Context-aware tagging for augmented reality environments
First Claim
1. A system for tag-based search, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
a computer readable storage medium that stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
capturing an image using the system;
extracting a machine-readable label from the image;
querying stored content for information that is associated with the machine-readable label, wherein the information includes non-location information;
identifying a location associated with the system;
generating a tentative identification of an object depicted in the image, based at least in part on the information;
producing a model of a statistical distribution of objects that share characteristics with the object and that are known to be present in the location associated with the system; and
inferring a probability that the tentative identification is correct, from the model of the statistical distribution.

Abstract
A method for tag-based search includes capturing an image, extracting a tag from the image, identifying a location associated with the captured image, and querying stored content for information that matches the location and the tag. Local storage is checked for the information first, and remote storage may be checked subsequently. Any located information may be used to augment the image. Information located in the remote storage may be saved in the local storage until it reaches a certain age, until it fails to be accessed for a threshold period of time, or until the location moves outside a threshold radius associated with a location of the information located in the remote storage.
