METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY CONTENT IN VEHICLE, AND WEARABLE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081120 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY CONTENT IN VEHICLE, AND WEARABLE DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for providing augmented reality (AR) content in a vehicle or a wearable AR device. The wearable AR device includes a processor and memory to execute instructions.
- The wearable AR device determines if it is inside the vehicle based on information from the vehicle or sensor measurements.
- If the device is not in the vehicle, it outputs AR content based on the sensor measurements of the device's surroundings.
- If the device is in the vehicle, it checks if there are anchor devices in the vehicle that can communicate with the wearable AR device.
- If there are anchor devices, the wearable AR device communicates with them to output AR content corresponding to the vehicle's surroundings.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing the driving experience by providing AR content related to the vehicle's surroundings.
- Assisting drivers with navigation and providing real-time information about the road, traffic, and points of interest.
- Providing entertainment and information to passengers in the vehicle through AR content.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method allows for seamless transition of AR content between the wearable AR device and the vehicle's anchor devices.
- It ensures that the AR content is relevant to the user's location, whether inside or outside the vehicle.
- The method enables the wearable AR device to adapt to different environments and provide accurate AR content.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved safety and convenience for drivers by providing relevant AR content in real-time.
- Enhanced passenger experience by offering interactive and informative AR content during travel.
- Flexibility for users to use the wearable AR device both inside and outside the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of providing an augmented reality (AR) content in a vehicle, and/or a wearable AR device and an electronic device for performing a method. The wearable AR device may include a processor and a memory storing instructions to be executed by the processor, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is configured to: determine whether the wearable AR device is in a space of the vehicle based on at least one of information received from the vehicle or a value measured using at least one sensor of the wearable AR device; when it is determined that the wearable AR device is not in the space of the vehicle, output an AR content corresponding to a space around the wearable AR device based on the value measured using the at least one sensor of the wearable AR device; when it is determined that the wearable AR device is in the space of the vehicle, determine whether there are anchor devices of the vehicle capable of communicating with the wearable AR device; and when it is determined that there are the anchor devices capable of communication, output an AR content corresponding to a space of the vehicle around the wearable AR device by communicating with the anchor devices.
