Solution Overview

Problem

AR translation processes require significant computing resources and often result in translation result display jams due to real-time frame-by-frame translation, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

An AR translation processing method that detects pose changes and feature similarities between consecutive frames to determine if text needs to be fully, partially, or not translated, optimizing translation triggers and reducing redundant processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If real-time frame-by-frame translation is performed for each acquired image, then translation results are displayed continuously, but computing resources are consumed excessively and translation efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation efficiencyVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic action by using pose change detection to trigger translation processing only when necessary. Instead of continuous frame-by-frame translation, the system periodically checks pose changes and performs translation only when the pose change exceeds a threshold, converting continuous processing into discrete periodic operations that reduce computing resource consumption while maintaining translation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a pose threshold parameter that controls when translation should be triggered. By monitoring pose parameters (position and orientation changes) and comparing them against a threshold, the system dynamically determines whether translation processing is needed, optimizing the balance between translation efficiency and computing resource usage based on actual scene changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If real-time frame-by-frame translation is performed for each acquired image, then translation results are displayed continuously, but display jams occur affecting user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidtranslation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates display jams by replacing continuous translation with periodic translation triggered by pose changes. The system waits for pose changes exceeding a threshold before initiating translation, creating a rhythm of processing that prevents the system from becoming overwhelmed and causing display jams, thereby improving both user experience and translation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using pose detection results to control the translation process. The system continuously monitors pose changes and uses this feedback information to decide when to trigger translation, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to scene changes and prevents display jams by only processing when necessary

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If translation is performed for every frame, then all text is translated, but redundant translation occurs wasting computing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation completenessVSAvoidtranslation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes (pose threshold) to control translation triggering, ensuring translation is performed when scene changes indicate new text may be present while avoiding redundant translation when the scene is stable, thus maintaining translation completeness without wasting computing resources on redundant processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by performing translation only when pose changes exceed a threshold, rather than translating every frame. This selective approach translates only when necessary (partial action), avoiding excessive translation of unchanged content while maintaining reliability by triggering translation when scene changes suggest new text appears

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Provided are an AR translation processing method and an electronic device, which relate to the technical field of communications. By the method, in a scenario in which an electronic device is used for AR translation, a pose change of the electronic device can be detected in real time, and feature matching can be performed on a plurality of consecutive frames of images acquired by a camera, so that whether to-be-translated text needs to be fully translated or partially translated, or needs not to be translated can be determined based on the pose change of the electronic device and a feature matching result, and therefore a corresponding translation trigger strategy is selected. In this way, repeated translation can be effectively avoided, thereby saving computing resources in the AR translation process and improving the translation efficiency to a particular extent.
