Mobile Terminal AR Preview Object Information Holding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals lack the ability to effectively hold and utilize object information within a preview image for augmented reality applications, limiting user interaction and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal equipped with a wireless communication unit, camera, position information unit, and touchscreen that displays and allows users to select and hold object information within a preview image, enabling further control and operation related to the held information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If object information is displayed in a preview image for augmented reality, then user interaction capability is improved, but the ability to hold and utilize the information within the preview image is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by allowing users to select and hold object information before performing operations. The controller stores the selected object information in memory, preserving it for subsequent use. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining information availability while enabling interaction, as the information is retained in the system ready for future operations rather than being immediately consumed or lost.
2Device complexity
If the mobile terminal provides basic camera preview functionality, then device simplicity is maintained, but augmented reality object information capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by enabling the camera preview function to serve multiple purposes: traditional photo/video preview and augmented reality object information display. The controller determines whether to display object information based on recognition results, allowing the same hardware to adapt between standard and enhanced AR modes. This resolves the contradiction by making the basic camera system versatile enough to handle both simple preview and complex AR information display without requiring entirely separate systems.

AI summary
A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which object information on an object in a preview image is held in the preview image to be utilized in various ways. The present invention includes displaying a preview image for augmented reality photographed via a camera, obtaining a current position of the mobile terminal, searching object information on at least one object in the preview image based on the current position of the mobile terminal, displaying the found object information within the preview image, if displayed the object information is selected from the preview image, holding the selected object information within the preview image, and controlling an operation related to the held object information.
