Active fiducials for augmented reality
First Claim
1. A computer system for providing location-registered patterns for providing information regarding objects in an area, the computer system comprising:
- a. a memory for storing information, with the information regarding at least one object, and with the information including a location of each object;
b. a processor connected with the memory to retrieve at least a portion of the information regarding the object, including the location of the object, from the memory in preparation for transmission to the client system via a wireless communication module; and
c. a wireless communication module connected with the processor and configured to detect the presence of a compatible client system within a communication range of the wireless communication module, and if a compatible client system is detected, to transmit at least a portion of the information regarding the object, including the location of the object, from the computer system to the client system.

Abstract
The present invention provides active fiducials for use with augmented reality client systems. A computer system, a method, and a computer program product are presented, which provide location-registered patterns for providing information regarding objects in an area. The computer system comprises a memory for storing information regarding at least one object, the information including the location of an object. A processor is connected with the memory to retrieve a portion of the information, including the location of the object, from the memory for transmission to the client system via a wireless communication module which is connected with the processor and is configured to detect a compatible client system within communication range of the wireless communication module, and if a compatible client system is detected, to transmit a portion of the information regarding the object, including the location of the object, from the computer system to the client system.
