This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823773 titled 'NAVIGATION PATHS FOR DIRECTING USERS TO FOOD ITEMS BASED ON MEAL PLANS
Simplified Explanation
- An extended reality (XR) device can help users plan their meals by receiving input related to their meals. - The XR device then creates a meal plan based on the input, including target meals. - The device generates a list of food items needed to prepare the target meals using recipes. - Users are provided with the list of food items and target meals through the XR device interface. - The XR device also offers in-store navigation to guide users to the locations within a physical retail store where they can find the food items needed for their meals.
Potential Applications
- Meal planning and grocery shopping assistance - Augmented reality experiences in retail stores
Problems Solved
- Difficulty in meal planning and grocery shopping - Lack of guidance in finding specific items in a retail store
Benefits
- Convenient meal planning process - Enhanced shopping experience with in-store navigation - Improved efficiency in meal preparation and grocery shopping
Original Abstract Submitted
In some implementations, an extended reality (XR) device may receive, via an interface of the XR device, an input associated with meals of a user associated with the XR device. The XR device may determine, based on the input, a meal plan for the user of the XR device, wherein the meal plan is associated with target meals. The XR device may determine, based on recipes for the target meals, a list of food items for preparing the target meals associated with the meal plan. The XR device may provide, via the interface, the list of food items and the target meals. The XR device may provide, via the interface, an in-store navigation path to direct the user of the XR device via overlayed audio-visual cues to locations within a physical retail store to pick up the food items.
