Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems lack an efficient method for users to control media servers to implement augmented reality (AR) experiences in tourist spots using mobile applications, failing to enhance user engagement and exploration.
Innovation Solution
A device that allows users to control media servers through a mobile application, implementing AR by dividing tourist spots into subareas, generating avatars, and providing interactive tour information, object recognition, and group management, using modules like lighting, sound, and display to enhance the AR experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually explore tourist spots without automated guidance, then users have full control over their exploration pace, but users spend excessive time and effort in exploring and fail to efficiently identify key attractions
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously tracks user location via GPS and provides real-time feedback about nearby attractions, photo opportunities, and tour information through the mobile application. This feedback loop enables users to efficiently discover key attractions without manual searching, directly improving exploration efficiency while reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically collects photo data from user terminals, performs object recognition and classification, and generates tour information without requiring user intervention. This self-service approach allows the system to independently identify key attractions and provide guidance, enhancing productivity while minimizing the time users need to spend on manual exploration tasks.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides comprehensive AR content and interactive features, then user engagement and interest are enhanced, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The tourist spot is divided into multiple subareas, each with its own set of representative objects and AR content. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by processing and delivering content in smaller, location-specific portions rather than handling all content simultaneously, thereby maintaining user engagement while controlling system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Different subareas have different representative objects and AR content tailored to their specific characteristics. The system provides locally optimized content based on the user's current location, which enhances user engagement with relevant, context-specific information while reducing the overall processing burden by not delivering all possible content everywhere.
3Measurement precision
If the system processes and classifies all photo data in real-time, then object recognition accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs object classification and identifies representative objects for each subarea in advance, before users arrive. This preliminary processing allows the system to have pre-categorized data ready for rapid matching when users capture photos, thereby maintaining high recognition accuracy while minimizing real-time processing time and computational resource requirements.

AI summary
Provided is a device for controlling a media server that allows a user touring a tourist spot (TS) to control the media server through a mobile application (MA) of a user terminal, the device including an augmented reality (AR) implementation part configured to implement a TS as AR divided into a plurality of subareas (SAs) and transmit an avatar (AT) choice message (ACM) for selecting an AT to be generated in the AR to the user terminal, an AT generator configured to generate a selected AT in the AR implemented by the MA, an AT controller configured to cause, when it is determined that the user enters a specific SA of the TS, the generated AT to explain tour information of the specific SA, and a media server operator configured to execute a program for welcoming a user to enter the specific SA through modules provided in the specific SA.
