METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AUGMENTED REALITY
First Claim
1. A method for providing Augmented Reality (AR), the method comprising:
- recognizing a first object-of-interest from first object information received from a terminal;
detecting identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the first object-of-interest;
storing the identification information and AR information about the related objects;
recognizing, if second object information is received from the terminal, a second object-of-interest from the second object information using the stored identification information about the related objects;
detecting AR information corresponding to the second object-of-interest from the stored AR information about the related objects; and
transmitting the detected AR information to the terminal.

Abstract
There is provided a method of providing Augmented Reality (AR) using the relationship between objects in a server that is accessible to at least one terminal through a wired/wireless communication network, including: recognizing a first object-of-interest from first object information received from the terminal; detecting identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the first object-of-interest, and storing the identification information and AR information about the related objects; recognizing, when receiving second object information from the terminal, a second object-of-interest using the identification information about the related objects; and detecting AR information corresponding to the second object-of-interest from the AR information about the related objects, and transmitting the detected AR information to the terminal.

9. A server to provide Augmented Reality (AR) information, the server comprising:
-
a communication unit to process signals received from and to be transmitted to a terminal; a full information storage to store identification information and AR information about an object; a related object information storage to store identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the object; and a controller to recognize a first object-of-interest from a first object information received from the terminal, to identify identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the first object-of-interest, to store the identification information and AR information about the related objects in the related object information storage, to recognize, if a second object information is received from the terminal, a second object-of-interest from the second object information using the stored identification information about the related objects, to detect an AR information corresponding to the second object-of-interest, and to transmit the AR information to the terminal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for providing Augmented Reality (AR), the method comprising:
-
acquiring first object information and transmitting the first object information to a server; receiving identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the first object information from the server; storing the identification information and AR information about the related objects; recognizing, if second object information is received, an object-of-interest from the second object information using the identification information about the related objects; detecting AR information corresponding to the object-of-interest recognized from the second object information; and outputting the detected AR information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 27)

22. A terminal to provide Augmented Reality (AR), the terminal comprising:
-
a communication unit to process signals received from and to be transmitted to a server through a wired/wireless communication network; an object information acquiring unit to acquire information about an object included in an image of a real environment; an output unit to output information obtained by synthesizing the information about the object with AR information about the object; a storage to store AR information corresponding to an object received from the server, and to store identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the object; and a controller to transmit first object information received from the object information acquiring unit to the server, to receive identification information and AR information about related objects associated with the first object information from the server, to store the identification information and AR information about the related objects in the storage, to recognize, if second object information is received from the object information acquiring unit, an object-of-interest from the second object information using the identification information about the related objects stored in the storage, to detect AR information corresponding to the object-of-interest, and to output the AR information through the output unit. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
