  • initiating capture of a real-time image of at least one object by a camera module of a mobile device;

    receiving user-provided destination information and sending the user-provided destination information and current location of the mobile device to a server, wherein the server is configured to request the mobile device to provide additional navigation information after finding the user-provided destination information within a predefined distance from the current location;

    in response to the request from the server, determining updated current location, speed, orientation, rotation, and inclination information of the mobile device;

    sending the updated current location, speed, orientation, rotation, and inclination information of the mobile device to the server without sending the real-time image, wherein the server is configured to search for POI information associated with the user-provided destination information in accordance with the updated current location, speed, orientation, rotation, and inclination information of the mobile device and return the POI information to the mobile device;

    receiving the POI information from the server, wherein the POI information includes label information associated with the at least one object within the predefined distance from the mobile device and navigation information from the updated current location of the mobile device to the destination, and wherein the POI information is determined in accordance with the updated current location, speed, orientation, rotation, inclination information of the mobile device, and the destination information without reliance upon the real-time image captured by the camera; and

    displaying the POI information, superimposed on the real-time image of the at least one object, on the mobile device, further including displaying the label information on the real-time image next to the at least one object and displaying a directional indicator on the real-time image indicating a navigation path from the updated current location of the mobile device to the destination based on the navigation information.
