Abstract

A content delivery system includes: a registration module configured to identify a registration type for calibrating a current location of a device; a tracker module, coupled to the registration module, configured to track a subject of interest based on a context; a source module, coupled to the tracker module, configured to determine an information source based on the registration type; and a content module, coupled to the source module, configured to generate an overlay content based on the information source for displaying the overlay content for the subject of interest on the device.

Claims

1. A content delivery system comprising:

a registration module configured to identify a registration type for calibrating a current location of a device;

a tracker module, coupled to the registration module, configured to track a subject of interest based on a context;

a source module, coupled to the tracker module, configured to determine an information source based on the registration type; and

a content module, coupled to the source module, configured to generate an overlay content based on the information source for displaying the overlay content for the subject of interest on the device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an identifier module, coupled to the registration module, configured to identify the subject of interest based on the context for tracking the subject of interest for a situation type.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the registration module is configured to identify the registration type based on an orientation for identifying the device relative to a location marker.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the source module is configured to determine the information source based on a social status for filtering an audience type of the information source.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the source module is configured to determine the information source based on a subject location of the subject of interest for filtering an audience type of the information source.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a context module, coupled to the registration module, configured to determine a context based on an environmental condition.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the source module is configured to update the information source based on a status change of the subject of interest.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the content module is configured to generate the overlay content based on the registration type for filtering the audience type of the information source.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the tracker module is configured to track the subject of interest based on an organization status of the subject of interest.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 wherein the tracker module is configured to detect a status change based on the context for tracking the subject of interest.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising identifying the subject of interest based on the context for tracking the subject of interest for a situation type.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein identifying the registration type includes identifying the registration type based on an orientation for identifying the device relative to a location marker.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the information source includes determining the information source based on a social status for filtering an audience type of the information source.

15. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein determining the information source includes determining the information source based on a subject location of the subject of interest for filtering an audience type of the information source.

11. A method of operation of a content delivery system comprising:

identifying a registration type for calibrating a current location of a device;

tracking a subject of interest based on a context;

determining an information source based on the registration type; and

generating an overlay content based on the information source with a control unit for displaying the overlay content for the subject of interest on the device.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

determining a context based on an environmental condition;

identifying a registration type for calibrating a current location of a device;

tracking a subject of interest based on the context;

determining an information source based on the registration type; and

generating an overlay content based on the information source with a control unit for displaying the overlay content for the subject of interest on the device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising updating the information source based on a status change of the subject of interest.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein generating the overlay content includes generating the overlay content based on the registration type for filtering the audience type of the information source.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 wherein tracking the subject of interest includes tracking the subject of interest based on an organization status of the subject of interest.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium as claimed in claim 16 further comprising detecting a status change based on the context for tracking the subject of interest.
