This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231516 titled 'Augmented Reality Vehicle Search Assistance
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a system that can automatically locate a user in a parking lot and direct them to recommended inventory. - The system allows a customer to capture an image of a vehicle or a marker associated with a vehicle in a parking lot. - The image is processed either locally or at a server to identify the vehicle. - Information about the user is also processed to determine another vehicle that would be appropriate for a recommendation. - A prompt on a mobile device suggests a popular model similar to the vehicle being viewed. - The system then provides directions, such as augmented reality directions, to guide the user to the recommended vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects described herein may allow for auto-locating a user in a parking lot and/or automatically directing a user to recommended inventory. For example, a customer may capture an image of a vehicle, or a marker associated with a vehicle, in a parking lot. The image may be processed locally or at a server. A vehicle may be identified based on analysis of the image. Further, information regarding the user may be processed to determine another vehicle appropriate for a recommendation. For example, a prompt on a mobile device may suggest a popular model similar to the vehicle being viewed. The system may then provide directions (e.g., augmented reality directions) to the user to direct the user to the vehicle.
