Abstract
Examples associated with displaying augmented images via paired devices are disclosed. Providing a trigger image from a mobile device to a paired device. The paired device is controlled to display the trigger image. The mobile device scans the trigger image being displayed on the paired device. An augmented image of the trigger image is displayed on the mobile device.
Claims13
A method, comprising:
- providing, from a mobile device to a paired device, a trigger image;
- controlling the paired device to display the trigger image;
- scanning the trigger image being displayed on the paired device into the mobile device;
- displaying an augmented image of the trigger image on the mobile device;
- and
- detecting a physical proximity of the mobile device to the trigger image and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.
A system in a mobile device having a display, the system comprising:
- a data store to store a set of trigger images and corresponding augmented images;
- an augmented reality module to, upon detecting a trigger image, cause a corresponding augmented image to be shown on the display;
- a preview module to allow a user to browse trigger images and to receive an input from the user associated with a selected trigger image;
- a pairing module to control a paired device to display the selected trigger image to facilitate detection of the selected trigger image by the augmented reality module;
- and
- a geographic trigger module to detect a physical proximity of the mobile device to the trigger image and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
- receive a set of trigger images and a set of augmented images from an augmented reality data server, where members of the set of augmented images correspond to members of the set of trigger images;
- provide members of the set of trigger images to a user;
- receive a selection from the user associated with a member of the set of trigger images;
- transmit the member of the set of trigger images to a paired device to cause the paired device to display the member of the set of trigger images;
- scan the member of the set of trigger images being displayed by the paired device;
- display the augmented image to the user, overlaying the scanned member of the set of trigger images;
- and
- detect a physical proximity of the computer to the member of the set of trigger images and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.
