Virtual Content Localization via Geographic Target Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively display virtual content that is localized to different geographic locations, where physical target objects also vary, such as different currencies or electrical outlets, leading to inconsistencies in virtual content presentation.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that determine the geographic location of a device, identify a target object based on this location, and display virtual content associated with that object, using a database to retrieve object models and virtual content specific to each location, ensuring accurate and location-specific virtual content display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If virtual content is displayed without considering geographic location, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the virtual content becomes inconsistent with local target objects such as different currencies or electrical outlets
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes a database containing target object models and virtual content associations for multiple geographic locations. Before displaying virtual content, the system determines the device's geographic location and retrieves the appropriate location-specific target object model from the pre-prepared database, ensuring consistency without real-time complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a geographic location database as an intermediary between the device and virtual content display. This database stores associations between geographic locations, target objects, and virtual content, mediating the matching process and ensuring that the correct virtual content is displayed for the detected target object at the current location
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system adapts virtual content to different geographic locations, then the virtual content becomes contextually relevant, but the detection and measurement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements local quality by creating location-specific versions of target object models and virtual content. Each geographic location has its own customized target object characteristics and associated virtual content, allowing the system to adapt to local variations in currencies, electrical outlets, and other target objects while maintaining a unified overall architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by modifying target object model parameters based on geographic location. The system stores multiple versions of target object models with different parameters for different locations and retrieves the appropriate version based on the device's current location, enabling adaptive display without complex real-time detection
