Abstract
A device for sharing augmented reality content between users on a network. Augmented reality media may be curated, searched, selected to be viewed or created and represented by an icon representative of the media content.
Claims29
An enrolled device comprising:
- a processor;
- a camera;
- a display programmed to at least partially display a field of view of the camera;
- a wireless connection;
- a position detection system;
- a user interface for receiving user input;
- and
- a memory;
- wherein the enrolled device is programmed for wireless communication with at least one other device;
- and
- wherein the enrolled device is associated with at least one of a recorder or a reader, said enrolled device programmed to:
- (1) record at least one first augmented reality (AR) moment file shareable with one or more eligible readers by:
- (a) selecting, via a first AR icon, media content for inclusion within the first AR moment file, the media content including one or more of a recorder identifier, a recording time, or an expiration;
- (b) filtering for display the first AR moment file according to filtering information;
- wherein an availability of the first AR moment file is restricted to the one or more eligible readers based on the filtering information;
- and
- (c) at least one of orienting the first AR icon at an icon orientation or positioning the first AR icon at an icon position within the field of view of the enrolled device;
- and
- (2) read at least one second AR moment file, for which the reader is one of the one or more eligible readers according to filtering information of the second AR moment file, by:
- (a) receiving at least one notification from said at least one other device, the at least one notification configured for announcing at least one of a second AR icon or second AR moment file;
- and
- (b) prompting the reader to select the second AR moment file via the second AR icon.

An enrolled device comprising:
- a processor;
- a camera;
- a display programmed to at least partially display a field of view of the camera;
- at least one of an orientation or position detection system;
- a user interface;
- and
- a memory;
- wherein the enrolled device is associated with a recorder and is programmed to:
- (1) connect to at least one of a server or a cloud-based storage;
- (2) accept at least one media input, the media input including at least one of a text input, an image input, a sound input, or a video input;
- and
- (3) record at least one augmented reality (AR) moment file capable of being shared with one or more eligible readers, by:
- (a) selecting, via said user interface, at least one AR icon representative of the AR moment file;
- (b) selecting, via said user interface, content for inclusion within the AR moment file, the content including said media input and at least one of a recorder identifier corresponding to the recorder or a recording time;
- (c) defining one or more potential readers of the AR moment file as either an eligible reader or an ineligible reader according to filtering information representative of the content, the filtering information selected from at least one of a class, a category, a theme, a media genre, an interest, or a subject, wherein the AR moment file is available to the eligible reader;
- and
- (d) at least one of orienting the selected AR icon at an icon orientation or positioning the selected AR icon at an icon position within the field of view of the enrolled device.
14 more elements
A device for recording and sharing moments, wherein the device includes at least one processor, a camera, a display programmed to at least partially display a field of view (FOV) of the camera to at least one of a recorder or a reader, and wherein the device is programmed to receive an augmented reality (AR) moment file, the device comprising:
- (a) a position detection system configured to determine a position of the device;
- (b) a moment recording system capable of recording at least one first augmented reality (AR) moment file associated with a moment and represented by at least one first AR icon selectable by the recorder, the first AR moment file containing one or more of:
- a moment file identifier;
- a time;
- and
- at least one of a photograph, a video, a sound, a text, or an animation;
- wherein the at least one first AR icon is at least one of oriented at an icon orientation or positioned at an icon position within the FOV of the camera;
- (c) at least one moment reading system capable of (1) displaying to the reader a notification associated with a second AR icon when said second AR icon is in the FOV, and (2) reading the second AR moment file via the second AR icon;
- and
- (d) a filter for displaying to the reader one or more of the first AR moment file and the second AR moment file according to a reader interest, the reader interest defining an availability of at least the first AR moment file or the second AR moment file to the reader, the reader interest selected from at least one of an identity of the recorder, a moment age, a moment creation time, a moment medium, a moment subject or interest, or a moment theme.
7 more elements
A device for recording and sharing moments, the device comprising:
- a moment recorder including at least one processor, the moment recorder configured to record at least one augmented reality (AR) moment file to be shared with at least one enrolled reader, each enrolled reader having:
- a camera;
- a display programmed to at least partially display a field of view (FOV) of the camera;
- at least one of an orientation or position detection system;
- a user interface for receiving user input;
- a memory;
- and
- a connection to at least one of a server or cloud-based storage,
- wherein the at least one enrolled reader is programmed to read the at least one AR moment file;
- and
- wherein the at least one AR moment file comprises:
- (1) an identifier;
- (2) searchable content;
- and
- (3) an AR clickable element having an appearance selected from a group including a range of colors and a range of sizes,
- wherein said AR clickable element has a first appearance when displayed in the FOV of the enrolled reader and a highlighted appearance when highlighted for selection via said user interface,
- and
- wherein the device further comprises:
- an augmented property ownership interest associated with at least one of an orientation or a position of the device, wherein said AR clickable element corresponds to at least one of a user of the device, the moment recorder, the at least one enrolled reader, or a holder of the augmented property.
