Moving Virtual Image Sharing via Dynamic Coordinate Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile augmented reality services are limited by virtual images having fixed coordinates, preventing mobility and shared experiences, such as moving virtual coupons or characters, between terminal devices.
Innovation Solution
A system and terminal device that create and share virtual images with moving coordinates, using a virtual image creating unit, registration requesting unit, and sharing unit to generate and transmit virtual images with initial speed, direction, and movement information, allowing dynamic positioning and sharing across multiple devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If virtual images have fixed coordinates determined upon creation, then the virtual image can be displayed at a specific position, but the virtual image cannot move or be shared across different terminal devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transforming the static coordinate system into a dynamic one. Virtual images are no longer fixed to initial coordinates but move according to terminal device position changes. The coordinate system updates in real-time based on device location, enabling virtual images to follow and move with terminal devices across different positions and devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the coordinate parameters from fixed initial values to dynamic values that update based on terminal device position. The virtual image coordinates are no longer static but are continuously adjusted according to the device's current location, enabling mobility and sharing across devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If virtual images are created with initial position coordinates, then the virtual image can be displayed at the creation position, but other terminal devices cannot view or interact with the virtual image at different positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring terminal device position information and using this feedback to update virtual image coordinates. The system receives position data from the device, calculates new coordinates based on this feedback, and updates the virtual image position accordingly, enabling accurate sharing across devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the virtual image system universal by enabling the same virtual image to be accessed and interacted with by multiple terminal devices. The coordinate system is designed to serve multiple devices simultaneously, allowing any device within the relevant area to view and interact with the virtual image regardless of creation origin.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the virtual image system uses fixed coordinates, then the system is simple to implement, but mobility and interactive experiences across multiple devices are prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static coordinate system into a dynamic one that automatically updates based on terminal device position. This dynamic approach enables interactive capabilities across multiple devices while the automated update mechanism manages the complexity through real-time position-based calculations.

AI summary
Methods and apparatuses for sharing a virtual image. An apparatus includes a virtual image creating unit which creates a moving virtual image, a virtual image registration requesting unit which requests a virtual image sharing server to register the virtual image created by the virtual image creating unit, and a virtual image sharing unit which receives the virtual image having the moving coordinates, which corresponds to current position information of the terminal device, from the virtual image sharing server.
