Apparatus, method and computer program product for tying information to features associated with captured media objects
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,cause a reproduction of a media object having metadata associated therewith;
provide one or more items of information to a mobile device associated with one or more features in a three-dimensional estimated area corresponding to the media object; and
estimate the area corresponding to the media object by determining a range of three-dimensional physical coordinates associated with the media object based at least in part on the metadata associated with the media object,wherein at least one item of information comprises an advertisement associated with a feature in the estimated area.

Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for tying items of information to features in an area associated with a captured media object. An information provider may associate physical coordinates and temporal information with an item of information. When a media object is captured, metadata indicating the location and direction from which, and the time at which, the media object was captured, and/or, in the instance where the media object is an image, a focal and zoom setting of the device that captured the image, may be generated and stored with the media object. When the media object is viewed, this information, as well as other metadata associated with the capturing and/or reproducing of the media object, as well as the media object itself, may be used to estimate the area corresponding to the media object and to determine item(s) of information corresponding with features in the estimated area.
