Client-Server AR System for Image-Based Augmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional augmented reality applications do not effectively support image-based reality augmentation, as they fail to provide useful information to users even when image identification is successful, leading to suboptimal user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A reality augmenting method and system that involves a client device and server, where the client sends image information to the server for identification, and the server generates and returns augmented information along with display position information, allowing the client to simultaneously display the image and augmented information, enhancing user interaction and experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional AR applications use image identification, then the image can be identified, but useful information cannot be shown to the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (AR information delivery mechanism) between image identification and information presentation. This intermediary layer processes the identified image data and retrieves corresponding useful information from databases or external sources, ensuring that identification success translates into meaningful information delivery to the user.
2Device complexity
If AR content is pre-prepared by developers based on geo-locations and image marks, then the system structure is simple, but the system cannot support image-based reality augmentation mode
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal AR information delivery mechanism that can handle multiple types of input data (geo-locations, image marks, and general image data) through a unified processing framework. This multi-functional system retrieves and presents relevant information regardless of the input type, enabling both traditional location-based AR and new image-based AR modes without requiring separate dedicated systems.
3Measurement precision
If the user sends a request based on an image, then the image can be identified, but the user experience is not ideal due to lack of useful information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system not only identifies the image but also retrieves and delivers relevant useful information back to the user. This feedback loop ensures that the user receives meaningful results (information about the identified object) rather than just confirmation of identification, thereby improving user experience and making the interaction more useful and engaging.

AI summary
A reality augmenting method, a client device and a server are provided. The reality augmenting method includes: obtaining information related to an object to be identified, in which the information includes image information of the object; sending the information to a server, receiving augmented information of the object and display position information of the augmented information returned from the server according to the information; and displaying the augmented information and the image information simultaneously according to the display position information.
