The real object captured by the depth camera is the environment where a user wearing the HMD is located.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Anton Mikhailov, Xiadong Mao

Patent number: 11508098Abstract: A supervisory computer vision (CV) system may include a secondary CV system running in parallel with a native CV system on a mobile device. The secondary CV system is configured to run less frequently than the native CV system. CV algorithms are then run on these less-frequent sample images, generating information for localizing the device to a reference point cloud (e.g., provided over a network) and for transforming between a local point cloud of the native CV system and the reference point cloud. AR content may then be consistently positioned relative to the convergent CV system's coordinate space and visualized on a display of the mobile device. Various related algorithms facilitate the efficient operation of this system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: YouAR INC.Inventors: Oliver Clayton Daniels, George Howard Alexander Blikas

Patent number: 11504624Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a movement of a virtual object in AR, and a terminal are provided. The method includes: a virtual moving area is generated within a current image capture range of a control device; a virtual object is generated in the virtual moving area; and a position of a virtual identifier in the virtual moving area is adjusted according to a real movement of the control device, and the virtual object is guided to virtually move according to the position of the virtual identifier. The present disclosure solves a technical problem in the related art that a joystick-based racing control mode provided in an AR scene is complex and game experience is poor.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: NETEASE (HANGZHOU) NETWORK CO., LTD.Inventor: Hua Rong

Patent number: 11508151Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for depicting information about a vehicle in augmented reality. An exemplary method may include determining identification information of a vehicle based on input received from a client device and obtaining, from an information source, vehicle information based on the identification information. The method may also include analyzing the vehicle information using an artificial intelligence engine and extracting vehicle history data from the vehicle information based on the analysis. The method may also include identifying a portion of the vehicle associated with the vehicle history data and providing instructions, based on the vehicle history data, to an augmented reality-enabled device to superimpose an indicator on a visual representation of the vehicle at a location corresponding to the portion of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Satish Chikkaveerappa, Liju Mathews, Ponnazhakan Subramanian

Patent number: 11507246Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for dynamically showing a virtual boundary, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium thereof. The method includes: obtaining a virtual scene boundary of a virtual reality (VR) environment; determining a distance threshold based on a moving speed of a specific element of a VR system, wherein the specific distance threshold is positively related to the moving speed of the specific element; monitoring a specific distance between the specific element and the virtual scene boundary of the VR environment; in response to determining that the specific distance is smaller than the distance threshold, showing the virtual scene boundary of the VR environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Yen-Hung Lin, Ying-Jing Wang

Patent number: 11500660Abstract: A system is provided for recommending guidance instructions to a user. The system includes a memory having computer readable instructions and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions. The computer readable instructions control the processor to perform operations of monitoring an ongoing task comprising at least one act performed by a user, generating image data depicting the ongoing task, and displaying the ongoing task based on the image data. The system analyzes the ongoing task and generates an augmented image. The augmented image is overlaid on the image data so that the augmented image is displayed simultaneously with the ongoing task to direct the user to progress the ongoing task.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Shikhar Kwatra, Sarbajit K. Rakshit, Jeremy R. Fox

Patent number: 11495001Abstract: A system of properly displaying chroma key content is presented. The system obtains a digital representation of a 3D environment, for example a digital photo, and gathers data from that digital representation. The system renders the digital representation in an environmental model and displays that digital representation upon an output device. Depending upon the context, content anchors of the environmental model are selected which will be altered by suitable chroma key content. The chroma key content takes into consideration the position and orientation of the chroma key content relative to the content anchor and relative to the point of view that the environmental model is displayed from in order to accurately display chroma key content in a realistic manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: NANTMOBILE, LLCInventors: Evgeny Dzhurinskiy, Ludmila Bezyaeva
