Apparatus, method and computer program for monitoring positions of objects
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least perform:
- obtain information relating to a position of an object relative to a user;
determine a field of vision of the user, wherein determination of the field of vision of the user comprises using three dimensional model information stored in memory circuitry and relating to a location, height and shape of one or more items to determine whether the one or more items will obstruct the field of vision of the user;
determine whether or not the object is in the field of vision of the user; and
based on the determination that the object is not in the field of vision of the user, enable a visual, audio or haptic alert to be provided.

Abstract
An apparatus, method and computer program, the apparatus comprising: processing circuitry; and memory circuitry including computer program code; the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus to, at least in part: obtain information relating to a position of an object relative to a user; determine a field of vision of the user; determine whether or not the object is in the field of vision of the user; and if it is determined that the object is not in the field of vision of the user enable an alert to be provided.

8. A method comprising:
-
obtaining information relating to a position of an object relative to a user; determining, with at least one processor, a field of vision of the user, wherein determining the field of vision of the user comprises using three dimensional model information stored in memory circuitry and relating to a location, height and shape of one or more items to determine whether the one or more items will obstruct the field of vision of the user; determining whether or not the object is in the field of vision of the user; and based on the determination that the object is not in the field of vision of the user enabling a visual, audio or haptic alert to be provided. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising:
-
program code instructions for obtaining information relating to a position of an object relative to a user; program code instructions for determining a field of vision of the user, wherein determination of the field of vision of the user comprises using three dimensional model information stored in memory circuitry and relating to a location, height and shape of one or more items to determine whether the one or more items will obstruct the field of vision of the user; program code instructions for determining whether or not said object is in the field of vision of said user; and program code instructions for enabling, based on a determination that said object is not in the field of vision of said user, a visual, audio or haptic alert to be provided. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
