Hierarchical Information Display for Object Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional augmented reality techniques require users to pre-select target objects for information recognition, limiting the ability to provide diverse and multi-dimensional information associated with recognized objects in a user-friendly manner.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that recognizes objects from an image displayed on its screen and provides primary and secondary information items hierarchically or in stages, allowing users to access detailed information through a controller configured for object recognition and information management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional AR techniques require users to pre-select target objects for information recognition, then the system can provide specific information about recognized objects, but the user experience is limited and requires users to be aware of information types beforehand
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring users to pre-select what information they want about recognized objects, the system inverts the approach by automatically recognizing objects and presenting multiple information types (primary and secondary) for users to choose from. This eliminates the need for users to know what information is available beforehand, making the system both easier to operate and more versatile.
Solution Approach 2:
The information about recognized objects is segmented into primary information items (initially displayed) and secondary information items (displayed upon selection). This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive information while maintaining ease of operation, as users can access detailed information only when needed through a simple selection process.
2Loss of information
If the system provides comprehensive information about recognized objects, then information completeness is improved, but the complexity of information management and display increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information into primary information items (displayed initially) and secondary information items (displayed upon selection). This segmentation structure allows comprehensive information to be provided while managing complexity through a hierarchical display approach, where not all information is presented simultaneously but can be accessed through simple user interaction.
Solution Approach 2:
The information display is made dynamic, transitioning from static pre-selected information to a multi-stage display where primary information is shown first and secondary information is revealed upon user selection. This dynamic approach allows the system to provide complete information while adapting to user needs, reducing the perceived complexity.

AI summary
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for providing information by an electronic device comprises recognizing at least one object from an image displayed on a screen of the electronic device, displaying at least one primary information item associated with the recognized object, and when at least one of the at least one primary information item is selected, displaying a secondary information item associated with the selected primary information item on the screen. Other various embodiments are also provided herein.
