AR Sphere Content Superposition via Marker Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality (AR) systems lack the ability to dynamically and effectively display various contents in a region corresponding to a subject in a photographed image, limiting user engagement and interaction.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable media program that recognizes a sphere with markers and displays content images superimposed on the sphere, allowing for real-time changes based on time information and user interaction, enabling multiple content images to be displayed in a circular region covering the entire sphere.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional AR systems display content on photographed images, then basic AR functionality is achieved, but the ability to dynamically display various contents in a region corresponding to a subject is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the content display area into a specific circular region corresponding to the photographed sphere, separating it from the rest of the photographed image. This allows independent control and dynamic display of various contents within the defined region without affecting the entire image processing system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables a single AR platform to display multiple types of contents (images, videos, information) in the spherical region, making it universally applicable for various AR applications while maintaining a unified processing framework.
2Loss of information
If multiple content images are displayed on the sphere, then user engagement is enhanced, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the spherical geometry as an additional spatial dimension for content organization. Multiple content images are arranged and displayed on the curved surface of the sphere, allowing comprehensive information presentation while leveraging the three-dimensional space efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts and updates multiple content images on the sphere in real-time based on user interaction and time information, enabling flexible content management without requiring complex reprocessing of the entire AR system.
3Ease of operation
If real-time content updates are implemented, then user interaction is improved, but processing time and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary processing and preparation of content images before they are displayed on the sphere. By pre-processing content and maintaining it in a ready state, the system enables rapid real-time updates without requiring extensive processing time during user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes copied and cached versions of content images that can be quickly deployed to the spherical display region. Instead of processing original high-resolution images in real-time, pre-copied versions are used for immediate display, reducing processing time while maintaining visual quality.

AI summary
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a computer readable media including program instructions for displaying various contents in a superimposed manner in a region corresponding to a subject in a photographed image.An information processing apparatus obtains a photographed image by photographing a subject of an earth ball having a marker on a surface thereof. The information processing apparatus recognizes, based on the marker, the earth ball in the photographed image thus obtained. The information processing apparatus displays, on the recognized earth ball in the photographed image, a content image in such a manner as to cover the whole region of the earth ball.
