Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for presenting digital content in a field of view of a head-worn computer.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

a. Establishing a plurality of content presentation settings wherein each of the plurality of settings includes an indication of a physical location where a recipient desires a type of digital content to be presented in the recipient'"'"'s head-worn see-through display; and

b. Presenting content intended for delivery to the recipient when data indicates that the head-worn see-through display is proximate one of the plurality of physical locations when the content type corresponds to the type of digital content to be presented at the physical location based on the content presentation setting.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of content presentation settings was established through the recipient'"'"'s selections on a settings user interface.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of content presentation settings was established based on the recipient'"'"'s prior interactions with digital content.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the presented content relates to the physical location where presentation is made.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the presented content does not relate to the physical location where presentation is made.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication of physical location includes a geo-spatial location and an object attribute type.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the object attribute type is a specific object'"'"'s attribute.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting the content when data indicates that the head-worn see-through display is sight heading aligned with a selected object attribute.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting the content when data indicates that the head-worn see-through display is eye heading aligned with a selected object attribute.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an indication that the recipient has selected the content with an external user interface to re-position the digital content.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of presenting further includes identifying a potentially obstructive view object and altering the content to indicate the potentially obstructive view.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of presenting further includes altering a position of the presentation based on sensor feedback.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the sensor feedback is indicative of the user moving forward.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting based on the recipient'"'"'s personal information.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of presenting further includes presenting based on a sender'"'"'s location specific presentation request.
