Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Customer service representatives lack information about the identity and motives of individuals entering their locations, making it difficult to mitigate fraud and provide appropriate interactions.
Innovation Solution
An augmented reality system using transparent panels with integrated projectors and sensors to identify customers and project relevant interaction data to service representatives, allowing for personalized and secure customer interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If customer service representatives interact with customers without identification systems, then the interaction process is simple and quick, but the representatives lack knowledge about customer identity and motives, increasing fraud risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an augmented reality display system as an intermediary between the customer service representative and the customer. The AR display provides customer identification information, interaction guidelines, and fraud detection data without requiring direct physical contact or complex manual verification processes. This mediator delivers reliable customer data while keeping the interaction flow simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional manual customer verification methods with an automated optical recognition system combined with augmented reality display. Instead of manual ID checking or database queries, the system uses cameras and image processing to automatically identify customers and display relevant information through AR glasses or displays, substituting mechanical verification processes with automated optical and computational systems.
2Loss of information
If an augmented reality system with cameras and sensors is implemented to identify customers, then customer information and interaction data can be provided to representatives, but the system complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functional system where the augmented reality display serves multiple purposes: customer identification, providing interaction guidelines, displaying account information, and offering fraud detection alerts. By consolidating these functions into a single AR interface, the system reduces the need for separate devices for each function, thereby managing complexity while maximizing information availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary customer identification and information retrieval before the actual customer interaction begins. The camera system captures customer images, the processor matches them against databases, and the AR display pre-loads relevant customer information and interaction protocols. This preliminary action ensures information is ready when needed, reducing the need for complex real-time processing during customer interactions.
3Ease of operation
If transparent panels with projection systems are used to display customer data, then personalized interaction data can be provided to representatives, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the projection system with the transparent panel into an integrated display unit. Rather than using separate projectors and screens, the system combines these elements into a unified transparent display that can be directly mounted at customer service points. This integration simplifies manufacturing and installation while providing personalized customer data directly in the representative's field of view.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes optical properties of transparent materials and projection technologies that manipulate light transmission and reflection. The display system uses controlled light projection through transparent panels, where specific wavelengths and intensities are used to create visible information while maintaining panel transparency. This optical approach allows information display without requiring opaque or complex mechanical display structures.

AI summary
A method for providing augmented reality content includes identifying a customer at a customer interaction location, retrieving customer-specific interaction data, determining locations of a customer service representative in an area adjacent to a first side of a transparent panel and the customer in an area adjacent to a second side of the transparent panel, and projecting an augmented reality element to the first side of a transparent panel, the augmented reality element displaying the customer-specific interaction data on the first side of the transparent panel.
