Dynamic display markers
First Claim
1. A method for defining a marker, the method comprising:
- determining, by a display control system, that a first defined marker presented by a public display device separate from and communicatively coupled to the display control system is insufficient for use by a head mounted display separate from and communicatively coupled to the display control system, whereinthe first defined marker is used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the head mounted display;
in response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, defining, by the display control system, a second marker displayed by the public display device, the second marker being at a different location than the first defined marker, whereinthe second defined marker is used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the head mounted display; and
transmitting, by the display control system, an indication of the second marker to the head mounted display enabling the head mounted display to locate the second marker.

Abstract
Various arrangements for defining a marker are presented. A first defined marker presented by a public display device may be determined to be insufficient for use by a head mounted display. The first defined marker may be used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the head mounted display. In response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, a second marker displayed by the public display device may be defined. The second marker may have a display characteristic different from the first defined marker. The second defined marker may then be used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the head mounted display. An indication of the second marker may be transmitted to the head mounted display.

12. A system for defining a marker, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; determine that a first defined marker presented by a public display device separate from and communicatively coupled to the system is insufficient for use by a head mounted display separate from and communicatively coupled to the system, wherein the first defined marker is used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the head mounted display; in response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, define a second marker displayed by the public display device, the second marker being at a different location than the first defined marker, wherein the second defined marker is used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the head mounted display; and transmit an indication of the second marker to the head mounted display enabling the head mounted display to locate the second marker. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory processor-readable medium for defining a marker, comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors of a display control system to:
-
determine that a first defined marker presented by a public display device separate from and communicatively coupled to the display control system is insufficient for use by a head mounted display separate from and communicatively coupled to the display control system, wherein the first defined marker is used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the head mounted display; in response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, define a second marker displayed by the public display device, the second marker being at a different location than the first defined marker, wherein the second defined marker is used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the head mounted display; and transmit an indication of the second marker to the head mounted display enabling the head mounted display to locate the second marker. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. An apparatus for defining a marker, the apparatus comprising:
-
means for determining that a first defined marker presented by a means for public display separate from and communicatively coupled to the apparatus is insufficient for use by a means for private display separate from and communicatively coupled to the apparatus, wherein the first defined marker is used as a reference point for positioning information for display by the means for private display; means for defining a second marker displayed by the means for public display in response to determining that the first defined marker is insufficient, the second marker being at a different location than the first defined marker, wherein the second defined marker is used as the reference point for positioning the information for display by the means for private display; and means for transmitting an indication of the second marker to the means for private display enabling the means for private display to locate the second marker. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
