Systems, apparatus and methods for delivery of location-oriented information
First Claim
1. An augmented reality guiding system for delivery of location-oriented information, comprising:
- a) a location server;
b) a database coupled to the location server and configured to store target information relating to target points of interest; and
c) at least one mobile locating device, each mobile locating device having a positioning module configured to determine location information for that locating device, an imaging module configured to capture at least one image of at least some of a field of vision for that locating device, a spatial orientation detection module that outputs heading, roll, and pitch data to determine spatial information of that locating device, a display module configured to provide visual feedback, and at least one wireless communication module configured to communicate with the location server;
d) wherein each mobile locating device is configured to be able to receive target information relating to at least one target points of interest from the location server, and based on the target information and the location information and spatial information for that locating device, display the target information relating to the target point of interest by visually augmenting the at least one captured image on the display module; and
e) wherein at least one of the target points of interest is a mobile object and the at least one mobile locating device is adapted to dynamically locate the mobile object.

Abstract
An augmented reality guiding system for delivery of location-oriented information, including a location server, a database coupled to the location server, and at least one mobile locating device. The database is configured to store target information relating to target points of interest. Each mobile locating device has a positioning module, an imaging module, a spatial orientation detection module, a display module, and at least one wireless communication module. Each mobile locating device is configured to receive target information relating to at least one target points of interest from the location server, and display the target information by visually augmenting at least one image on the display module.
