AUGMENTED REALITY TRIGGERING OF DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054742 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY TRIGGERING OF DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an augmented reality trigger system that includes a primary augmented reality device and a trigger action controller. The system is designed to implement an augmented reality trigger method based on a medical tool and/or a tool identifier associated with the medical tool.

In operation, the primary augmented reality device generates a camera image of the real world, which may or may not include the medical tool and/or the tool identifier. The trigger action controller recognizes when the camera image includes the medical tool and/or the tool identifier. In response to this recognition, the trigger action controller triggers a medical procedure action by the primary augmented reality device and/or a medical device to support a medical procedure involving the medical tool.

  • The system includes a primary augmented reality device and a trigger action controller.
  • The primary augmented reality device generates a camera image of the real world.
  • The camera image may or may not include a medical tool and/or a tool identifier.
  • The trigger action controller recognizes when the camera image includes the medical tool and/or the tool identifier.
  • In response to this recognition, the trigger action controller triggers a medical procedure action.
  • The medical procedure action is performed by the primary augmented reality device and/or a medical device.
  • The system supports medical procedures involving the medical tool.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical training and education: The system can be used to provide augmented reality guidance and support during medical procedures, enhancing training and education for healthcare professionals.
  • Surgical assistance: The system can assist surgeons by providing real-time information and guidance during surgeries, improving accuracy and efficiency.
  • Remote healthcare: The system can enable remote healthcare providers to guide and support patients during medical procedures, reducing the need for in-person visits.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Lack of real-time guidance: The system provides real-time augmented reality guidance during medical procedures, helping healthcare professionals perform tasks accurately and efficiently.
  • Limited access to expertise: The system allows remote healthcare providers to remotely guide and support patients during medical procedures, overcoming geographical limitations and improving access to expertise.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency: The system provides real-time guidance and support, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of medical procedures.
  • Enhanced training and education: The system can improve the training and education of healthcare professionals by providing augmented reality guidance during medical procedures.
  • Remote support and guidance: The system enables remote healthcare providers to remotely guide and support patients during medical procedures, improving access to healthcare expertise.


Original Abstract Submitted

an augmented reality trigger system () comprising a primary augmented reality device () and a trigger action controller () for implementing an augmented reality trigger method based on a medical tool () and/or a tool identifier () associated with the medical tool (). in operation, the primary augmented reality device () generates a camera image of the real world, which may or may not at any time include the medical tool () and/or the tool identifier (). the trigger action controller () recognizes a generation by the primary augmented reality device () of the camera image of the real world including the medical tool () and/or the tool identifier () and in response to such recognition, triggers a medical procedure action by the primary augmented reality device () and/or a medical device () in support of a medical procedure involving the medical tool ().
