Wearable Apparatus Context View Activation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing augmented reality systems for wearable devices lack intuitive methods for users to activate and deactivate context-related views, particularly for providing information at ground level around the user's feet without requiring additional user input.
Innovation Solution
A wearable apparatus with processing units and memory that detects context-related view activation inputs, such as head tilting or voice commands, to determine the user's context and provide a view at ground level around the user's feet, allowing for automatic activation and deactivation of the context-related view.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional augmented reality systems are used, then information can be displayed to the user, but the activation and deactivation of context-related views requires additional user input and lacks intuitiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user context (location, movement status, orientation) and activates/deactivates context-related views without requiring explicit user commands. The wearable apparatus serves itself by monitoring its own state and environment, eliminating the need for additional user input for activation and deactivation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-determines context-related views based on detected user context (such as being stationary vs. moving, location information) before user interaction. This allows the system to have relevant information ready and automatically present it when appropriate conditions are met, rather than waiting for user requests.
2Loss of information
If context-related views are provided at ground level, then relevant information is presented to the user, but the system requires complex detection and determination mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The wearable apparatus integrates multiple detection functions (location detection, movement status detection, orientation detection) into a single system that serves multiple purposes. The same sensors and processing units used for basic AR display also determine context for automatic view activation, making the system multi-functional without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (view activation state, view position at ground level) based on detected context parameters (movement status, location, orientation). By monitoring changes in user state parameters and automatically adjusting display parameters, the system provides relevant information without requiring complex decision-making mechanisms.

AI summary
A wearable apparatus comprises at least one processing unit and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the apparatus to detect a context related view activation input from a user, determine a context in response to detecting the context related view activation input from the user, and cause a view relating to the context to be provided with the wearable apparatus such that the view appears to be at ground level around at least one foot of the user.
