Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a system for presenting augmented reality technology (AR) content, relates to the field of virtual reality technology, and solves a problem in the prior art that a user terminal may run into an error when receiving point of interest information because the user terminal does not have a capability required for presenting AR content in the point of interest information. The technical solution includes: obtaining point of interest information, where the point of interest information includes AR content and capability information corresponding to a capability required for presenting the AR content; querying, according to the capability information, whether a user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content.

Claims

1. A method for presenting augmented reality technology (AR) content, comprising:

obtaining point of interest information, wherein the point of interest information comprises an AR content and a capability information corresponding to a capability required for presenting the AR content;

querying, according to the capability information, whether a user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content; and

either hiding the AR content;

or

obtaining the capability for presenting the AR content when the user terminal does not have the capability for presenting the AR content.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the capability information comprises:

a device capability information corresponding to a device capability for presenting the AR content, wherein the user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content when at least one of the following occurs;

having the device capability that is required for presenting the AR content, where the device capability is enabled and having the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the querying, according to the capability information, whether the user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content comprises at least one of the following:

querying, according to the device capability information, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content and whether the device capability is enabled and querying, according to the rendering capability information, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the device capability information comprises a device capability identifier, wherein the querying, according to the device capability information, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content and whether the device capability is enabled comprises querying, according to the device capability identifier and a device capability interface of the user terminal, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content, and determining whether the device is enabled, and wherein the method further comprises:

hiding the AR content when the user terminal does not have the device capability;

hiding the AR content when the user terminal has the device capability and the device capability is not enabled; and

automatically enabling the device capability.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein the rendering capability information comprises a rendering capability identifier and a remote rendering capability information that corresponds to the rendering capability, wherein the remote rendering capability information comprises an address of a remote rendering server, wherein the querying, according to the rendering capability information, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content comprises querying, according to the rendering capability identifier, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content, and wherein the method further comprises:

hiding the AR content when the user terminal does not have the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the capability information comprises:

a rendering capability information corresponding to a rendering capability for presenting the AR content, wherein the user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content when at least one of the following occurs;

having the device capability that is required for presenting the AR content, where the device capability is enabled and having the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

12. The method according to claim 3, wherein the device capability information comprises a device capability identifier, wherein the querying, according to the device capability information, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content and whether the device capability is enabled comprises querying, according to the device capability identifier and a device capability interface of the user terminal, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content, and determining whether the device is enabled, and wherein the method further comprises:

hiding the AR content when the user terminal does not have the device capability;

hiding the AR content when the user terminal has the device capability and the device capability is not enabled; and

generating a prompt information to prompt the user terminal to enable the device capability.

13. The method according to claim 3, wherein the rendering capability information comprises a rendering capability identifier and a remote rendering capability information that corresponds to the rendering capability, wherein the remote rendering capability information comprises an address of a remote rendering server, wherein the querying, according to the rendering capability information, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content comprises querying, according to the rendering capability identifier, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content, and wherein the method further comprises:

obtaining, through the address of the remote rendering server, the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

6. A user terminal, comprising:

an obtaining unit configured to obtain point of interest information, wherein the point of interest information comprises an augmented reality technology (AR) content and a capability information corresponding to a capability required for presenting the AR content;

a querying unit configured to query, according to the capability information, whether a user terminal has the capability required for presenting the AR content; and

a processing unit configured to either hide the AR content or obtain the capability required for presenting the AR content when the user terminal does not have the capability required for presenting the AR content.

7. The user terminal according to claim 6, wherein the capability information comprises:

a device capability information corresponding to a device capability for the following;

presenting the AR content and rendering capability information corresponding to a rendering capability required for presenting the AR content, and wherein the querying unit comprises at least one of the following;

a first querying module configured to query, according to the device capability information, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content and whether the device capability is enabled; and

a second querying unit configured to query, according to the rendering capability information, whether the user terminal has the rendering capability required for presenting the AR content.

8. The user terminal according to claim 7, wherein the device capability information comprises a device capability identifier, wherein the first querying module comprises a first querying sub-module configured to:

query, according to the device capability identifier and a device capability interface of the user terminal, whether the user terminal has the device capability required for presenting the AR content, and determine whether the device is enabled; and

wherein the processing unit comprises;

a first processing module configured to hide the AR content when the user terminal does not have the device capability; and

a second processing module configured to;

hide the AR content when the user terminal has the device capability and the device capability is not enabled, and either automatically enable the device capability or generate a prompt information to prompt the user terminal to enable the device capability.
