User-controlled linkage of information within an augmented reality system
First Claim
1. System comprising:
- a display unit displaying information, an image detection unit detecting objects in a field of vision of a user, a command detection unit detecting commands given by the user, and a control unit controlling the display unit, recognizing the objects detected by the image detection unit, and processing the commands of the user detected by the command detection unit, wherein the control unit further provides a linkage, controlled by the commands given by the user, between the displayed information and the contemporaneously detected objects.

Abstract
A system and a method for use, in particular, in an augmented reality environment, which improve the representation of information in terms of its user friendliness. The system includes a display unit (2) displaying information (3), an image detection unit (7) detecting objects (9) in a field of vision (8) of a user (1), a command detection unit (10) detecting the commands (4) given by the user (1), and a control unit (11) that controls the display unit (2), recognizes the objects (9) detected by the image detection unit (7) and processes the commands (4) of the user (1) detected by the command detection unit (10). The system additionally establishes a linkage between the displayed information (3) and the contemporaneously detected objects (9), wherein the linkage is controlled by the commands (4) given by the user (1).
