Solution Overview

Problem

Existing augmented reality applications require users to download all variations of renderings, leading to large application sizes and impractical storage, and lack the ability to collaborate with remote agents for personalized experiences, resulting in user dissatisfaction and limited customization options.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that uses a camera-enabled mobile device to image physical space, initiate data communication with a remote agent, and select and incorporate augmented reality renderings within the physical space imagery, creating an immersive experience that can be customized and saved for future use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If all variations of augmented reality renderings are compiled into the software application and downloaded onto the user's device, then the application provides complete functionality, but the application size becomes large and storage requirements become impractical

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefunctionality completenessVSAvoidapplication size

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the augmented reality renderings from the application binary and stores them separately on remote servers. The application only contains lightweight code to request and display renderings, while the actual rendering content is obtained on-demand from external sources, dramatically reducing application size while maintaining functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the application into two parts: a lightweight client application that provides the user interface and control logic, and remote server infrastructure that stores and serves the rendering content. This segmentation allows the application to remain small while accessing comprehensive functionality through networked resources.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If augmented reality renderings are updated, then the content remains current and useful, but the user must download an updated version of the application

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent currencyVSAvoidupdate time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic or on-demand updates of rendering content through server pushes or client requests, allowing content to be refreshed without requiring full application updates. The application can periodically check for new renderings or receive notifications when updates are available.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The server prepares and stores updated renderings in advance, so when the user requests them or when connectivity is available, the latest content is immediately accessible without requiring application reinstallation or lengthy update processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the application stores all variations of renderings locally, then all rendering options are available offline, but the application becomes impractical in size and limits design ingenuity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverendering variation availabilityVSAvoidapplication structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The remote server infrastructure serves multiple functions: storing renderings, managing updates, handling user preferences, and providing content to multiple users simultaneously. This universal backend system replaces the need for each device to maintain complete local copies of all rendering variations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Ease of operation

If the application is customized to meet specific user needs through collaboration with a remote agent, then user satisfaction increases, but the application requires additional collaboration features and complexity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidapplication features

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The remote agent acts as an intermediary between the user and the application system, helping users discover, select, and customize renderings based on their needs. The agent translates user requirements into appropriate rendering selections and configurations, reducing the complexity users would otherwise need to manage directly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
