This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,879.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

This inventive concept integrates visual search technology with distinct technologies like AI, IoT, blockchain, and new materials to create a more powerful system for launching computer applications securely and efficiently.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent described a method for launching computer applications using visual identifiers. However, it lacked robust security measures and limited user experience. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by combining visual search with advanced technologies to provide a secure, personalized, and efficient application launching experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The synergistic visual search system comprises a visual identifier generator, an AI-generated metadata encoder, an IoT-based device verification module, a blockchain-based authentication module, and an AR-compatible visual search module. The system generates unique visual identifiers for computer applications, which are then encoded with AI-generated metadata. Upon performing a visual search, the system verifies the computing device using IoT-based sensor data and blockchain-based authentication. The system can also integrate with augmented reality and new materials-based wearable devices for enhanced security and user experience.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept introduces a synergistic combination of visual search with AI, IoT, blockchain, and new materials, providing a secure, efficient, and personalized application launching experience. The integration of these technologies is novel and non-obvious compared to the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include integrating visual search with other distinct technologies like cloud computing, 5G networks, or biometric authentication. Variations could include using different types of visual identifiers, such as QR codes or facial recognition, or incorporating additional security measures like two-factor authentication.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The synergistic visual search system has significant commercial potential in various industries, including gaming, social media, and e-commerce. It can provide a competitive edge to companies by offering a secure, efficient, and personalized application launching experience, enhancing user engagement and loyalty.
