As we all know, with the fire of the concept of the metaverse in recent years, AR technology, which is closely related to this concept, has also attracted more and more attention, prompting technological "big names" to accelerate industrial layout and technological research and development, aiming to occupy the commanding heights of the future industry. Among them, there are many domestic leading mobile phone manufacturer Huawei . At the moment when digital economy is accelerating its transformation, Huawei now attaches great importance to the research and development investment of cutting-edge digital technologies such as 5G and AR.
What is the meta universe and what is AR?
Simply put, meta-universe refers to a collection of virtual space-time and space. It is built by people in recent years using digital technology. It can be mapped from the real world or transcended the real world and interact with the real world. As for AR, it is actually the abbreviation of Augmented Reality in English, which refers to augmented reality technology. For example, the AR glasses launched by many manufacturers today can combine reality with virtuality, and its function is similar to that of a smartphone placed on glasses.
Huawei augmented reality communication method new patent was exposed
Recently, a new patent applied for by Huawei called "A method, device and system of augmented reality communication" was disclosed. According to the Tianyancha APP, the patent was officially applied by Huawei on March 27, 2021 and published on September 30, 2022.
The method includes establishing an auxiliary data channel between the terminal device and the AR media processing network element, and providing a target object to the terminal device through the auxiliary data channel for enhancing the media stream of AR communication between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, thereby effectively integrating AR into the voice and video call.
In addition, through the summary description of the content, we can learn that the method includes establishing an auxiliary data channel between the terminal device and the AR media processing network element, and providing a target object to the terminal device through the auxiliary data channel for enhancing the media stream of AR communication between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, thereby effectively integrating AR into the voice and video call.
In plain words, based on this patented technology, a third-party server can provide the material of the target object through the AR communication of the terminal device. For example, this patent can obtain virtual objects from the third-party server through the auxiliary data channel and provide them to the corresponding terminal device, thereby reducing the uplink bandwidth pressure of the terminal device.
