IDENTIFYING A POSITION OF A CONTROLLABLE DEVICE USING A WEARABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18246464 titled 'IDENTIFYING A POSITION OF A CONTROLLABLE DEVICE USING A WEARABLE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method for identifying the position of a controllable device using visual data from a wearable device. - An object recognition module generates identification data based on the visual data. - The identification data is used to identify a specific 3D map from a map database. - The 3D maps in the database are associated with different controllable devices. - The method obtains the position of the controllable device in physical space using visual positioning data from the identified 3D map. - A user interface (UI) object is then rendered on a display, positioned within a certain distance of the controllable device's position.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an aspect, a method of identifying a position of a controllable device includes receiving visual data from an image sensor on a wearable device, generating, by an object recognition module, identification data based on the visual data, and identifying, using the identification data, a first three-dimensional (3D) map from a map database that stores a plurality of 3D maps including the first 3D map and a second 3D map, where the first 3D map is associated with a first controllable device and the second 3D map is associated with a second controllable device. The method includes obtaining a position of the first controllable device in a physical space based on visual positioning data of the first 3D map and rendering a user interface (UI) object on a display in a position that is within a threshold distance of the position of the first controllable device.
