Interactive Digital Overlays Using Gesture-Based Subject Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Published digital content lacks rich interactive capabilities, limiting user engagement and manipulation options.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating a temporary array of digital content, allowing users to overlay images or videos with interactive elements, using facial or gesture recognition technology to capture and place user data onto the array for real-time overlay on digital content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital content is published in traditional formats, then content delivery is simple and straightforward, but interactive capabilities are limited or nonexistent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements nested digital overlays where multiple layers of interactive content are embedded within a base digital publication. Each overlay layer can contain additional interactive elements, creating a nested structure that provides rich interactivity while maintaining a relatively simple delivery mechanism through sequential layering rather than complex integrated systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that sits between the simple digital content delivery and the complex interactive experience. This intermediary layer handles the transformation of basic digital content into interactive overlays with gesture recognition and personalized content, absorbing the complexity away from both the delivery mechanism and the end-user interface
2Ease of operation
If digital content allows user manipulation, then user engagement increases, but control and measurement become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual interaction methods with gesture recognition technology and automated processing systems. Users interact through natural gestures rather than precise mechanical controls, making operation easier while the automated recognition systems handle the precision and measurement aspects, eliminating the need for users to have fine motor control skills
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-adjusting overlays that automatically adapt to user preferences and behaviors without requiring precise user control. The overlays self-correct and self-optimize based on user interaction patterns, reducing the need for users to precisely control or measure interaction parameters while maintaining high engagement
Data Source
AI summary
Methods for overlaying content or feature over content and a system for classifying gestures are disclosed. A method comprises identifying content to overlay displayed digital content; wherein identifying the content for overlayment comprises: detecting at least one subject of interest in an image; selecting a singular subject of interest from the at least one subjects of interest; isolating the singular subject of interest from the image to be the content for overlayment; storing the content for overlayment on an overlayment storage server; creating a temporary array; populating the temporary array with the identified content for overlayment from the overlayment storage server; and responsive to an input, transforming the temporary array into a populated overlayment.
