First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- correlating, with one or more processors, at least one live image with a prerecorded panoramic image when a location of a device used to capture the at least one live image matches a location of a device used to capture the panoramic prerecorded image; and
causing, with the one or more processors, at least in part, switching between presentation on a screen of the device capturing the at least one live image, of the at least one live image and the prerecorded panoramic image,wherein address, geographic coordinates, and/or longitude and latitude information is used for the location of the device, andwherein the presentation on the screen only displays either the at least one live image or the prerecorded panoramic image.

Abstract
An approach is provided for correlating and navigating between a live camera image and a prerecorded panoramic image. A mapping and augmented reality application correlates at least one live image with a prerecorded panoramic image, when a location of a device used to capture the at least one live image matches a location of a device used to capture the panoramic prerecorded image. The mapping and augmented reality application causes, at least in part, automatically alternating presentation on a screen of the device capturing the at least one live image, of the at least one live image and the prerecorded panoramic image.

8. 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 perform at least the following, correlate at least one live image with a prerecorded panoramic image when a location of a device used to capture the at least one live image matches a location of a device used to capture the panoramic prerecorded image; and cause, at least in part, switching between presentation on a screen of the device capturing the at least one live image, of the at least one live image and the prerecorded panoramic image, wherein address, geographic coordinates, and/or longitude and latitude information is used for the location of the device, and wherein the presentation on the screen only displays either the at least one live image or the prerecorded panoramic image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
correlating at least one live image with a prerecorded panoramic image when a location of a device used to capture the at least one live image matches a location of a device used to capture the panoramic prerecorded image; and causing, at least in part, switching between presentation on a screen of the device capturing the at least one live image, of the at least one live image and the prerecorded panoramic image, wherein address, geographic coordinates, and/or longitude and latitude information is used for the location of the device, and wherein the presentation on the screen only displays either the at least one live image or the prerecorded panoramic image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
