First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a search query that was entered at a mobile computing device;
identifying, by the computing system, a first set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the received search query and that are located within a first geographic zone, the first geographic zone extending radially outward a first geographic distance from a base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located;
identifying, by the computing system, a second set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the received search query and that are located within a second geographic zone, the second geographic zone beginning at the first geographic distance and extending radially outward a second geographic distance from the base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located, the second geographic distance being greater than the first geographic distance;
identifying, by the computing system, a third set of one or more items that are responsive to the search query and that are located within a third geographic zone, the third geographic zone beginning at the second geographic distance and extending radially outward from the base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located;
providing, by the computing system and for receipt by the mobile computing device in response to receiving the search query, data for causing the mobile computing device to display a first set of one or more labels that correspond to the first set of one or more items, each of the labels in the first set of labels corresponding to a respective geographical feature that is located within the first zone; and
providing, by the computing system and for receipt by the mobile computing device in response to receiving the search query, data causing the mobile computing device to store information regarding the second set of one or more items but not to display a second set of one or more labels that correspond to the second set of one or more items while each item within the second set of one or more items is within the second zone,wherein the computing system identifies the third set of one or more items without providing data for causing the mobile computing device to store information regarding the third set of one or more items or display a third set of one or more labels that correspond to the third set of one or more items, while each item within the third set of one or more items is within the third zone.

Abstract
A computer-implemented augmented reality method includes receiving one or more indications, entered on a mobile computing device by a user of the mobile computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located. The method also includes selecting, from items in a computer database, one or more items that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user, and providing data for representing labels for the selected one or more items on a visual display of the mobile computing device, the labels corresponding to the selected items, and the items corresponding to geographical features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device.

12. A tangible, non-transitory recordable medium having recorded thereon instructions, that when executed, perform actions comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing system, a search query that was entered at a mobile computing device; identifying, by the computing system, a first set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the received search query and that are located within a first geographic zone, the first geographic zone extending radially outward a first geographic distance from a base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located; identifying, by the computing system, a second set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the received search query and that are located within a second geographic zone, the second geographic zone beginning at the first geographic distance and extending radially outward a second geographic distance from the base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located, the second geographic distance being greater than the first geographic distance; identifying, by the computing system, a third set of one or more items that are responsive to the search query and that are located within a third geographic zone, the third geographic zone beginning at the second geographic distance and extending radially outward from the base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located; providing, by the computing system and for receipt by the mobile computing device in response to receiving the search query, data for causing the mobile computing device to display a first set of one or more labels that correspond to the first set of one or more items of the labels in the first set of labels corresponding to a respective geographical feature that is located within the first zone; and providing, by the computing system and for receipt by the mobile computing device in response to receiving the search query, data causing the mobile computing device to store information regarding the second set of one or more items but not to display a second set of one or more labels that correspond to the second set of one or more items while each item within the second set of one or more items is within the second zone, wherein the computing system identifies the third set of one or more items without providing data for causing the mobile computing device to store information regarding the third set of one or more items or display a third set of one or more labels that correspond to the third set of one or more items, while each item within the third set of one or more items is within the third zone. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
