Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure include a method for indicating a location of a first object by a wearable device. The method includes determining the first object; and, when a preset condition is satisfied, locating the first object and highlighting the first object on a display.

Claims

1. A method for indicating a location of a first object by a wearable device, the method comprising:

determining the first object; and

when a preset condition is satisfied, locating the first object and highlighting the first object on a display.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein determining the first object comprises:

recognizing a second object, and determining the first object by querying a pre-stored object association table according to information of the second object;

or

obtaining object information corresponding to time and/or location parameters according to pre-stored behavior information, and determining the first object by querying the pre-stored object association table according to the object information;

or

receiving information of a third object from an image recognition device, and determining the first object by querying the pre-stored object association table according to the information of the third object.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

receiving and saving the object association table, wherein the object association table comprises information regarding associations among various objects.

4. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

receiving behavior information through an input interface, and saving the behavior information;

or

generating the behavior information based on detected parameters, and saving the behavior information.

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising determining whether the preset condition is satisfied by performing one or more of:

determining a current time corresponds to a time recorded in the pre-stored behavior information;

or

determining a current location corresponds to a location recorded in the pre-stored behavior information.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising determining whether the preset condition is satisfied by performing one or more of:

determining whether an angle variation of the wearable device exceeds a preset angle threshold;

or

determining whether a function of highlighting the first object on the display is activated.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein highlighting the first object on the display comprises:

displaying the first object with a part or an entirety of the first object enlarged on the display;

or

displaying the first object in a flashing effect on the display.

8. A method for indicating a location of a first object, comprising:

obtaining, by a first device, information of a second object; and

sending the information of the second object to a second device, which is a wearable device, so that the wearable device determines the first object according to the information of the second object, locates the first object when a preset condition is satisfied, and highlights the first object on the display.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein obtaining information of the second object comprises:

scanning for a scanned object within a current view range of the first device;

determining whether information of the scanned object is in a pre-stored object information table; and

when the information of the scanned object is in the pre-stored object information table, determining the information of the scanned object as the information of the second object.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

receiving and saving the object information table, wherein the object information table comprises information of one or more objects associated with the first object.

11. A device for indicating a location of a first object, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to

determine the first object, and

when a preset condition is satisfied, locate the first object and highlight the first object on a display.

12. The device according to claim 11, wherein, when determining the first object, the processor is configured to

recognize a second object, and determine the first object by querying a pre-stored object association table according to information of the second object;

or

obtain object information corresponding to time and/or location parameters according to pre-stored behavior information, and determine the first object by querying the pre-stored object association table according to the object information;

or

receive information of a third object from an image recognition device, and determine the first object by querying the pre-stored object association table according to the information of the third object.

13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to

receive and save the object association table, wherein the object association table comprises information regarding associations among various objects.

14. The device according to claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to

receive behavior information through an input interface, and save the behavior information;

or

generate the user behavior information based on detected parameters, and save the use behavior information.

15. The device according to claim 14, wherein the processor is configured to

determine whether the preset condition is satisfied by performing one or more of

determining a current time corresponds to a time recorded in the pre-stored behavior information;

or

determining a current location corresponds to a location recorded in the pre-stored behavior information.

16. The device according to claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to

determine whether the preset condition is satisfied by performing one or more of

determining whether an angle variation of the wearable device exceeds a preset angle threshold;

or

determining whether a function of highlighting the first object on the display is activated.

17. The device according to claim 11, wherein, when highlighting the first object on the display, the processor is configured to:

display the first object with a part or an entirety of the first object enlarged on the display;

or

display the first object with a flashing effect on the display.

18. A device for indicating a location of a first object, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to

obtain information of a second object, and

send the information of the second object to a second device, which is a wearable device, so that the wearable device determines the first object according to the information of the second object, locates the first object when a preset condition is satisfied, and highlights the first object on a display.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a wearable device, causes the wearable device to perform a method for indicating a location of an object, the method comprising:

determining the object; and

when a preset condition is satisfied, locating the object and highlighting the object on a display.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of an image recognition device, causes the image recognition device to perform a method for indicating a location of a first object, the method comprising:

obtaining information of a second object; and

sending the information of the second object to a wearable device so that the wearable device determines the first object according to the information of the second object, locates the first object when a preset condition is satisfied, and highlights the first object on a display.
