Systems and methods for shared creation of augmented reality
First Claim
1. A communications device configured to create and transmit augmented reality for separate recreation, the device comprising:
- a display;
a communications port;
a computer processor configured to,receive media that is ambient to the device at a location and is not from user input of the device,receive augmented reality information for performance of augmented reality at the location,receive location information identifying where the augmented reality may be performed at the location, andtransmit the augmented reality information and location information such that the augmented reality can be re-created by a receiver of the augmented reality information and the location information at the location.

Abstract
Methods, hardware, and software create augmented reality through several distinct users. Different users may select locations for the augmented reality creation and add augmented objects, elements, and other perceivables to underlying reality through separate communications devices. The users may interface with a GUI for augmenting underlying media, including use of several tools to add particular and separate augmented features. Users may take turns separately editing and adding augmented elements, and once the users are finished collaborating, the resulting augmented reality can be shared with others for re-creation and performance at the selected locations. Users may invite each other to collaborate on augmented reality through the GUI as well, potentially in a contact-based invitation method or any other known communication or chat configuration.

8. A method of creating augmented reality in a computer processor-based system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with the computer processor, media ambient to a first user at a location; receiving, with the computer processor, augmented reality information from a second user for performance of augmented reality at the location, wherein the first user captures the media on a first communications device and the second user inputs the augmented reality information on a second communications device independently operated from the first communications device; and transmitting, with the computer processor, the augmented reality information such that the augmented reality can be re-created by a receiver of the augmented reality information in similar media to the media ambient to the first user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of handling contextual augmented reality in a computer processor-based system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with the computer processor, augmented reality information and location information for the augmented reality information, wherein the augmented reality information and the location information are received from a first user communications device; comparing, with the computer processor, the location information with a location of a second user communications device, wherein the location of the second user communications device is based on a geographic position and a device orientation; and if the location information and the location of the second user communications device match based on the comparing, performing the augmented reality information in media received by the second communications device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
