SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING OBJECT LOCATION IN AUGMENTED REALITY
First Claim
1. A method of displaying location information on a mobile device, the method comprising:
- displaying on the mobile device'"'"'s display an image captured using the mobile device'"'"'s camera;
receiving a first selection input to select a first object image of a first object shown in the image;
detecting a facing direction of the mobile device using the mobile device'"'"'s facing direction finder;
determining a bearing to the first object relative to the facing direction;
determining a distance between the mobile device and the first object;
displaying, overlaid on the image, at least a direction indicator of the first object and the distance between the mobile device and the first object, determined from at least the bearing.

Abstract
A system and a method are provided for displaying location information on a mobile device. The location information can include direction, distance, positional coordinates, etc. The mobile device'"'"'s display displays an image captured using the mobile device'"'"'s camera. A selection input is received to identify an object in the image. A facing direction of the mobile device is detected using the mobile device'"'"'s magnetometer. The mobile device determines a bearing to the object relative to the mobile device'"'"'s facing direction. The mobile device then determines a distance between the mobile device and the object. The obtained or computed location data is overlaid on the image, thereby augmenting the image. The location data can include at least a direction indicator of the object and the distance between the mobile device and the object, whereby the direction indicator can be determined using the bearing.

13. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a camera; a magnetometer; a display; an input device; and a processor coupled to the camera, a magnetometer, the display and the input device, the processor configured to; display on the display an image captured by the camera, upon receiving at the input device a first selection input selecting a first object image of a first object shown in the image; detect a facing direction of the mobile device using the magnetometer; determine a bearing to the first object relative to the facing direction; determine a distance between the mobile device and the first object, and display overlaid on the image, at least a direction indicator of the first object and the distance between the mobile device and the first object, determined from at least the bearing. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
