Solution Overview

Problem

The limited visual range of users using wearable devices, such as augmented reality devices, due to smaller display sizes compared to camera devices, hinders quick and accurate identification of target objects.

Innovation Solution

A remote collaboration method is employed between a wearable device and a remote device to generate and transmit indication information for the position of target objects, enhancing the wearable device's display with accurate positioning assistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the display device of the wearable device is used to show pictures, then the user can view images, but the visual range is limited and target object identification is slow and inaccurate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget object identification accuracyVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

A remote device serves as an intermediary between the wearable device's camera and the user's visual perception. The remote device receives images from the wearable device's camera, processes them to identify target objects, and provides location information back to the wearable device, enabling accurate target identification without requiring a large display area on the wearable device itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of displaying the full-resolution camera image directly on the wearable device's small display, the system creates a simplified representation (copy) of the image data on the remote device where target objects can be accurately identified and located, then transfers only the essential location information back to the wearable device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If the display device of the wearable device is used to show pictures, then the user can view images, but the visual range is limited and cannot quickly obtain target object position

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget object identification speedVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The remote device acts as an intermediary that performs rapid image processing and target identification, leveraging its computational resources to quickly analyze images from the wearable device's camera and provide location information, thereby increasing identification speed without requiring the wearable device's display to be larger

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the essential information needed for target identification (location coordinates and object type) from the full image data processed on the remote device, and transfers only this extracted information back to the wearable device, enabling fast target acquisition without displaying the entire image on the small wearable display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A remote collaboration method applied to a remote device is provided. In the method, the remote device receives a first image transmitted by a wearable device and determines a reference area based on the first image. The remote device further determines a position of a target object relative to the reference area and generates the indication information according to the position of the target object relative to the reference area and transmits the indication information to the wearable device. The method can provide a user with the indication information of the position of the target object in the eyesight through remote collaboration between the remote device and the wearable device, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of determining the position of the target object.
