Abstract

An apparatus for providing standard real world to virtual world links may include a processing element configured to receive indications of an image including an object, determine whether the object corresponds to a particular object having a predefined association based on a recognition of the object, and execute a function corresponding to the predefined association in response to the object corresponding to the particular object.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

determining at least one point of interest based, at least in part, on position information of at least one mobile terminal;

causing, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one point of interest in an image of a field of view of the at least one mobile terminal;

determining an input for selecting the at least one point of interest; and

causing, at least in part, a generation of at least one invitation to a location associated with the at least one of interest.

2. A method comprising:

determining at least one point of interest based, at least in part, on position information of at least one mobile terminal;

causing, at least in part, a presentation of the at least one point of interest in an image of a field of view of the at least one mobile terminal;

determining an input for selecting the at least one point of interest; and

causing, at least in part, a presentation of parking information associated with the at least one point of interest.
