AR Information Display System with Virtual Boards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems fail to effectively display public information associated with specific locations in real-time to users wearing head-mounted display devices, limiting the ability to share and view relevant information in virtual spaces superimposed on real environments.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a reception unit for receiving user identification and position information, and an instruction unit to display public information as a virtual image on head-mounted display devices, allowing users to view both virtual and real spaces simultaneously, with features like gesture detection and virtual camera image generation for accurate interest calculation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If public information is displayed in real-time at specific locations through head-mounted display devices, then user engagement and information accessibility are improved, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information display by creating virtual information boards at specific locations in the virtual space, rather than displaying all information uniformly. Each location has its own dedicated information board that can be independently controlled and optimized, reducing overall system complexity while improving information accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the information processing apparatus and head-mounted display devices. The server manages information registration, storage, and distribution, thereby reducing the processing burden on individual devices and lowering system complexity while enabling real-time information display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users can view and interact with virtual information boards simultaneously, then collaboration and information sharing are enhanced, but processing load and system resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering and storing information on the server before it is needed. Information boards are created and populated in advance, allowing multiple users to access pre-processed information without requiring real-time processing for each user, thereby reducing processing load while enabling simultaneous access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements virtual information boards as copyable entities that can be instantiated multiple times across different user views. Instead of processing the same information multiple times for each user, the system creates virtual copies of information boards that can be simultaneously viewed by multiple users, reducing processing load while enhancing information sharing.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a reception unit and an instruction unit. The reception unit receives identification information of a user of a display device and position information indicating a predetermined place, from the display device which displays an image of a virtual space so as to be superimposed on a real space. The instruction unit instructs the display device to display public information associated with the position information, at the predetermined place or in the vicinity thereof, as an image of the virtual space, in a case where the public information is included in a public partner as a group belonging to an organization having the identification information of the user.
