Immersive AR Search Interface with Chronological Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search engines lack an immersive user interface that effectively utilizes contextual information from images, maps, and live video to provide users with relevant and chronologically organized search results, failing to fully leverage the potential of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality platform entity that indexes content from various database providers, analyzes metadata, and generates interactive user interfaces on end-user devices to display live image data, allowing users to query and interact with location-specific content superimposed on real-time images, using pre-query data to identify topics and present query results in a chronological and relevance-based manner.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If search engines present results based on relevancy scores, then the most relevant content is prioritized, but chronological context and temporal organization of results are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The search results are segmented into multiple dimensions: relevancy scoring and chronological ordering operate independently. The interface divides results into time-based segments (past, present, future) while maintaining relevancy within each segment, allowing users to navigate both temporal context and relevance simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a temporal dimension to the traditional relevancy-based search results. By organizing results along both the relevancy axis and the chronological axis, the system transforms flat relevancy-ranked lists into multi-dimensional result presentations that preserve time context while maintaining relevance prioritization.
2Ease of operation
If search engines provide traditional text-based interfaces, then simplicity is maintained, but immersive and context-aware interactions are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The search interface is designed to handle multiple types of content and interactions universally. It processes text queries, image uploads, location data, and video content through a single unified interface that adapts its presentation based on the input type, maintaining simplicity while enabling diverse immersive interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives various input types (text, images, location data) and transforms them into contextualized search results. This intermediary layer enables complex adaptive interactions while preserving the simplicity of the user interface through consistent interaction patterns.
3Quantity of substance
If search engines index and process all available content, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and indexing content metadata before actual search queries are executed. Images, videos, and other media are pre-analyzed for tags, descriptions, and contextual information, which are stored and ready for rapid retrieval during search operations, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

AI summary
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a chronological-based search engine with an immersive user interface. An example method for an immersive user interface includes displaying, on a display screen of a user device, live image data. The method includes periodically sending, to a remote data provider, pre-query data associated a posed of the user device and the life image data. The method includes presenting, on the display screen, an interactive user interface based on a response received to the pre-query data. The interactive user interface includes a first element that is selectable between a plurality of positions defined by the response. The method includes receiving, via an input device of the user device, a selection of one of the plurality of positions and superimposing, on the display screen, an image as a second interface element onto the live image data, the image associated with the selection.
