Viewfinder GUI Scroll Layout for Faster AR Content Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to navigate through multiple pages of information to find and apply augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) experiences to content items, which is time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially on mobile devices, reducing efficiency and increasing complexity.
Innovation Solution
A GUI with a single scrollable region that integrates previously captured content items and AR/VR experiences, allowing users to select and apply modifications directly from this interface without navigating through separate pages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users navigate through multiple pages to find and apply AR/VR experiences to content items, then they can access a comprehensive set of options, but the process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines previously captured content items and AR/VR experience options into a single scrollable region within the viewfinder interface. This merging eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple separate pages, allowing them to access both content and modification options in one unified location, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining comprehensive accessibility
2Loss of information
If users navigate through multiple pages of information, then they can find specific content items, but device resources and processing power are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the content display and option selection into a single scrollable region, the patent reduces the number of page transitions and interface refreshes required. This consolidation minimizes device resource consumption and energy usage while preserving the user's ability to find and access specific content items through intuitive scrolling
3Ease of manufacture
If the system provides separate interfaces for content selection and AR/VR experience application, then each interface can be optimized, but the overall system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges content selection and AR/VR experience application into a single unified interface with one scrollable region. This reduces the overall number of interfaces and pages users must navigate, thereby decreasing system complexity from the user's perspective while maintaining functional optimization through careful arrangement of options within the unified interface

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for navigating images and AR experiences. The system and method present, by a messaging application, in a scrollable region on top of a live video feed being displayed in a GUI comprising a viewfinder, a first plurality of options associated with previously captured content items and a second plurality of options associated with AR experiences. The system and method scrolls the first plurality of options together with the second plurality of options of the scrollable region to bring one of the first plurality of options or one of the second plurality of options into focus. In response, the system and method: modify a configuration of the GUI in accordance with a first manner or modify the configuration of the GUI in accordance with a second manner.
