Xiaomi has just been granted a new patent earlier this week. This new patent is related to AR (augmented reality) application, with the technology having product evaluation based capabilities.
As per an official listing on CNIPA, the Chinese tech giant was just granted a patent with the publication number being CN110264320B. The patent description can also be seen, which is for an “Information Display Method, Device and Storage Medium Based on Augmented Reality Equipment.” In simpler terms, the patent is for a new technology that is capable of displaying information based on augmented reality devices.
According to the patent, Xiaomi describes an AR device that displays evaluation based information of the targeted item in its field of view. This would let the device inform users of the supposed “pros and cons” of the items. If Xiaomi is actually working on such a system, it would expand the possible applications of augmented reality. While finer details aren’t specified, the patent does mention the basics of how this system will work.
The AR device will capture a targeted item through its camera module, after which, it will begin mapping the product and offer the users information based on the appearance of the item. So, we can expect this technology to be supplemented by object mapping systems that offer item identification capabilities to the device. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown if the company is actually working on such a system or covering all bases.
