STANDARDIZED AR INTERFACES FOR IOT DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302932 titled 'STANDARDIZED AR INTERFACES FOR IOT DEVICES
The abstract describes a patent application for an augmented reality (AR) device that is connected to an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The AR device receives standardized information from the IoT device, including device inputs and available output information. A predetermined AR user interface widget is selected based on the received IoT device information to convert user inputs on the AR device into device inputs for the IoT device. When the IoT device is selected on the AR device, the predetermined AR user interface widget is displayed as an overlay on the AR device's screen. User interactions with the AR user interface widget are sent to the IoT device in the expected input format.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced IoT Device Control with AR Technology This technology can be used in various industries such as smart home automation, industrial IoT applications, and healthcare monitoring systems to improve user interaction with IoT devices and enhance overall user experience.
Questions about AR and IoT Integration: 1. How does the AR device convert user inputs into device inputs for the IoT device? The AR device uses a predetermined user interface widget based on the received IoT device information to convert user inputs into the expected format for the IoT device.
2. What are the potential benefits of integrating AR technology with IoT devices? Integrating AR technology with IoT devices can lead to improved control and monitoring of IoT devices, as well as a simplified user interface for interacting with these devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
an augmented reality (ar) device is interfaced to an internet of things (iot) device by receiving iot device information in a standardized schema from the iot device. the iot device information includes device inputs and available output information for the iot device. a predetermined ar user interface widget to render for the iot device is determined from the received iot device information. the predetermined ar user interface widget converts user inputs to the ar device into the device inputs for the iot device. upon selection of the iot device by the ar device, the predetermined ar user interface widget for the selected iot device is provided to the ar device as an overlay on a display of the ar device. device input received in response to user interaction with the ar user interface widget is provided to the iot device in an input type expected by the iot device.
