Electronic device and method for selecting augmented content using the same

An electronic device providing augmented reality, comprising:

• a communication module communicating with an external device;
• a camera;
• a display;
• and
• a controller configured:
• capture, via the camera, an image including a real object and a marker,
• obtain identification information on the real object based on the image,
• obtain angle information reflecting an orientation of the marker with respect to the real object using the image,
• send, via the communication module, the identification information and the angle information to a server, wherein the server comprises a database storing at least one content group and each of the at least one content group includes a plurality of virtual objects,
• receive, via the communication module, a specific virtual object from the server, wherein the server determines a specific content group from the at least one content group based on the identification information and selects a specific virtual object among the virtual objects based on the angle information, and
• augment, via the display, the specific virtual object.

A method for selecting augmented content, performed by an electronic device providing augmented reality, the method comprising:

• capturing an image including a real object and a marker;
• obtaining identification information on the real object based the image;
• obtaining angle information reflecting an orientation of the marker with respect to the real object using the image;
• and
• augmenting a specific virtual object corresponding to the orientation of the marker with respect to the real object among a plurality of virtual objects corresponding to the real object.
