Personal device with image-acquisition functions for the application of augmented reality resources and method
First Claim
1. A personal device with image-acquisition functions for the application of augmented reality resources, comprising:
- a first image-acquisition unit;
at least one display screen able to display therein at least acquired images acquired by said first unit;
a connection with a second unit suitable for;
processing one or more of said acquired images for the identification of at least one pattern;
calculating a positional reference vector, with respect to said first image-acquisition unit, of the identified pattern; and
providing information associated to said acquired image that is able to generate a suitably dimensioned image or set of images, taking into account said positional reference vector, suitable for being superimposed, on said display screen, over said acquired image.

Abstract
The invention relates to a personal device with image-acquisition functions. The device comprises a first image-acquisition unit; a display screen able to display therein acquired images acquired by said first unit; a connection with a second unit suitable for: processing said acquired images for the identification of a pattern; calculating a positional reference vector, with respect to said first image-acquisition unit, of the identified pattern; and providing information, associated to said acquired image, that is able to generate a suitably dimensioned image, or set of images, taking into account said positional reference vector, suitable for being superimposed on said display screen over said acquired image or for substituting it. The method comprises using a device as the proposed for the application of augmented reality resources.

29. A method for the application of augmented reality resources, comprising, by means of a personal device with image-acquisition functions, comprising:
-
acquiring at least one image by means of a first unit, displaying said at least one acquired image on a display screen of said device, sending said acquired image to a second unit, in said second unit, at least;
processing one or more of said acquired images for the identification of at least one pattern, calculating a positional reference vector, with respect to said first image-acquisition unit, of the identified pattern, providing information associated to said acquired image that is able to generate a suitably dimensioned image, or set of images, taking into account said positional reference vector, suitable for being superimposed, on said display screen, over said acquired image, and displaying on said display screen said suitably dimensioned image, or set of images, superimposed over the acquired image. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, 40)

36. A method for the application of augmented reality resources, comprising, by means of a personal device with image-acquisition functions, carrying out the following steps:
-
acquiring at least one image by means of a first unit, displaying said at least one acquired image on a display screen of said device, sending said acquired image to a second unit, in said second unit, at least;
processing one or more of said acquired images for the identification of at least one pattern, providing information associated to said acquired image that is able to generate a suitably dimensioned image, or set of images, suitable for being superimposed, on said display screen, over said acquired image, and displaying on said display screen said suitably dimensioned image, or set of images, superimposed over the acquired image. - View Dependent Claims (37, 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
