Range of Focus in an Augmented Reality Application
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented augmented reality method, comprising:
- receiving one or more indications, entered on a mobile computing device by a user of the mobile computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located;
selecting, from items in a computer database, one or more items that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user; and
providing data for representing labels for the selected one or more items on a visual display of the mobile computing device, the labels corresponding to the selected items, and the items corresponding to geographical features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented augmented reality method includes receiving one or more indications, entered on a mobile computing device by a user of the mobile computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located. The method also includes selecting, from items in a computer database, one or more items that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user, and providing data for representing labels for the selected one or more items on a visual display of the mobile computing device, the labels corresponding to the selected items, and the items corresponding to geographical features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device.

11. A tangible, non-transitory recordable medium having recorded thereon instructions, that when executed, perform actions comprising:
-
receiving on a computing device one or more indications, entered a user of the computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located; transmitting data identifying the distance range to a server system remote from the computing device receiving information about one or more items, selected from among a group of items in a computer database at the server system, that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user; and providing a display of an augmented reality presentation, where the presentation is augmented with labels for items represented in the presentation that are features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented augmented reality system, comprising:
-
an interface programmed to receive user input that defines a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a basepoint for the mobile computing device; a computer database that stores descriptive items that represent geographical features that are correlated to geographical locations; a filter to select from the descriptive items, a group of items that are within the defined distance range, in discrimination to items that are not within the defined distance range; and an augmented reality application on a mobile computing device programmed to display annotations defined by the group of items and to superimpose the annotations over an image of a geographical area on a computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
