APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENTS RELATED TO AUGMENTED REALITY SERVICE BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17992213 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENTS RELATED TO AUGMENTED REALITY SERVICE BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and device for supporting various display methods in augmented reality (AR) using an electronic device and/or AR glasses.

  • The device includes a display and a processor.
  • The processor is configured to provide content through an AR screen and detect a specified external object through the AR screen.
  • Based on the detection of the specified external object, the processor determines a display mode for providing the content.
  • The processor controls the display of the content through the display of the specified external object, based on the determined display mode.
  • The processor also controls the display of the content through a virtual display area associated with the specified external object on the AR screen, based on the determined display mode.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Augmented reality gaming, where virtual content can be displayed on external objects or within a virtual display area.
  • Industrial applications, where workers can receive real-time information and instructions displayed on external objects or within a virtual display area.
  • Navigation and mapping, where directions and points of interest can be displayed on external objects or within a virtual display area.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides flexibility in displaying content in augmented reality by allowing content to be displayed on external objects or within a virtual display area.
  • Enhances user experience by integrating virtual content seamlessly with the real world.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved usability and convenience in augmented reality applications.
  • Enhanced immersion and interaction in augmented reality experiences.
  • Increased flexibility and adaptability in displaying content in augmented reality.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and a device capable of supporting various display methods using an electronic device and/or glasses-type wearable electronic device (e.g., AR glasses) in an augmented reality (AR) are provided. An AR providing device for AR services includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to provide content through an AR screen, detect a specified external object through the AR screen while providing the content, determine a display mode for providing the content, based on detection of the specified external object, control to display the content through a display of the specified external object, based on the determined display mode, and perform control to display the content through a virtual display area associated with the specified external object on the AR screen, based on the determined display mode.
