METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY RECOMMENDATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18071968 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY RECOMMENDATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for providing augmented reality (AR) recommendations to a user through an electronic device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The electronic device displays an image on its screen.
  • It identifies real-world objects in the image.
  • Based on the identified objects, it determines the functions of applications installed on the device.
  • The device then augments the functions of the applications as AR recommendations over the image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Retail: The device can recommend related products or provide additional information about a product based on real-world objects in an image.
  • Tourism: It can offer AR recommendations for nearby attractions or provide historical information about landmarks.
  • Gaming: The device can enhance gameplay by overlaying AR recommendations based on objects in the game environment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of context: By identifying real-world objects, the device can provide relevant recommendations and information based on the user's surroundings.
  • Information overload: The device filters and presents only the relevant AR recommendations, reducing the need for the user to search for information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: AR recommendations provide additional information and functionality, making interactions with the device more immersive and engaging.
  • Personalized recommendations: By analyzing real-world objects, the device can tailor AR recommendations to the user's specific interests and needs.
  • Convenience: Users can access relevant information and functionality without the need for additional searches or interactions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for providing augmented reality (AR) recommendations to a user by an electronic device include displaying, by the electronic device, an image on a screen of the electronic device, identifying, by the electronic device, at least one real world object in the image, determining, by the electronic device, at least one function of at least one application installed in the electronic device based on the at least one identified real world object, and augmenting, by the electronic device, the at least one function of the at least one application as an AR recommendation over the image.
