Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating augmented reality (AR) content in electronic devices are limited to single-human interactions and do not effectively consider multi-object interactions and intents in real-world environments, resulting in inaccurate insertion of AR text and effects.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device method that identifies and classifies the posture, action, intent, and interaction of multiple objects in a scene using a Machine Learning model, generating AR content by aggregating these interactions over time and mapping them to predefined templates with real-time information from a knowledge base.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing methods use single-human gesture recognition for AR content insertion, then the system complexity remains low, but the accuracy of AR content insertion deteriorates in multi-object environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of AR content insertionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the scene into multiple objects and individually identifies postures, actions, intents, and interactions for each object. This segmentation allows the system to handle multi-object environments by processing each object separately, thereby improving AR content insertion accuracy without overwhelming system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that aggregates interactions and intents of multiple objects over time before generating AR content. This intermediary step transforms complex multi-object data into structured information that can be mapped to AR templates, resolving the contradiction between handling multiple objects and maintaining system simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system aggregates interactions and intents of multiple objects over time, then the accuracy of AR content generation improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of AR content generationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of postures and actions for each object, and pre-aggregates their interactions and intents over time. This preliminary processing organizes the data structure in advance, enabling faster AR content generation when needed while maintaining high accuracy through comprehensive temporal aggregation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic aggregation of object interactions and intents at defined time intervals rather than continuous processing. This periodic approach maintains accurate temporal understanding of multi-object behaviors while reducing computational burden and processing time compared to continuous analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
