Maintaining continuity of augmentations
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for use with an augmented reality enabled device (ARD), comprising:
- tracking a plurality of objects and a background based at least in part on visual information derived from an image;
maintaining states of the plurality of objects, wherein maintaining states of the plurality of objects comprises maintaining states of a first set of the plurality of objects in view of the ARD and maintaining states of a second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD;
providing data for rendering augmentation in response to the states of the plurality of objects;
tracking at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD;
determining the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects no longer exists; and
rendering at least one of a fading out transition and an ambient sound in a position of the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects.

1. A method for use with an augmented reality enabled device (ARD), comprising:
-
tracking a plurality of objects and a background based at least in part on visual information derived from an image; maintaining states of the plurality of objects, wherein maintaining states of the plurality of objects comprises maintaining states of a first set of the plurality of objects in view of the ARD and maintaining states of a second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; providing data for rendering augmentation in response to the states of the plurality of objects; tracking at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; determining the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects no longer exists; and rendering at least one of a fading out transition and an ambient sound in a position of the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An augmented reality enabled device (ARD), comprising:
-
a control unit including processing logic, the processing logic comprising; logic configured to track a plurality of objects and a background based at least in part on visual information derived from an image; logic configured to maintain states of the plurality of objects, wherein logic configured to maintain states of the plurality of objects comprises logic configured to maintain states of a first set of the plurality of objects in view of the ARD and logic configured to maintain states of a second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; logic configured to provide data for rendering augmentation in response to the states of the plurality of objects; logic configured to track at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; logic configured to determine the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects no longer exists; and logic configured to render at least one of a fading out transition and an ambient sound in a position of the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A non-transitory medium storing instructions for execution by one or more computer systems, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions for tracking a plurality of objects and a background based at least in part on visual information derived from an image; instructions for maintaining states of the plurality of objects, wherein the instructions for maintaining states of the plurality of objects comprises instructions for maintaining states of a first set of the plurality of objects in view of the ARD and instructions for maintaining states of a second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; instructions for providing data for rendering augmentation in response to the states of the plurality of objects; instructions for tracking at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; instructions for determining the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects no longer exists; and instructions for rendering at least one of a fading out transition and an ambient sound in a position of the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects.

42. A system, comprising:
-
means for tracking a plurality of objects and a background based at least in part on visual information derived from an image; means for maintaining states of the plurality of objects, wherein the means for maintaining states of the plurality of objects comprises means for maintaining states of a first set of the plurality of objects in view of the ARD and means for maintaining states of a second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; means for providing data for rendering augmentation in response to the states of the plurality of objects; means for tracking at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects out of view of the ARD; means for determining the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects no longer exists; and means for rendering at least one of a fading out transition and an ambient sound in a position of the at least one object in the second set of the plurality of objects.
