## Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method for human-machine interaction and an apparatus for the same. The method includes receiving object identification input for identifying an object related to the task to be dictated to a machine through the I/O interface of a user device that displays a 3D space; displaying an object identification visual interface, corresponding to the object identified within the space recognized by the machine, on the user device in an augmented-reality manner; receiving position identification input for identifying a position in the 3D space related to the task; displaying a position identification visual interface, corresponding to the position identified within the space recognized by the machine, on the user device in an augmented-reality manner; and receiving information related to the result of the task performed through the machine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for human-machine interaction, comprising:
receiving object identification input for identifying an object related to a task to be dictated to a machine through an I/O interface of a user device that displays a 3D space;
displaying an object identification visual interface, corresponding to the object identified within a space recognized by the machine, on the user device in an augmented-reality manner;
receiving position identification input for identifying a position in the 3D space related to the task;
displaying a position identification visual interface, corresponding to the position identified within the space recognized by the machine, on the user device in an augmented-reality manner; and
receiving information related to a result of the task performed through the machine.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the object identification visual interface includes posture information displayed within a preset area from a center of the identified object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the posture information includes information about an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis corresponding to a 3D posture of the object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the position identification visual interface includes peripheral information displayed within a preset area from the identified position and corresponding to a peripheral object located at the position.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the peripheral information is generated based on properties of the peripheral object.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the properties of the peripheral object include one or more of a posture and a material of the peripheral object.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the position is identified differently depending on a type of the identified object.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein the peripheral information is generated differently depending on a type of the identified object.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, further comprising:
displaying task visual feedback related to the task, which is identified based on the object and the position, on the user device in an augmented-reality manner.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the object identification visual interface includes information about a path along which the identified object is able to move within the 3D space.

### Claim 11

A user device, comprising:
one or more processors; and
executable memory for storing at least one program executed by the one or more processors,
wherein the at least one program is configured to:
receive object identification input for identifying an object related to a task to be dictated to a machine through an I/O interface that displays a 3D space,
