Object tracking
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile computing device, comprising:
- a sensor subsystem comprising an image sensor;
a display subsystem comprising a see-through display device;
a logic subsystem configured to execute instructions; and
a data-holding subsystem comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the logic subsystem to;
receive image data from the image sensor;
detect via image analysis of the image data a plurality of user interactions with a moveable inanimate physical object over time;
recognize a behavioral pattern based at least on one or more of a number of and a frequency of the user interactions and times at which the user interactions occurred;
at a time that is based upon the times at which the user interactions occurred, generate an alert based upon the behavioral pattern, the alert comprising information related to a potential location of the moveable inanimate physical object; and
automatically output the alert by displaying the alert via the display subsystem as augmented reality imagery using the see-through display device.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed herein that relate to the automatic tracking of objects. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method of operating a mobile computing device having an image sensor. The method includes acquiring image data, identifying an inanimate moveable object in the image data, determining whether the inanimate moveable object is a tracked object, if the inanimate moveable object is a tracked object, then storing information regarding a state of the inanimate moveable object, detecting a trigger to provide a notification of the state of the inanimate moveable object, and providing an output of the notification of the state of the inanimate moveable object.
