INTERFACE FOR ENGAGING IOT DEVICES WITH AR CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053858 titled 'INTERFACE FOR ENGAGING IOT DEVICES WITH AR CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for controlling an Internet of Things (IoT) device using an augmented reality (AR) camera. The system pairs an interactable AR overlay with the IoT device, which includes control information for generating a control signal to control the device. When the AR camera interacts with the interactable overlay, the control signal is generated and sent to the IoT device. The AR camera displays the interactable overlay when the IoT device is within its field of view, and provides an indication when the user points the camera at the overlay.

  • The system pairs an interactable AR overlay with an IoT device.
  • The AR overlay includes control information for generating a control signal.
  • The AR camera displays the interactable overlay when the IoT device is in its field of view.
  • The user can interact with the overlay using the AR camera.
  • The system provides an indication when the user points the camera at the overlay.
  • The control signal associated with the pointed overlay is sent to the IoT device.

Potential Applications:

  • Remote control of IoT devices using an AR camera.
  • Smart home automation through AR interaction.
  • Industrial applications for controlling IoT devices in a hands-free manner.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the control of IoT devices by providing an intuitive and interactive interface.
  • Eliminates the need for physical buttons or separate control devices.
  • Enables control of IoT devices from a distance using an AR camera.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience through AR interaction.
  • Improved convenience and ease of controlling IoT devices.
  • Increased flexibility in controlling IoT devices without direct physical contact.
  • Enables hands-free control of IoT devices in various scenarios.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for controlling an internet of things (iot) device through interaction with an augmented reality (ar) camera includes pairing an interactable augmented reality (ar) overlay with the iot device. the interactable overlay includes control information for generating a control signal for controlling the iot device when the interactable overlay is interacted with by the ar camera. the interactable overlay is presented on a display of the ar camera when the iot device is in a field of view of the ar camera. an indication that the user has pointed the ar camera at the interactable overlay associated with the iot device on the display of the ar camera is provided, and a control signal associated with the interactable overlay pointed at by the ar camera is provided to the at least one iot device associated with the interactable overlay pointed at by the ar camera.
