Augmented Reality Messenger Triggers for Asynchronous Reactions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication systems lack the ability to efficiently deliver asynchronous augmented reality messages that can be triggered by specific conditions such as location, time, or visual markers, allowing users to send and receive AR content at predefined moments.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality messenger system that allows users to send AR messages with predefined triggers for delivery, including location, time, and visual markers, enabling the AR message to be overlaid on the receiver's view and capturing their reaction, which can be shared back to the sender.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If asynchronous AR messaging with predefined triggers is implemented, then communication efficiency and user engagement are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to pre-configure AR messages with triggers (location, time, visual markers) in advance. These messages are stored and automatically delivered when conditions are met, eliminating the need for real-time coordination and improving communication efficiency while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated workflows.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary messaging system that manages the complexity of trigger-based AR delivery. This intermediary layer handles trigger monitoring, message routing, and reaction collection, isolating the complexity from end users and enabling efficient asynchronous communication without requiring users to directly manage system complexity.
2Measurement precision
If multiple trigger conditions (location, time, visual markers) are supported, then message delivery precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments trigger conditions into distinct types (location triggers, time triggers, visual marker triggers), each handled by specialized modules. This segmentation allows precise message delivery through multiple condition types while managing device complexity by dividing the trigger processing system into independent, manageable components that can be implemented separately.
3Adaptability or versatility
If user reactions to AR messages are captured and shared, then communication interactivity is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic checking for trigger conditions and automated message delivery at predetermined moments. This periodic automation reduces the time users need to spend manually managing message delivery and reaction collection, allowing interactive AR messaging with minimal user time investment while maintaining high communication interactivity.
