First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- one or more processor circuits;
a memory that stores at least a first multi-directional picture; and
a picture capturing device, wherein the one or more processor circuits;
receive a user input indicating at least a direction of a second location of a represented object relative to a first location of the represented object;
guide the user to capture one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object using the picture capturing device;
generate a second multi-directional picture including the one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object;
add, to the first multi-directional picture, a link that points to the second multi-directional picture, wherein the link that points to the second multi-directional picture is determined at least based on the user input; and
cause the memory to store the second multi-directional picture.

15. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed by one or more processor circuits cause the one or more processor circuits to perform operations comprising:
-
accessing a memory that stores at least a first multi-directional picture; receiving a user input indicating at least a direction of a second location of a represented object relative to a first location of the represented object; guiding the user to capture one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object using a picture capturing device; generating a second multi-directional picture including the one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object; adding, to the first multi-directional picture, a link that points to the second multi-directional picture, wherein the link that points to the second multi-directional picture is determined at least based on the user input; and causing the memory to store the second multi-directional picture. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
(a) accessing a memory that stores at least a first multi-directional picture, the accessing of (a) performed by one or more processor circuits; (b) receiving a user input indicating at least a direction of a second location of a represented object relative to a first location of the represented object, the receiving of (b) performed by the one or more processor circuits; (c) guiding the user to capture one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object using a picture capturing device, the guiding of (c) performed by the one or more processor circuits; (d) generating a second multi-directional picture including the one or more pictures from the second location of the represented object, the generating of (d) performed by the one or more processor circuits; (e) adding, to the first multi-directional picture, a link that points to the second multi-directional picture, wherein the link that points to the second multi-directional picture is determined at least based on the user input, the adding of (e) performed by the one or more processor circuits; and (f) causing the memory to store the second multi-directional picture, the causing of (f) performed by the one or more processor circuits. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
