User augmented reality for camera-enabled mobile devices
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing information regarding a moving object captured in an image or video by a camera of a mobile device, comprising:
- receiving the image or video captured by the camera of the mobile device;
processing the image or video using an image processing technique to identify the moving object;
generating meta data relating to the moving object, the meta data comprising information about the moving object that relates to a social network of a user of the mobile device;
causing a visual representation of the meta data to be overlaid on a visual representation of the image or video in the display of the mobile device; and
causing action information to be displayed in the display of the mobile device, the action information being configured to enable the user to perform a specific action relating to the moving object and the social network.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for providing a user augmented reality (UAR) service for a camera-enabled mobile device, so that a user of such mobile device can use the mobile device to obtain meta data regarding one or more images/video that are captured with such device. The meta data is interactive and allows the user to obtain additional information or specific types of information, such as information that will aid the user in making a decision regarding the identified objects or selectable action options that can be used to initiate actions with respect to the identified objects.
