AR View Activation via Sensor Policy Evaluation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality systems fail to automatically activate beneficial augmented reality views when optical and sensor images satisfy specific activation criteria, such as low visibility or detected threats, leading to a lack of essential information for users navigating challenging environments.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus comprising a camera, sensor, and processor that determines if optical and sensor images meet an activation policy, automatically activating an augmented reality view including sensor data when criteria like low visibility, hidden objects, or user stress are detected, providing users with critical navigation information.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If augmented reality views are automatically activated based on activation policies, then users receive essential information in challenging environments, but system complexity increases due to policy evaluation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes activation policies that define specific conditions (low visibility, detected threats, hidden objects) under which augmented reality views should be activated. These policies are configured in advance, allowing the processor to automatically evaluate current sensor data against predefined criteria and trigger appropriate views without requiring complex real-time decision-making algorithms.
2Measurement precision
If multiple sensor types are integrated for comprehensive environmental assessment, then detection accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple sensor types (camera, microphone, radar, lidar, infrared sensors) into a unified sensor network that collectively assesses the environment. The processor combines data from these diverse sensors to evaluate activation policies, leveraging the complementary strengths of each sensor type to achieve comprehensive detection accuracy while managing complexity through integrated data processing.

AI summary
For augmented reality view activation, a processor determines if an optical image captured by the camera and a sensor image captured by the sensor satisfy an activation policy. In response to the activation policy being satisfied, the processor activates an augmented reality view that comprises the sensor image.
