Location based augmented reality system for exchange of items based on location sensing methods and devices related thereto
First Claim
1. A system for electronically transferring at least one value item from a first user to a second user via an augmented reality system, comprising:
- a first, provider user computing device configured to identify a specific physical location and associate a triggering icon representing a value item with the specific physical location; and
,the second, recipient user mobile computing device, wherein the second, recipient user mobile computing device is configured to;
receive an indication of the existence of the value item and/or the specific physical location;
detect via a sensor on the second, recipient user mobile computing device that the second, recipient user mobile computing device is in a designated range of the specific physical location;
responsive to the detection, display the triggering icon on the second, recipient user mobile computing device using augmented reality such that a display of a portion of a real world location is augmented with a display of the triggering icon;
wherein the system is configured such that upon receiving notification that the triggering icon has been triggered by the second, recipient user mobile computing device, the second recipient user receives the value item.

Abstract
Location-based augmented reality systems configured exchange of items based on location sensing and associated triggering icons, and methods and devices related thereto. In one exemplary embodiment, a first, provider user identifies a specific physical location; associates a triggering icon representing a value item with the specific physical location; and, transmits the existence of the triggering icon and specific physical location to a second, mobile recipient user computing device. The second, mobile recipient user receives the triggering icon and specific physical location from the first, provider user computing device, then finds the specific physical location, activates the triggering icon and receives the value item.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling one or more computing devices to perform a method comprising:
-
under control of a first computing device of a provider user, identifying a specific physical location and associating a triggering icon representing a value item with the specific physical location; and
,under control of a second, mobile computing device of a recipient user, receiving an indication of the existence of the value item and/or the specific physical location; detecting via a sensor on the second, mobile computing device that the second, mobile computing device is in a designated range of the specific physical location; responsive to the detection, displaying, the triggering icon on the second, mobile computing device using augmented reality such that a display of a portion of a real world location is augmented with a display of the triggering icon; wherein, upon receiving notification that the triggering icon has been triggered by the second, mobile computing device, the recipient user receives the value item.

27. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that control a processor of a mobile device to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of the existence that a specific physical location has been associated with a triggering icon by a first provider user computing device; detecting via a sensor of the mobile device that the mobile device is in a designated range of the specific physical location; responsive to the detecting, displaying the triggering icon associated with the specific physical location using augmented reality such that display of a portion of a real world location is augmented with display of the triggering icon; and exposing a value item associated with a real world item upon activation and/or opening of the triggering icon.
