AUGMENTED REALITY GUIDANCE IN A PHYSICAL LOCATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331310 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY GUIDANCE IN A PHYSICAL LOCATION
The abstract describes a system where a server device receives a message from a user device identifying a target at a physical location, along with the user's current location within that physical location. The server then sends a model to the user device to guide them through the physical location using augmented reality elements. Additionally, the server can activate an electronic shelf label associated with the target.
- Server device receives message from user device with target and user location
- Server sends model to guide user through physical location using augmented reality
- Server can activate electronic shelf label associated with target

Original Abstract Submitted
in some aspects, a server device associated with a physical location may receive a message from a user device associated with a user, the message identifying a target located at the physical location and the message including an indication of a current location of the user device within the physical location. the server device may transmit, responsive to the message, a model to the user device, the model configured to cause presentation of one or more augmented reality elements to guide the user through the physical location from the current location to the target. the server device may cause an electronic shelf label (esl) associated with the target to activate an indicator. numerous other aspects are described.
