IMAGE MATCHING TO AUGMENT REALITY
First Claim
1. A method performed by a computing system for augmenting reality, comprising:
- receiving a captured image;
determining location information relating to the received image;
transmitting the location information to a server computing device;
receiving one or more tags from the server computing device, each tag including one or more patches and supplementary information corresponding to at least one of the patches, each patch associated with the location information;
determining using an image matching process whether at least one of the received one or more patches appears in the received image; and
if a patch appears in the received image, rendering the supplementary information corresponding to the patch.

Abstract
Technology for augmenting reality using image matching is described. The technology can receive a captured image, determine location information relating to the received image, and transmit the location information to a server computing device. The technology may then receive one or more tags from the server computing device, wherein each tag can include one or more patches and supplementary information corresponding to at least one of the patches and each patch can be associated with the location information. The technology can then determine using an image matching process whether at least one of the received one or more patches appears in the received image, and if a patch appears in the received image, render the supplementary information corresponding to the patch.

9. A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method for augmenting reality, the method comprising:
-
receiving a captured digital image that is digitized by an image capturing device; determining location information for the image capturing device at the time the image is digitized; transmitting the location information; receiving one or more tags; determining using an image matching process whether at least one of the tags includes a patch that appears in the captured digital image; and if a patch appears in the digital image, rendering supplementary information corresponding to the patch. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for augmenting reality, comprising:
-
a processor and memory; an image capturing component; a hardware component configured to detect position information when an image is captured by the image capturing component; a transceiver configured to transmit the position information and to receive a patch; and an imaging component configured to determine whether the received patch appears within the captured image and to render supplementary information if the received patch appears within the captured image. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
