System and Method for Creating and Displaying Map Projections related to Real-Time Images
First Claim
1. A method for creating and displaying a map projection of a device'"'"'s real-time viewing area to depict virtual objects, the virtual objects providing a reflected view of real-time objects displayed within the device'"'"'s viewing area, the method comprising:
- displaying a real-time image of the device'"'"'s viewing area taken from a geographical location on a display;
retrieving the map projection for revealing the reflected view as an elevated view of a ground surface about the device'"'"'s current geographical location and in accordance with the device'"'"'s viewing area;
superimposing the map projection on the display and overlaid in an upper portion of the real-time image; and
defining one or more markers configured to show a relationship between the map projection and the real-time image, each marker overlaid on the display and configured to connect between the virtual object in the map projection and the corresponding real-time object on the real-time image.

18. A system for creating and displaying a map projection of a device'"'"'s real-time viewing area to depict virtual objects, the virtual objects providing a reflected view of real-time objects displayed within the device'"'"'s viewing area, the system comprising:
-
a visualization renderer for displaying a real-time image of the device'"'"'s viewing area taken from a geographical location on a display; an extraction module for retrieving the map projection for revealing the reflected view as an elevated view of a ground surface about the device'"'"'s current geographical location and in accordance with the device'"'"'s viewing area, the extraction module coupled to the visualization renderer for superimposing the map projection on the display and overlaid in an upper portion of the real-time image; an associations module coupled to the extraction module for defining one or more markers configured to show a relationship between the map projection and the real-time image; and a leader module coupled to the associations module for connecting each marker between the virtual object in the map projection and the corresponding real-time object on the real-time image, the leader module communicating with the visualization renderer for overlaying each marker on the display on top of the real-time image and the map projection. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
