Augmented reality quick-start and user guide
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a quick-start or user guide for a product, the method comprising:
- capturing, with a device comprising a display, an image of a product when the product appears within a field of view of the device;
obtaining, with the device, content comprising information associated with a first feature relevant to the product, in response to capturing the image of the product;
determining, with the device, a perspective of the display with respect to the product based on a skew of the image of the product for which the content to be displayed is obtained;
mapping, with the device, a 3D model of the product on the image of the product to identify components on the product within the field of view of the device based on the determined perspective;
displaying, with the device, the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on the display, wherein the image of the product itself defines context for obtaining the content and/or for displaying the content based on the mapping, such that the content aligns with the components identified in the field of view of the device;
highlighting, with the device, in the displayed augmented reality view one or more of the identified components in a sequence, wherein the sequence corresponds to an order in which the one or more identified components on the product can be manipulated to perform an operation with the product;
determining, with the device, if the product is no longer present within the field of view of the device; and
with the device, in response to determining that the product is no longer present in the field of view of the device, continuing the display of the content in the augmented reality view for a particular period of time, before disabling the display of the content.

17. A machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor to perform a method of providing a quick-start or user guide for a product, the method comprising:
-
capturing, with a device comprising a display, an image of a product when the product appears within a field of view of the device; obtaining, with the device, content comprising information associated with a first feature relevant to the product, when the product appears within a field of view of the device; determining, with the device, a perspective of the display with respect to the product based on a skew of the image of the product for which the content to be displayed is obtained; mapping, with the device, a 3D model of the product on the image of the product to identify a component on the product within the field of view of the device based on the determined perspective; displaying, with the device, the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on the display, wherein the image of the product itself defines context for obtaining the content and/or for displaying the content based on the mapping, such that the content aligns with the components identified in the field of view of the device; highlighting, with the device in the displayed augmented reality view one or more of the identified components in a sequence, wherein the sequence corresponds to an order in which the one or more identified components on the product can be manipulated to perform an operation with the product; determining, with the device, if the product is no longer present within the field of view of the device; and with the device, in response to determining that the product is no longer present in the field of view of the device, continuing the display of the content in the augmented reality view for a particular period of time, before disabling the display of the content. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A device comprising:
-
a display; a processor; and a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to provide a quick-start or user guide for a product, which program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to; capture, with the device, an image of a product when the product appears within a field of view of the device; obtain, with the device, content comprising information associated with a first feature relevant to the product when the product appears within a field of view of the device; determine, with the device, a perspective of the display with respect to the product based on a skew of the image of the product for which the content to be displayed is obtained; map, with the device, a 3D model of the product on the image of the product to identify a component on the product within the field of view of the device based on the determined perspective; display, with the device, the content in an augmented reality view of the product by overlaying the content on the image of the product on the display, wherein the image of the product itself defines context for obtaining the content and/or for displaying the content based on the mapping, such that the content aligns with the components identified in the field of view of the display device; highlight, with the device, in the displayed augmented reality view one or more of the identified components in a sequence, wherein the sequence corresponds to an order in which the one or more identified components on the product can be manipulated to perform an operation with the product; determine, with the device, if the product is no longer present within the field of view of the device; and with the device, in response to determining that the product is no longer present in the field of view of the device, continuing the display of the content in the augmented reality view for a particular period of time, before disabling the display of the content. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
