Patent Applications by Snap Inc.

20240210704.ANGULAR UNIFORMITY WAVEGUIDE FOR AUGMENTED OR VIRTUAL REALITY_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)

Inventor(s): Arseny Alexeev of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc., Sebastien De Cunsel of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc., Sophia Fox of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc., Choon How Gan of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc., Ciaran Phelan of Wallingford (GB) for snap inc., Gleb Siroki of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc., Mohmed Salim Valera of Sutton Coldfield (GB) for snap inc., Kai Wang of Abingdon (GB) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G02B27/01, G02B27/42

CPC Code(s): G02B27/0172

Abstract: there is disclosed a waveguide for use in an augmented reality or virtual reality display. the waveguide comprises a plurality of optical structures in a photonic crystal. the plurality of optical structures are arranged in an array to provide at least two diffractive optical elements. each of the two diffractive optical elements is configured to receive light from an input direction and couple it towards the other diffractive optical element which can then act as an output diffractive optical element, providing outcoupled orders towards a viewer. the plurality of optical structures respectively have a shape, when viewed in the plane of the waveguide, comprising twelve substantially straight sides, six of the sides having respective normal vectors at a first angle, and the other six of the sides having respective normal vectors at a second angle which is different to the first angle.

20240211101.SELECTABLE ITEMS PROVIDING POST-VIEWING CONTEXT ACTIONS_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)

Inventor(s): Marc Brown of New York NY (US) for snap inc., Shaun Harrison of Oakdale CA (US) for snap inc., Christie Marie Heikkinen of Sherman Oaks CA (US) for snap inc., David Phillip Taitz of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc., Jeremy Baker Voss of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G06F3/0482, G06F3/04817, G06F3/04842, H04L51/224, H04M1/7243, H04M1/72484

CPC Code(s): G06F3/0482

Abstract: method of generating selectable items providing post-viewing context actions starts with a processor receiving a media content item with first media overlay from first client device. processor causes an active notification associated with the media content item to be displayed on a notification user interface by a second client device. processor receives a selection of the active notification from the second client device and in response to receiving the selection of the active notification, causes the media content item to be displayed by the second client device. the processor, in response to the media content item being displayed by the second client device, causes the second client device to display the notification user interface comprising an inactive notification and a first selectable item that is associated with the first media overlay. other embodiments are described herein.

20240211119.ANALYZING AUGMENTED REALITY CONTENT ITEM USAGE DATA_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)

Inventor(s): Jean Luo of Seattle WA (US) for snap inc., Per Sandell of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc., Vincent Sung of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G06F3/0484, G06F9/451

CPC Code(s): G06F3/0484

Abstract: usage metrics for augmented reality content may be identified and analyzed to determine measures of fitness for respective usage metrics. the measures of fitness may indicate a level of correlation with an outcome specified by an augmented reality content creator and an amount of interaction with an augmented reality content item by users of a client application. recommendations may be provided to augmented reality content creators indicating modifications to augmented reality content items that have at least a threshold probability of increasing the level of interaction between users of the client application and the augmented reality content item.

20240212033.GENERATING AUGMENTED REALITY CONTENT BASED ON USER-SELECTED PRODUCT DATA_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)

Inventor(s): Jean Luo of Seattle WA (US) for snap inc., Celia Nicole Mourkogiannnis of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G06Q30/0601, G06F3/01, G06F18/2431, G06T11/00, G06T19/00, G06V10/75, G06V10/764, G06V20/20, G06V40/16, H04N5/262, H04N5/272

CPC Code(s): G06Q30/0643

Abstract: in one or more implementations, information about a number of products may be obtained. visual effects corresponding to each product may be applied to objects included in user content to change the appearance of the objects included in the user content. augmented reality content may be implemented to cause changes to the appearance of one or more objects included in the user content. in various examples, a number of visual effects related to different products may be applied to objects included in the user content. a user interface including information about each of the products applied to objects included in the user content may be produced.

20240212287.AUGMENTED REALITY ERGONOMICS EVALUATION SYSTEM_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)

Inventor(s): Yubin Xi of San Jose CA (US) for snap inc., Kai Zhou of Wiener Neudorf (AT) for snap inc.

IPC Code(s): G06T19/00, G06V40/10, G06V40/20

CPC Code(s): G06T19/006

Abstract: an ergonomics evaluation system for ar applications of an ar device is described. in one aspect, a method includes accessing user interface elements of an augmented reality application, accessing a plurality of user models and corresponding simulated augmented reality device sensor data for the plurality of user models, identifying simulated user interactions, from the plurality of user models, with a simulated augmented reality device operating the augmented reality application, based on the plurality of user models and corresponding simulated augmented reality device sensor data for the plurality of user models, applying a computer vision algorithm to the simulated user interactions, identifying user postures and user motions based on the simulated user interactions, and generating a first ergonomic feedback based on the user postures and the user motions.
