DIRECTIONAL AND X-RAY VIEW TECHNIQUES FOR NAVIGATION USING A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of generating one or more augmented views, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image of a scene disposed within a geographic area of interest including a first point of interest and a second point of interest; and
generating an augmented view, wherein generating the augmented view includes;
overlaying over the image of the scene, at a first transparency level, a first visual indication associated with the first point of interest; and
overlaying over the image of the scene, at a second transparency level, a second visual indication associated with the second point of interest, the second transparency level of the second visual indication being different than the first transparency level of the first visual indication, wherein the first visual indication is overlaid to appear in front of at least a portion of the second visual indication based on the first point of interest being disposed at least partially behind the second point of interest in the scene relative to a camera.

Abstract
Techniques for displaying navigation information on a mobile device are provided that include a method that includes obtaining an indication of a position and an indication of a direction associated with the mobile device, using the indication of the position, the indication of the direction, information regarding identities of POIs within a geographic region of interest, and information regarding areas associated with the POIs to determine at least one relevant POI, of the POIs, that is associated with the position and direction, and displaying at least one visual indication associated with each of the at least one relevant POI on the mobile device. The appearance of the at least one visual indication is dependent on at least one of a distance from the mobile device of the relevant POI associated with the visual indication or presence of a known physical barrier between the mobile device and that relevant POI.

20. An apparatus for generating one or more augmented views, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store one or more images; and a processor configured to; obtain an image of a scene disposed within a geographic area of interest including a first point of interest and a second point of interest; and generate an augmented view, wherein generating the augmented view includes; overlaying over the image of the scene, at a first transparency level, a first visual indication associated with the first point of interest; and overlaying over the image of the scene, at a second transparency level, a second visual indication associated with the second point of interest, the second transparency level of the second visual indication being different than the first transparency level of the first visual indication, wherein the first visual indication is overlaid to appear in front of at least a portion of the second visual indication based on the first point of interest being disposed at least partially behind the second point of interest in the scene relative to a camera. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
obtain an image of a scene disposed within a geographic area of interest including a first point of interest and a second point of interest; and generate an augmented view, wherein generating the augmented view includes; overlaying over the image of the scene, at a first transparency level, a first visual indication associated with the first point of interest; and overlaying over the image of the scene, at a second transparency level, a second visual indication associated with the second point of interest, the second transparency level of the second visual indication being different than the first transparency level of the first visual indication, wherein the first visual indication is overlaid to appear in front of at least a portion of the second visual indication based on the first point of interest being disposed at least partially behind the second point of interest in the scene relative to a camera.
