AR Tile Mapping for Precise Location-Based Content Delivery
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality (AR) technologies fail to consider the varying views of interest and AR content densities within an area, failing to segment areas into clusters based on viewable content.
Innovation Solution
A content management system that includes a content management engine coupled with an area database and a content database, which derives views of interest and establishes AR experience clusters within an initial map, generating a tessellated tile map to provide precise AR content based on location and object recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If AR content is provided based on general location identification, then users can receive location-based AR content, but the system cannot differentiate between sub-areas based on AR content densities
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides a geographic area into multiple tiles, where each tile represents a specific sub-area with distinct AR content characteristics. This segmentation enables the system to differentiate between sub-areas and deliver appropriate AR content based on the user's precise location within the tiled structure, resolving the contradiction between location precision and area segmentation capability.
2Measurement precision
If the system segments area into clusters based on viewable content, then AR content delivery becomes more precise, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The content management system performs multiple functions: it generates the tile map structure, identifies user location within tiles, determines viewable content based on device orientation and location, and delivers appropriate AR content. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional system, the patent achieves precise AR content delivery without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides AR content based on multiple parameters (location, object recognition, views of interest), then the AR experience is enhanced, but the computational requirements and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates a tile map structure that organizes AR content by geographic location and viewable content characteristics. By preparing this spatial index in advance, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time computations when delivering AR content. The pre-organized tile map allows for rapid content retrieval and delivery based on user location and device orientation, enhancing AR experience quality while minimizing processing time.

AI summary
Apparatus, methods and systems of providing AR content are disclosed. Embodiments of the inventive subject matter can obtain an initial map of an area, derive views of interest, obtain AR content objects associated with the views of interest, establish experience clusters and generate a tile map tessellated based on the experience clusters. A user device could be configured to obtain and instantiate at least some of the AR content objects based on at least one of a location and a recognition.
