METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING SUGGESTED INFORMATION LAYERS IN AUGMENTED REALITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- facilitating provision of a plurality of layers of information, the layers of information relate in part to one or more items of virtual information corresponding to information indicative of a current location of an apparatus;
determining that at least one of the layers of information is enabled to provide one or more items of virtual information for display, the items of virtual information correspond to locations of real world objects in or proximate to the current location;
determining whether one or more other information layers of the layers are associated with content for the current location based on a determination that the number of items of virtual information for the enabled layer of information is below a predetermined threshold; and
automatically suggesting one or more of the other layers of information for selection.

Abstract
An apparatus for automatically suggesting information layers in augmented reality may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including providing layers of information relating to virtual information corresponding to information indicating a current location of the apparatus. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine that a layer(s) of information is enabled to provide virtual information for display. The virtual information corresponds to locations of real world objects in or proximate to the current location. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to determine other information layers associates with content for the current location based on the number of items virtual information for the enabled layer being below a threshold and automatically suggest one or more other layers of information for selection. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; facilitate provision of a plurality of layers of information, the layers of information relate in part to one or more items of virtual information corresponding to information indicative of a current location of the apparatus; determine that at least one of the layers of information is enabled to provide one or more items of virtual information for display, the items of virtual information correspond to locations of real world objects in or proximate to the current location; determine whether one or more other information layers of the layers are associated with content for the current location based on a determination that the number of items of virtual information for the enabled layer of information is below a predetermined threshold; and automatically suggest one or more of the other layers of information for selection. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
program code instructions for facilitating provision of a plurality of layers of information, the layers of information relate in part to one or more items of virtual information corresponding to information indicative of a current location of an apparatus; program code instructions for determining that at least one of the layers of information is enabled to provide one or more items of virtual information for display, the items of virtual information correspond to locations of real world objects in or proximate to the current location; program code instructions for determining whether one or more other information layers of the layers are associated with content for the current location based on a determination that the number of items of virtual information for the enabled layer of information is below a predetermined threshold; and program code instructions for automatically suggesting one or more of the other layers of information for selection. - View Dependent Claims (20)
