METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTED FEATURE PURCHASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029040 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTED FEATURE PURCHASE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer-implemented method using augmented reality to provide a user device with access to data content items. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The method involves processing an image on the user device to identify a candidate visual area.
  • The candidate visual area is then processed to identify visual features.
  • These identified features are compared to visual features of database objects associated with context-based categories and available data content items.
  • The method also allows for network searches based on these categories to identify data content items.
  • Instructions are generated to augment the display of the image on the user device with selectable image features for the identified data content items.
  • If a user selects one of the selectable image features, a determination is made regarding the user device's permission to access the corresponding data content item.
  • If permission is not granted, a payment settlement arrangement is implemented for the user device to gain access permission to the data content item.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Augmented reality-based shopping experiences, where users can view products in their environment and access information or make purchases.
  • Enhanced tourism experiences, where users can view landmarks or attractions and access relevant information or book tickets.
  • Interactive advertising campaigns, where users can interact with advertisements and access additional content or make purchases.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a more interactive and immersive way for users to access data content items.
  • Allows for context-based categorization and retrieval of data content items.
  • Enables secure access control and permission management for data content items.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhances user engagement and interaction with data content items.
  • Provides a more personalized and tailored user experience.
  • Enables monetization opportunities through payment settlement arrangements for accessing data content items.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computer-implemented augmented reality-based method provides a user device access to data content items by processing of an image on the user device to identify a candidate visual area, which is processed to identify visual features. the identified features are compared to visual features of database objects associated with one or more context-based categories and available data content items or network searches based on such categories, which when performed will identify data content items. instructions are then generated to augment a display of the image on the user device with selectable image features for the identified data content items. in response to a selection of one of the selectable image features, a determination is made regarding whether the user device has permission to access the corresponding data content item. if not, a payment settlement arrangement is implemented for the user device to gain access permission to the data content item.
