SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERACTING WITH VIRTUAL OBJECTS IN AUGMENTED REALITIES
First Claim
1. A mobile device for interacting with virtual objects in augmented realities, comprising:
- one or more location sensors configured to determine a location associated with the mobile device; and
a processor configured to;
communicate the location associated with the mobile device to an augmented reality server, wherein the augmented reality server correlates the location associated with the mobile device to one or more virtual objects;
receive, from the augmented reality server, data associated with the one or more virtual objects correlated to the location associated with the mobile device, wherein the data associated with the one or more virtual objects includes locations associated with the one or more virtual objects;
display, on the mobile device, an augmented reality that superimposes the one or more virtual objects over one or more images that represent physical surroundings associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more virtual objects are superimposed over the one or more images at the locations associated with the one or more virtual objects; and
process one or more requests to interact with the one or more virtual objects in the augmented reality using an augmented reality application.

Abstract
The system and method described herein may be used to interact with virtual objects in augmented realities. In particular, the system and method described herein may include an augmented reality server to host software that supports interaction with virtual objects in augmented realities on a mobile device through an augmented reality application. For example, the augmented reality application may be used to create and deploy virtual objects having custom designs and embedded content that can be shared with other users to any suitable location, similarly interact with virtual objects and embedded content that other users created and deployed using the augmented reality application, participate in games that involve interacting with the virtual objects, obtain incentives and targeted advertisements associated with the virtual objects, and engage in social networking to stay in touch with friends or meet new people via interaction with the virtual objects, among other things.

23. A method for interacting with virtual objects in augmented realities, comprising:
-
determining a location associated with a mobile device via one or more location sensors on the mobile device; communicating, by a processor on the mobile device, the location associated with the mobile device to an augmented reality server that correlates the location associated with the mobile device to one or more virtual objects; receiving, at the mobile device, data from the augmented reality server that relates to the one or more virtual objects correlated to the location associated with the mobile device, wherein the data that relates to the one or more virtual objects includes locations associated with the one or more virtual objects; displaying, on the mobile device, an augmented reality that superimposes the one or more virtual objects over one or more images that represent physical surroundings associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more virtual objects are superimposed over the one or more images at the locations associated with the one or more virtual objects; and processing one or more requests to interact with the one or more virtual objects in the augmented reality using an augmented reality application executing on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions for interacting with virtual objects in augmented realities, wherein executing the computer-readable instructions on a mobile device causes the mobile device to:
-
use one or more location sensors on the mobile device to determine a location associated with the mobile device; communicate the location associated with the mobile device to an augmented reality server, wherein the augmented reality server correlates the location associated with the mobile device to one or more virtual objects; receive, from the augmented reality server, data associated with the one or more virtual objects correlated to the location associated with the mobile device, wherein the data associated with the one or more virtual objects includes locations associated with the one or more virtual objects; display an augmented reality that superimposes the one or more virtual objects over one or more images that represent physical surroundings associated with the mobile device, wherein the one or more virtual objects are superimposed over the one or more images at the locations associated with the one or more virtual objects; and process one or more requests to interact with the one or more virtual objects in the augmented reality using an augmented reality application. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)
