System, device, and method of augmented reality based mapping of a venue and navigation within a venue

This invention describes a system that uses pictures taken by shoppers' phones to create a real-time map of a retail store, showing where products are actually located on shelves. It then guides users with turn-by-turn directions to find items and displays augmented reality promotions on their devices. The system relies on combining computer vision analysis of these images with various wireless signals like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for accurate mapping and user location.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in mobile computer vision and AI models have significantly improved the accuracy and efficiency of real-time object recognition and spatial mapping on consumer devices. This makes the crowd-sourced data analysis and sensor fusion described in the claims more feasible and robust today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, computer vision, sensor fusion.
