ALIGNING SCANNED ENVIRONMENTS FOR MULTI-USER COMMUNICATION SESSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202944 titled 'ALIGNING SCANNED ENVIRONMENTS FOR MULTI-USER COMMUNICATION SESSIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for determining the position data of a device in a three-dimensional representation during a communication session.
- The method involves creating a 3D representation of the device's physical environment.
- A spatial relationship is established between the 3D representation and the physical environment.
- Position data is then calculated based on the device's location in the physical environment and the spatial relationship.
- This position data is provided during a communication session between devices, allowing users to view the 3D representation.
Key Features and Innovation
- Creation of a 3D representation of the device's physical environment.
- Determination of a spatial relationship between the 3D representation and the physical environment.
- Calculation of position data based on the device's location and the spatial relationship.

Original Abstract Submitted
various implementations provide a method for determining position data of a first device relative to a three-dimensional (3d) representation during a communication session. for example, a 3d representation is determined by a first device to correspond to a current physical environment of the first device. then a spatial relationship is determined between the 3d representation and the current physical environment. then position data is determined to correspond to a position of the first device relative to the 3d representation and based on a location of the first device in the current physical environment and the spatial relationship between the 3d representation and the current physical environment. the position data is then provided during a communication session between the first device and a second device with a view of the 3d representation including a representation of a user of the first device presented to a user of the second device.
