AUTONOMOUS DRIVING DEVICE FOR PROVIDING VISUALIZED VIRTUAL GUIDE INFORMATION, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREFOR

Smart overview of the Invention

The autonomous driving device is designed to provide visualized virtual guide information using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR). It features an input unit capable of recognizing and receiving voice and motion data from objects. This data is processed by a voice analysis unit and an image analysis unit to extract feature values. These values are interpreted by a determination unit, which then identifies corresponding feedback information. The virtualization unit generates or receives visual guide information, offering an interactive and immersive user experience.

Technical Context

In recent years, robots have evolved beyond industrial applications to become part of everyday environments, such as offices and public spaces. Traditional guidance systems, like kiosks or staffed information centers, require users to locate these points of service, which can be inefficient. The proposed device addresses these limitations by autonomously providing guidance throughout large and complex areas, such as department stores or exhibitions, without the need for stationary guidance points.

Solution Details

The device incorporates several advanced components: an autonomous driving unit for navigation, a sensor unit for environmental awareness, and a communication module for interaction with external servers. It can autonomously travel within a designated area to approach users when specific sounds or motions are detected. The sensor unit includes various technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and motion sensors to accurately determine the device's location and respond to user movements.

Operational Methodology

The operating method involves receiving voice and motion inputs from users, analyzing these inputs to extract feature values, and determining the appropriate feedback information. This feedback is then communicated through visual guide information in AR or VR formats. The device is capable of updating and learning new guide information from external sources, enhancing its ability to provide accurate and relevant guidance.

Benefits

Utilizing this autonomous driving device allows for the integration of geographic location guidance with virtual content, enhancing user engagement and efficiency. It reduces the need for physical guidance infrastructure and personnel, offering a scalable solution that can adapt to various environments. By providing real-time visual guide information, it significantly improves user mobility and accessibility in complex spaces.
