SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18347909 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

A system is described that manages a virtual object projected in a terminal for a user. The system includes a management means that handles viewpoint information of the user of the terminal. It also includes a provision means that provides information of the virtual object to be projected in a second terminal based on a feature quantity detected by the second terminal in the real world. The system performs control to switch between projection of the virtual object corresponding to the user's viewpoint and projection of the virtual object corresponding to a different viewpoint based on an instruction for projection of the virtual object.

  • The system manages viewpoint information of a user of a terminal for a virtual object.
  • The system provides information of the virtual object to be projected in a second terminal based on a feature quantity detected by the second terminal in the real world.
  • The system can switch between projection of the virtual object corresponding to the user's viewpoint and projection of the virtual object corresponding to a different viewpoint.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Augmented reality experiences where virtual objects are projected in a user's field of view.
  • Virtual tours or simulations where virtual objects are projected in a specific location in the real world.
  • Gaming experiences where virtual objects interact with the real world.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Allows users to interact with virtual objects in a more immersive and realistic manner.
  • Provides a seamless integration of virtual objects into the real world.
  • Enables users to have personalized viewpoints of virtual objects.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience in augmented reality applications.
  • Increased realism and immersion in virtual tours or simulations.
  • Improved gameplay and interaction in gaming experiences.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system that manages a virtual object includes: a management means configured to manage viewpoint information of a user of a first terminal for a virtual object which is provided using the first terminal and which is projected in the first terminal for the user of the first terminal; and a provision means configured to provide information of the virtual object to be projected in a second terminal in response to a feature quantity in the real world for displaying the virtual object in correlation with the real world which is detected by the second terminal. Control for switching between projection of the virtual object corresponding to a viewpoint of the user of the first terminal and projection of the virtual object corresponding to a viewpoint other than the viewpoint using the managed viewpoint information on the basis of an instruction for projection of the virtual object is performed in the second terminal.
