==Automated Tracking Of In-Building Device Location And Provision Of Associated Location-Related Functionality - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240251378 titled 'Automated Tracking Of In-Building Device Location And Provision Of Associated Location-Related Functionality

The abstract describes techniques for using computing devices to automate operations using building information to enhance visual data on images captured and displayed on a mobile device in real-time. This includes generating descriptive building information from building images and other data to improve navigation and functionality as the mobile device moves through the building.

* Automated operations using building information to enhance visual data on mobile devices
* Real-time generation of descriptive building information from building images
* Improved navigation and functionality in buildings for mobile devices
* Utilizing structural elements and objects identified in the building for enhanced user experience
* Automatically generated textual descriptions of objects and attributes in the building

Potential Applications:
- Augmented reality applications for building navigation
- Autonomous vehicle navigation within buildings
- Enhanced user experience for building exploration and information retrieval

Problems Solved:
- Difficulty in navigating complex buildings
- Lack of real-time building information for mobile devices
- Limited functionality for mobile devices in indoor environments

Benefits:
- Improved user experience in building navigation
- Enhanced functionality for mobile devices in indoor settings
- Real-time access to building information for various applications

Commercial Applications:
Title: Real-time Building Information Enhancement for Mobile Devices
This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as:
- Indoor navigation apps for shopping malls, airports, and large buildings
- Real estate virtual tours with enhanced building information
- Building maintenance and inspection applications for professionals

Questions about the technology:
1. How does this technology improve user experience in building navigation?

==Original Abstract Submitted==

techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for using generated building information to further generate and present visual data enhancements on images that are captured by and displayed on a mobile device in the building (e.g., concurrent with capture of the images by a camera of the mobile device, such as in a real-time or near-real-time manner with respect to image capture), such as using descriptive information about a building that is generated from analysis of acquired building images and optionally other building information (e.g., floor plans), and such as to improve navigation of the building (e.g., for autonomous vehicles) and provide other functionality as the mobile device moves through the building. the descriptive building information may include structural elements and other objects identified in the building and other determined attributes of the building, and automatically generated textual descriptions of the objects and other attributes.
