Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional augmented reality technologies using two-dimensional barcodes are limited in varying the superimposed information on real spaces, leading to a lack of diversity and engagement in the augmented experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a first marker and multiple second markers, allowing for the judgment of positional relationships such as distance, orientation, and direction between markers, enabling dynamic superimposition of information on captured images based on these relationships, thereby enhancing the diversity and usability of the augmented real space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two-dimensional barcode recognition is used for augmented reality, then the basic superimposition function is achieved, but the diversity and engagement of the augmented experience is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the augmented reality space into multiple regions by using multiple second markers distributed across the arrangement region. Each marker region can have different information superimposed, enabling spatial diversity without requiring a single complex marker system. The first marker on the arrangement item interacts with multiple second markers to create varied information display across different locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional barcode recognition to three-dimensional spatial relationship analysis. By detecting the positional relationships (distance, orientation, direction) between markers in 3D space, the system enables context-specific information superimposition that varies based on spatial configuration, adding a dimensional layer of complexity that enhances diversity.
2Ease of operation
If simple two-dimensional barcode superimposition is used, then the system is easy to operate, but the user engagement and interest are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the superimposed information based on the detected positional relationships between markers. As the arrangement item moves relative to the arrangement region, the information displayed changes in response to the changing spatial configuration, creating an engaging dynamic experience while maintaining ease of use through automatic detection and adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of the superimposed information (content, position, appearance) based on the detected positional relationships. By varying information display according to distance, orientation, and direction parameters, the system maintains operational simplicity while significantly enhancing user engagement through context-aware adaptation.
3Productivity
If fixed information superimposition is used at marker positions, then the processing is simple, but the usability and suitability for different contexts is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different information superimposition strategies to different local regions defined by the marker positions and spatial relationships. Each local region around the markers can have context-specific information displayed, allowing the system to maintain processing efficiency while adapting to different usage contexts through localized customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the detected positional relationships to dynamically determine what information to superimpose. The feedback loop continuously monitors the spatial configuration and adjusts the information display accordingly, maintaining efficient processing while enhancing contextual suitability through adaptive response to user interactions.
