inputs and controls the behavior of controllable objects. This universal approach allows a single system to serve multiple purposes: displaying information and enabling interactive control, thereby enhancing user interaction capability without requiring separate specialized systems.
