Display Tracking Systems and Methods - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18581251 titled 'Display Tracking Systems and Methods
Simplified Explanation
A tracked device in an extended reality system can be difficult to track due to changing appearances or small surface areas. To address this, the tracked device periodically presents an image to the tracking device for tracking purposes, even if the image is not continuously displayed on the tracked device.

Using image presentation for tracking helps overcome difficulties in tracking devices with changing appearances or small surface areas, leading to improved tracking accuracy and enhanced user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A tracked device may be used in an extended reality system in coordination with a tracking device. The tracked device may be ordinarily difficult to track, for example due to changing appearances or relatively small surface areas of unchanging features, as may be the case with an electronic device with a relatively large display surrounded by a thin physical outer boundary. In these cases, the tracked device may periodically present an image to the tracking device that the tracking device stores as an indication to permit tracking of a known, unchanging feature despite the image not being presented continuously on the display of the tracked device. The image may include a static image, designated tracking data overlaid on an image frame otherwise scheduled for presentation, or extracted image features from the image frame otherwise scheduled for presentation. Additional power saving methods and known marker generation methods are also described.
