Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from 2D image-based object detection to 3D point cloud-based detection. By utilizing depth information from sensors (such as LiDAR or depth cameras), the system creates three-dimensional representations of objects and their spatial relationships, enabling accurate detection in 3D space while maintaining real-time performance through optimized processing pipelines.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that captures real-world spatial information through depth sensors and point cloud generation, then translates this information into a format suitable for augmented reality rendering. This intermediary step preserves the richness of real-world spatial data while enabling real-time virtual object placement and interaction, bridging the gap between physical and virtual environments.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing point cloud data to extract key spatial features, object boundaries, and relationship patterns before main processing occurs. By preparing and organizing spatial information in advance through filtering, segmentation, and feature extraction, the system enables both high processing speed and comprehensive situational understanding during real-time operation.
