Persistent AR Effect Context Storage Across Video Sessions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional video sharing platforms do not maintain context or data for augmented reality (AR) effects beyond the session, leading to isolated and temporary experiences, preventing users from continuing content creation or linking different effects.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a persistent storage system that retains user-specific context for AR effects, associating it with a user account, allowing the context to persist across sessions and between different effects, enabling continued use and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional video sharing platforms store only session-based AR effect data, then the system complexity remains low, but user engagement and content continuity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from temporary session-based storage to persistent user-account-based storage, adding a temporal dimension (persistence across sessions) and an organizational dimension (user account association) to the storage system. This allows AR effect data to be retrieved and continued across different sessions, improving content continuity while maintaining manageable complexity through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing AR effect data, user interactions, and context information during the session before the session ends. This preliminary storage ensures that when users return to continue their content creation, the data is already prepared and available, eliminating the need to restart from scratch and ensuring content continuity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If AR effect data is stored temporarily during session only, then the storage system remains simple, but user ability to continue content creation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates persistent copies of AR effect data, including effect parameters, user interactions, and contextual information, and stores them in an inventory associated with the user account. These copies survive session termination and can be retrieved for continued content creation, preventing information loss while enabling flexible adaptation across different sessions and effects.
3Reliability
If no persistent storage is implemented, then the system complexity remains low, but user engagement and personalized experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal storage inventory that serves multiple functions: storing AR effect data, user interactions, contextual information, and enabling cross-effect persistence. This multi-functional inventory is associated with user accounts, providing consistent personalized experiences across different AR effects and sessions while managing data complexity through a unified structure.

AI summary
Described are examples for providing augmented reality (AR) effects for a video sharing platform including activating, by a client of a video sharing platform, an AR effect for recording video for storing on the video sharing platform, and storing, by the client and on the video sharing platform, a user-specific context associated with the AR effect in an inventory that persists after the AR effect is deactivated, wherein the user-specific context includes an identifier of a user account associated with the user-specific context.
