Dynamic Geolocation Area for Synchronized Augmented Reality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current augmented reality systems are limited by their reliance on fixed geolocation for content display, which restricts user interaction and flexibility, and often rely on image recognition, object recognition, or device positioning, leading to inefficiencies and user experience issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that create a synchronized dynamic geolocation area, allowing users to define and modify geolocation areas based on user-defined parameters, and associate virtual content with these areas for real-time display on user devices based on relative position and display parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If augmented reality systems use fixed geolocation for content display, then content can be displayed at specific locations, but user interaction and flexibility are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static geolocation-based AR into dynamic AR by making the geofence movable and resizable. The geofence now follows the user device as it moves through space, and its boundaries can be dynamically adjusted by user input. This dynamic approach allows content to be displayed based on relative position to the user rather than fixed coordinates, significantly improving flexibility and adaptability while maintaining manageable system complexity through efficient position tracking and rendering.
2Productivity
If augmented reality systems rely on image recognition or object recognition for content display, then content can be contextually relevant, but system efficiency and user experience deteriorate due to processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex image and object recognition systems with a simpler geofence-based spatial boundary system. Instead of analyzing camera images or sensor data to identify objects for content display, the system uses geometric boundary definitions combined with GPS/positioning data to determine when and where to display content. This substitution dramatically improves system efficiency by eliminating computationally intensive image processing while maintaining contextual relevance through precise spatial boundary detection and relative position calculation.
3Reliability
If augmented reality content is displayed based on fixed geolocation, then content placement is stable, but content relevance and timeliness deteriorate as users move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic content display by continuously updating the geofence position to match user device movement. As the user moves through space, the geofence moves with them, maintaining its relative position and allowing content to remain relevant and timely. The system calculates real-time distance and bearing between the user and geofence boundaries, dynamically determining content display based on current position rather than static location, thus eliminating content timeliness loss while preserving placement stability through consistent spatial relationships.

AI summary
A system and method for creating a synchronized dynamic geolocation area and augmenting a view of the synchronized dynamic geolocation area with content based on one or more display parameters may be provided. An initiating user may generate a dynamic geolocation area that may track the location of the initiating user as the initiating user moves, and indicate content to associate with the geolocation area and one or more display parameters to associate with the content. A recipient user may be provided with an augmented view of the geolocation area based on the content and the display parameters. Further, a location of the recipient user may be synchronized with the geolocation area, such that as the recipient user or the geolocation area move, the augmented view may be modified to account for the movement.
