Application: User location determination based on object interactions (Patent ID: US20240212201A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a method and system for determining a user's location within a physical environment using an object relationship model and sensor data. The process involves obtaining the object relationship model representing positional relationships between objects in the environment, obtaining sensor data, detecting user interactions with objects based on the sensor data, and determining the user's location based on the object's location. The interactions can include contact, position, orientation, gaze, time period, and distance between the user and the object. The sensor data can include image, motion, and audio data collected from various sensors. The system can be implemented in head-mounted or mobile devices, providing content based on the user's location within the environment.
The patent also covers the generation of the object relationship model based on sensor data obtained during a scanning process, which includes depth data and light intensity image data. The model can include semantic data with labels identifying walls, objects, and classifications within the environment. Additionally, the patent describes the identification of objects and determination of their locations within the physical environment for accurate user location tracking. The system can provide visual content to the user based on their location within the environment, enhancing user experience and interaction with the surroundings.
