Dynamic Location Digital Element Stabilization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing location-based digital element technologies face challenges in stabilizing the perceived location of digital objects in augmented reality environments due to errors in geographical location sensing, leading to erratic movement and a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that filters and averages location data to limit the rate of change of digital object movement, allowing it to move at a maximum predetermined rate and biasing its position to remain within a target area, ensuring a stable and predictable appearance.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If location data is used directly to position digital objects in augmented reality, then the system responds quickly to location changes, but the digital objects exhibit erratic movement due to sensing errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary filtering and averaging of location data before using it to position digital objects. By pre-processing the location data to smooth out errors, the system maintains stable object positions while still responding to genuine location changes, preventing erratic movement caused by sensing inaccuracies
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the raw location sensor data and the digital object positioning system. This intermediary layer applies filtering algorithms that mediate between the fast-changing sensor data and the stability requirements of the augmented reality display, smoothing out errors while preserving legitimate position changes
2Stability of the object's composition
If location filtering is applied to stabilize digital object positions, then the appearance becomes stable and predictable, but the rate of change is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the filtering parameters based on the current state and requirements. By making the filtering characteristics adaptive rather than static, the system can maintain stability during normal operation while allowing faster response when genuine significant location changes occur, balancing stability with appropriate responsiveness

AI summary
A digital element located within a region near a device is identified. The digital element is located at a dynamically updated location. It is determined that the digital element is to be rendered. A representation of the digital element is generated in a rendered view of at least a portion of the region. Content of the digital element is provided upon receiving an indication that the digital element has been selected.
