Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information sharing programs require pre-installation of programs on user terminals to recognize and generate AR result information, necessitating preparatory processes for virtual object reproduction, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

An information sharing program and apparatus that generates web page information for reproducing virtual objects on a web page, allowing transmission of virtual object information without requiring real-time data transfer and reducing preparatory processes in reproduction terminals, by using a receiving means to store and generate web page information and an output means to transmit access information upon request.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If object recognition information is transmitted to generate AR result information in the user terminal, then AR functionality is achieved, but preparatory processes and program installation are required in advance

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveAR result information generationVSAvoidpreparatory processes

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the image acquisition terminal and the user terminal. The server performs object recognition and generates AR result information, then transmits only the results to the user terminal. This mediator approach eliminates the need for users to install recognition programs locally while still achieving AR functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting the actual object recognition program and running it on the user terminal, the patent transmits a copy or representation of the recognition results (AR result information) generated by the server. This allows the user terminal to display AR content without needing the complex recognition software installed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If virtual object information is shared between terminals, then information sharing is achieved, but real-time data transmission and preparatory processes are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevirtual object sharingVSAvoidpreparatory processes

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as a central intermediary that stores virtual object information and provides it to multiple terminals. When sharing is requested, the server transmits access information (URLs) to the sharing destination terminal, enabling virtual object sharing without requiring real-time data transmission or preparatory installation on the receiving terminal.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The server performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing virtual object information in advance. When a sharing request occurs, the pre-processed information can be quickly transmitted via URL access information, eliminating the need for real-time processing and reducing preparatory requirements on the receiving terminal.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If AR result information is generated in the user terminal, then local processing capability is utilized, but program installation and preparation are necessary

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveAR information processingVSAvoidprogram installation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The server serves as an external intermediary that performs the complex AR result information generation process. The user terminal only needs to transmit image data to the server and receive the processed AR results, eliminating the need for complex recognition programs to be installed locally while still achieving efficient AR information processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of installing and running recognition software on the user terminal with a network-based system where the server performs recognition. This substitution eliminates device complexity and installation requirements while maintaining or improving processing productivity through centralized server capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
