Marker-Guided 3D Object Generation With IP Permission Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack effective methods to control the generation of three-dimensional (3D) objects based on physical or virtual elements, particularly in extended reality (XR) environments, without infringing on intellectual property rights or violating conditions set by rights holders.
Innovation Solution
The use of markers, visible or invisible to the human eye, associated with physical or XR objects to determine and enforce permissions for generating 3D objects, including the requirement of unlock codes or condition agreements, ensures compliance with rights holder restrictions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If systems allow free generation of 3D objects from images in XR environments, then user creativity and productivity are improved, but intellectual property rights and rights holder restrictions are violated
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting markers and determining generation permissions before actually generating the 3D object. This prevents unauthorized generation from occurring in the first place, resolving the contradiction between enabling free generation and protecting IP rights.
Solution Approach 2:
Markers serve as intermediaries between the image/object and the generation permission system. These markers carry permission information that mediates whether 3D object generation should be allowed, enabling the system to balance user creativity with rights holder restrictions.
2Reliability
If systems implement marker-based permission checking to prevent unauthorized 3D object generation, then intellectual property rights protection is improved, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of implementing a complex centralized permission management system, the patent uses marker copies that contain permission information. These markers can be detected and processed independently by various devices, reducing system complexity while maintaining reliable IP protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter representation of permission information by encoding it within markers rather than requiring complex external verification systems. This allows permission data to be self-contained and easily detectable, reducing operational difficulty while maintaining protection reliability.
3Reliability
If systems require unlock codes and condition agreements for 3D object generation, then rights holder restrictions compliance is improved, but ease of operation and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
Permission information including unlock codes and conditions are embedded in markers in advance. When a user scans a marker, the system already has the permission data ready, eliminating the need for complex real-time verification processes and maintaining user convenience while ensuring compliance.
Solution Approach 2:
The marker system enables self-service operation where the permission information is self-contained within the marker itself. Users can scan and generate 3D objects based on their own device's detection and interpretation of the marker data, without requiring complex external authorization processes.

AI summary
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using markers to inform the creation of graphical objects that represent objects. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining an image comprising a two-dimensional (2D) representation of an object. A request is obtained to utilize the image to generate a three-dimensional (3D) object that represents the object. The method includes determining whether the object is associated with a marker indicating reproducible aspect(s) of the object.
