First Claim
1. A portable tablet computing device comprising:
- a wireless communications interface;
a touch screen display;
a camera for capturing video imagery;
a microphone for capturing audio;
a device input for initiating a discovery mode, in which the discovery mode includes processing camera-captured video imagery or microphone-captured audio to obtain identification of an object depicted in camera-captured video imagery or to obtain identification of microphone-captured audio, an identification obtained through the wireless communications interface;
one or more multi-core processors; and
memory storing software instructions for configuring said one or more multi-core processors for;
responsive to a request received via said device input, initiating a discovery mode including processing real-time video imagery captured with said camera;
causing a sensor pane to be displayed on said touch screen display, in which real-time captured video imagery is displayed along with augmented reality graphics within the sensor pane, and causing user-selectable graphic icons to be displayed within a first area of said touch screen display;
causing highlighting of an object represented in captured real-time video imagery that is displayed within the sensor pane; and
causing a user-selectable graphic icon to be displayed on said touch screen display to facilitate switching discovery modes from image to audio.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes portable devices (e.g., smart phones and tablets), related methods and systems. One claim relates to a portable computing device including a device input for initiating a discovery mode. The discovery mode includes processing camera-captured video imagery or microphone-captured audio to obtain identification of an object depicted in camera-captured video imagery or to obtain identification of microphone-captured audio. The portable computing device operates to initiate a discovery mode including processing real-time video imagery captured with a camera, cause a sensor pane to be displayed on a touch screen display, in which real-time captured video imagery is displayed along with augmented reality graphics within the sensor pane, and cause user-selectable graphic icons to be displayed within a first area of the touch screen display, and cause a user-selectable graphic icon to be displayed on touch screen display to facilitate switching discovery modes from image to audio.

19. A computer program product being embodied in non-transitory computer readable storage media and comprising portable computing device executable instructions for:
-
initiating a discovery mode, in response to a request received via a device input, in which the discovery mode includes processing camera-captured imagery to obtain identification of an object depicted in the camera-captured imagery through a wireless communications interface of the portable computing device; causing captured imagery including video to be displayed in a first area on a portable computing device touch screen display along with augmented reality graphics; controlling a user interface to display user-selectable graphic icons in a second area on the touch screen display, in which the user-selectable graphic icons include visible indicia to graphically represent content; and controlling the user interface to display a user-selectable graphic icon on the touch screen display to facilitate switching discovery modes from image to audio, in which an audio discovery mode processes microphone-captured audio to determine identification therefrom. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
