Abstract
A method, article of manufacture and system for receiving, from a user device located at an environment at which a user is viewing an event both with and without the use of the user device, image data containing an image of the environment; receiving a request from the user device for an item of information that relates to the event, for placement into the image of the environment; responsive to receiving the request, accessing a database to retrieve the item of information; generating a scaled image of the item of information based on dimensions of the environment; and transmitting the scaled image for placement into the image of the environment on the user device to generate an augmented reality image.
Claims36
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a user device located at an environment at which a user is viewing an event both with and without the use of the user device, image data containing an image of the environment;
- receiving a request from the user device for an item of information that relates to the event, for placement into the image of the environment;
- responsive to receiving the request, accessing a database to retrieve the item of information;
- generating a scaled image of the item of information based on dimensions of the environment;
- and
- transmitting the scaled image for placement into the image of the environment on the user device to generate an augmented reality image.
Computer-readable storage having embedded therein a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, causes the computer to execute the following operations:
- receiving, from a user device located at an environment at which a user is viewing an event both with and without the use of the user device, image data containing an image of the environment;
- receiving a request from the user device for an item of information that relates to the event for placement into the image of the environment;
- responsive to receiving the request, accessing a database to retrieve the item of information;
- generating a scaled image of the item of information based on dimensions of the environment;
- and
- transmitting the scaled image for placement into the image of the environment on the user device to generate an augmented reality image.
A system comprising at least one processor and computer storage configured to execute:
- a receiving module to receive, from a user device located at an environment at which a user is viewing an event both with and without the use of the user device, image data containing an image of an environment, the receiving module also to receive a request from the user device for an item of information that relates to the event for placement into a location of the image of the environment;
- a database accessing module to, responsive to receipt of the request, access a database to retrieve the item of information;
- an image generating module to generate a scaled image of the item of information based on dimensions of the environment;
- and
- a transmitting module to transmit the scaled image for placement into the image of the environment on the user device to generate an augmented reality image.
