Apple's new patented iPhone may use augmented reality navigation in the future

Tencent Digital (Compilation: Guti) This week, Apple’s patent for a new Augmented Reality Map Mapping passed the approval of the US Patent and Trademark Office. This patent can use the iPhone to broadcast live augmented reality video, and insiders said that Apple will Add a platform-level augmented reality service to iOS.

The Patent No. 9488488 of this patent, entitled "Augmented Reality Map", mainly introduces a map mapping using the iPhone's built-in sensor to provide the user with the current map point of view of the augmented reality environment.

This patent can mark digital information in some real-life scenarios, such as street names, points of interest, etc., can be scanned by the camera, and even more complex operations like GPS navigation can be achieved. For example, after the user opens the main camera of the iPhone and turns on the augmented reality technology through a map navigation application, the system will automatically read related data from the sensor, including a built-in gyroscope, a digital compass, an accelerometer, etc., and also integrate the iPhone. GPS positioning data, including tilt and angular alignment.

After using the collected information, the application can intelligently select the approximate scene and bring the live broadcast function, and adopt the first person perspective. This patent is mainly uploaded through captured images or video, and then downloaded augmented reality mapping information through an off-line server.

For example, through some simple identification of POIs, such as the names of buildings and monuments, and then using more sophisticated algorithms of the system, Apple will analyze the routes through interactive parties and then view the contents of the scene in real time. At the same time, the method can also remind the user after the cloud data is extracted which way is a single line.

According to the positioning of the device, the system can also switch from the first person view to the bird's-eye view, and seamlessly switch from the augmented reality reality technology to an ordinary map mode.

The patent apple filed an application as early as 2011, and the USPTO did not approve it until five years later. It seems that Apple's construction of a patent is indeed very complicated, but Apple will integrate the patent into iOS in a specific form in the future. Not sure in the system. Apple CEO Cook once said at the investor conference that Apple is very interested in augmented reality technology. Therefore, the appearance of such a patent is normal.

At present, in the fields of augmented reality and virtual reality, Apple's progress has obviously lagged behind competitors such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. Many insiders analyze that Apple will enter the AR/VR field through a very unique form. Including Apple's recent acquisition of Flyby Media, it also shows that Apple has actually started to move.

In addition, this iPhone-based augmented reality map service will have a deeper meaning if it can be integrated into the vehicle head-up display function in the future. Not long ago, famous analyst Guo Mingchi said that Apple has begun to develop augmented reality technology in the field of autopilot technology.

The patent was filed in February 2010 and the patent inventor was Jaron Waldman.
