In addition to the patent protection of the hardware for lens-free smart glasses, a portfolio of patents protects the method of presenting real-time insights about what we see or hear. The following sections outline detailed information regarding the intellectual property protections associated with the AnnotiQ Smart Glasses method. These protections encompass functionalities related to providing or receiving insights, feedback, or annotations pertaining to visual objects, voices, sounds, or music.
Any visual, auditory, or digital information that can be identified, processed, or analyzed by a computer program falls within the scope of AnnotiQ's issued patents. This includes, but is not limited to, the following categories:
This category encompasses a wide range of items that can be identified by object recognition programs, including but not limited to:
Facial recognition software can be used to tag or annotate individuals' faces for purposes such as biometric identification.
Voice recognition technology can tag or annotate individuals' voices for accurate identification using voice biometrics.
In scenarios where facial recognition is impractical, body recognition software can tag or annotate individuals' bodies for identification purposes.
Live events, such as sports matches, concerts, meetings, and other activities, can be recognized and annotated in real-time.
Musical compositions, including songs and instrumental pieces in formats such as live performances, digital files, or streaming media, can be recognized and analyzed using audio recognition technology.
Printed or digital text, whether displayed on electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, computers) or found in physical formats (e.g., books, magazines, newspapers), can be recognized and processed using optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
Charts, graphs, and infographics can be analyzed and annotated to emphasize key data points, trends, or insights.
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) elements, including 3D models, icons, QR codes, and other digital assets, can be recognized, tagged, and annotated for interactive or virtual applications.
These categories represent examples of information and objects that fall under the protections of AnnotiQ's issued patents, illustrating the broad applicability of the patented technologies.
Various forms of annotations are encompassed within the protections of AnnotiQ's issued patents. The primary or most commonly utilized annotation types include:
Text annotation is one of the most prevalent and versatile forms of annotation, adaptable across multiple devices. On smart glasses, annotations are often created through voice input, which is automatically converted into text. On smartphones or tablets, text annotations can be manually entered through typing, offering flexibility for diverse use cases.
Image annotation is particularly valuable for capturing and sharing unique visual perspectives. In this form, images are displayed as overlays on objects viewed through smart glasses, enhancing the visual context. These annotations can also include supplementary descriptive text to provide additional details or insights.
Video annotation serves as a powerful tool for capturing and sharing dynamic moments. This form is especially useful during events such as sports games, where viewers can record key moments from various locations or angles. The resulting annotated videos provide a rich, multi-perspective record of the event and can be shared to enhance collective experiences.
Voice annotation is utilized in scenarios where the tone, emotion, or nuance of the speaker adds critical value to the annotation. This method is particularly effective for conveying context, intent, or emphasis that may not be fully captured through text. It also provides a convenient alternative for users who prefer non-text-based annotations due to time constraints, accessibility considerations, or personal preference.
These annotation types represent examples of the methods protected under AnnotiQ's patents, demonstrating the wide-ranging applications of its innovative technologies.
AnnotiQ technology covers a broad spectrum of applications and use cases, all of which are protected under its issued patents. The following is a non-exhaustive list of these applications.
