DISPLAYING AVATARS ON AN AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) LENS IN RESPONSE TO RECEIVING A COMMUNICATION NOTIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127547 titled 'DISPLAYING AVATARS ON AN AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) LENS IN RESPONSE TO RECEIVING A COMMUNICATION NOTIFICATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method that involves displaying an avatar associated with a second user on an augmented reality (AR) lens of a first communication device, in response to receiving a notification from the second user on the first communication device worn by a first user. The first user is monitored for a predetermined gesture, and if the first user performs a specific gesture, an action associated with that gesture is performed by the first communication device. A response indicating the availability of the first user to communicate with the second user is then outputted.

  • Display avatar on AR lens in response to notification from second user
  • Monitor first user for predetermined gesture
  • Perform action associated with gesture by first communication device
  • Output response indicating availability to communicate with second user

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in virtual meetings, remote collaboration, and social networking platforms where users can interact with each other through gestures and avatars in augmented reality environments.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently indicating availability for communication in virtual environments, as well as providing a more engaging and interactive way for users to communicate with each other.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved communication experiences, enhanced user engagement, and the ability to convey availability for communication in a more intuitive and interactive manner.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include virtual reality communication platforms, online gaming environments, and remote collaboration tools that aim to enhance user interactions through augmented reality gestures and avatars.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of gesture recognition technology in virtual reality environments for communication and interaction purposes. Additionally, there may be existing patents related to displaying avatars in augmented reality settings for social networking or gaming applications.

What are the technical specifications of the first communication device used in this method?

The technical specifications of the first communication device, such as the type of sensors used for gesture recognition, the display resolution of the AR lens, and the communication protocols supported for receiving notifications from other devices, are not explicitly mentioned in the abstract.

How does the method ensure the privacy and security of user interactions in the augmented reality environment?

The abstract does not provide details on how the method ensures the privacy and security of user interactions in the augmented reality environment, such as data encryption, user authentication mechanisms, or data protection protocols.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes displaying an avatar associated with a second user on an augmented reality (ar) lens of a first communication device, in response to receiving, on the first communication device worn by a first user, a notification from a second communication device of the second user. the first user is monitored for a predetermined gesture. in response to a determination that the first user performs a first predetermined gesture, an action associated with the first predetermined gesture is performed by the first communication device. the method further includes outputting a response associated with the first predetermined gesture. the response indicates an availability of the first user to communicate with the second user.
