AR Terminal Object Recognition and Secure Data Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current Augmented Reality (AR) techniques do not effectively provide additional information associated with photographed objects in the real world, limiting their practical utilization when a user photographs the outside environment.
Innovation Solution
A terminal apparatus and additional information managing system that acquires and stores additional information corresponding to recognized objects within photographed images, using feature information to match objects with associated data and transmit this information to a terminal for augmented reality display, including user and apparatus identification for secure storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If additional information is displayed as augmented reality when photographing the outside world, then user interaction and utility are enhanced, but safety and security control mechanisms are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an additional information managing apparatus as an intermediary between the photographing terminal and the additional information sources. This mediator controls and manages the provision of additional information, implementing safety mechanisms including authentication based on user identification information and photographing apparatus identification information, thereby resolving the contradiction between utility enhancement and safety control
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the additional information managing apparatus receives photographing apparatus identification information and user identification information, verifies authentication status, and accordingly controls the provision of additional information. This feedback loop ensures security while maintaining utility
2Reliability
If additional information is stored in relation to user identification information or photographing apparatus identification information, then security and authorization are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex security management functions from the terminal apparatus and places them in a separate additional information managing apparatus. This extraction centralizes the security control logic, authentication mechanisms, and information management operations in a dedicated system, reducing the complexity burden on individual terminals while maintaining robust security
Solution Approach 2:
The additional information managing apparatus serves multiple functions: it manages authentication for multiple users, handles various types of additional information, supports different photographing apparatuses, and provides security control. This multi-functional design consolidates complexity into a single universal system rather than duplicating security mechanisms across multiple terminals
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided a terminal apparatus including: a photographing portion configured to photograph a subject which is present in a reality space; an additional information acquiring portion configured to acquire additional information which is made to correspond to an object an image of which is recognized within a photographed image; and an additional information storing portion configured to store therein the acquired additional information in relation to either user identification information or photographing apparatus identification information.
