Method and System for Disambiguation of Augmented Reality Tracking Databases
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a narrow pose of a mobile device in a sub-space of a large space for providing an augmented reality experience, the method comprising:
- receiving information about a unique characteristic of the sub-space of the large space, the information captured by the mobile device;
comparing the captured information to known unique characteristics stored in a tracking cue database;
determining, based on the comparing, a sub-space ID corresponding to the sub-space in which the mobile device is located;
disambiguating tracking cues within the tracking cue database to identify a subset of tracking cues corresponding to tracking cues within the sub-space;
inputting the subset of tracking cues to an augmented reality processor;
receiving images of the sub-space captured by the mobile device;
inputting the images into the augmented reality processor; and
determining, by the augmented reality processor, the narrow pose of the mobile device in the sub-space, using the inputted images and subset of tracking cues.

Abstract
A method and system for reducing the amount of processing that an augmented reality platform needs to perform in order to provide an augmented reality experience to a user. The present invention enhances the efficiency of augmented reality processing by reducing the amount of tracking cues and images that need to be processed to determine the narrow pose of a mobile device that outputs the augmented reality experience.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which when executed cause a processor to perform the actions of:
-
receiving information about a unique characteristic of the sub-space of the large space, the information captured by the mobile device; comparing the captured information to known unique characteristics stored in a tracking cue database; determining, based on the comparing, a sub-space ID corresponding to the sub-space in which the mobile device is located; disambiguating tracking cues within the tracking cue database to identify a subset of tracking cues corresponding to tracking cues within the sub-space; inputting the subset of tracking cues to an augmented reality processor; receiving images of the sub-space captured by the mobile device; inputting the images into the augmented reality processor; and determining, by the augmented reality processor, the narrow pose of the mobile device in the sub-space, using the inputted images and subset of tracking cues.
