The patent application introduces a system that uses extended reality (XR) to simulate network user devices through virtual models within a real-time capture of a physical environment. This system enhances the XR experience by layering the virtual model of a simulated device in relation to the user's digits, creating an immersive experience as if the user is holding the simulated device. The system tracks the user's finger movements to allow virtual inputs, which can change the content displayed on the virtual model. Additionally, device specification information is displayed within the XR experience, allowing users to make informed decisions about devices available on a telecommunication network.
Telecommunication networks offer various models of user devices that differ in technical specifications and network service capabilities. Users need suitable devices for their specific needs and network compatibility. The patent addresses the necessity for network subscribers to explore and choose suitable devices efficiently as networks evolve and existing devices become obsolete or less functional.
The disclosed system allows network subscribers to virtually interact with and simulate different device models using XR technology. This interaction occurs on a peer device currently operated by the subscriber. The XR-based modeling enables users to compare devices, assess their suitability for specific uses, and understand their physical characteristics and user interfaces. The system provides a comprehensive solution for subscribers needing to research, identify, and acquire new mobile phones or other devices as telecommunications infrastructure advances.
The system operates within a wireless telecommunication network comprising various network access nodes (NANs) like base stations and core networks. These components facilitate communication services such as 4G LTE/LTE-A and 5G, supporting different connectivity standards and geographic coverage areas. The network includes macro cells and small cells, providing diverse service environments suitable for IoT, mobile broadband, and other applications.
Wireless devices integrated into this network can range from smartphones and laptops to wearables and IoT appliances. These devices communicate with base stations through various channels, ensuring connectivity across different geographic regions. The patent emphasizes the flexibility of these wireless devices in adapting to evolving telecommunication technologies while maintaining robust connectivity for diverse user needs.
