Abstract
In one implementation, a method of displaying sports data is performed by a device including an image sensor, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes obtaining, using the image sensor, an image of a physical environment including a sporting event. The method includes detecting, in the image of the physical environment, an object. The method includes obtaining data regarding a current state of the sporting event with respect to the object. The method includes displaying, on the display in association with the physical environment, a representation of the data.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- at a device including an image sensor, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory:
- obtaining, using the image sensor, a first image, taken at a first time, of a physical environment including a sporting event;
- detecting, in the first image, an object indicating a current numerical state of the sporting event;
- and
- in response to determining, at a second time after the first time, that the object indicating the numerical state of the sporting event is not within a field-of-view of the image sensor, displaying, on the display in association with the physical environment, a representation of the current numerical state of the sporting event.
A device comprising:
- an image sensor;
- a display;
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- one or more processors to:
- obtain, using the image sensor, a first image, taken at a first time, of a physical environment including a sporting event;
- detect, in the first image of the physical environment, an object indicating a current numerical state of the sporting event;
- and
- in response to determining, at a second time after the first time, that the object indicating the numerical state of the sporting event is not within a field-of-view of the image sensor, display, on the display in association with the physical environment, a representation of the current numerical state of the sporting event.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by one or more processors of a device including an image sensor and a display, cause the device to:
- obtain, using the image sensor, a first image, taken at a first time, of a physical environment including a sporting event;
- detect, in the first image, an object indicating a current numerical state of the sporting event;
- in response to determining, at a second time after the first time, that the object indicating the numerical state of the sporting event in not within a field-of-view of the image sensor, display, on the display in association with the physical environment, a representation of the current numerical state of the sporting event.
