Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) technology can be used to perform a real-time overlay on an image displayed on a user device. A user device can receive image data of an area comprising an item from the real-world. Based on the image data, an identity and a value of the item can be obtained by the user device. If the value of the item is greater than a pre-determined value for the item or a category of the item, then the user device can obscure in real-time on the displayed image the item or category of the item having the value that is greater than the pre-determined value.
Claims20
A method of performing a real-time overlay on a displayed image, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, image data of an area comprising an item from the real-world;
- obtaining, based on the image data, an identity and a value of the item;
- determining that the value of the item is greater than a pre-determined value for the item or a category of the item;
- displaying on the user device the image of the area comprising the item;
- and
- obscuring, in real-time on the displayed image, the item or category of the item having the value that is greater than the pre-determined value.
A method of performing a real-time overlay on a displayed image, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, image data of an area comprising an item from the real-world;
- obtaining, based on the image data, an identity and a value of the item;
- displaying on the user device the image of the area comprising the item;
- in response to determining that an inequality indicator that compares the value to a pre-determined value is a greater than symbol:
- determining that the value of the item is greater than the pre-determined value for the item or a category of the item,
- obscuring, in real-time on the displayed image, the item or category of the item having the value that is greater than the pre-determined value;
- and
- in response to determining that the inequality indicator that compares the value to the pre-determined value is a less than symbol:
- determining that the value of the item is less than the pre-determined value for the item or the category of the item,
- obscuring, in real-time on the displayed image, the item or category of the item having the value that is less than the pre-determined value.
A system for performing a real-time overlay on a displayed image, the system comprising:
- a mobile device configured to:
- receive, from a camera, image data of an area comprising an item from the real-world;
- send the image data to a server;
- receive an identity and a value of the item from the server;
- determine that the value of the item is greater than a pre-determined value for the item or a category of the item;
- the server configured to:
- receive, from the mobile device, the image data of the area comprising the item from the real-world;
- determine the identity and the value of the item from the image data;
- a display device configured to:
- display the image of the area comprising the item;
- and
- obscure, in real-time on the displayed image, the item or category of the item having the value that is greater than the pre-determined value.
