## Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for presenting digital content in a field of view of a head-worn computer. A method involves pre-setting a geo-spatial location where content will be displayed to a user of a see-through head-worn display, establishing a region proximate the geo-spatial location, causing a marker recognition system of the head-worn see-through display to activate when data indicates that the see-through head-worn display is within the region, wherein the marker recognition system monitors a surrounding environment to identify a marker that will act as a virtual anchor for the presentation of the content, and causing the marker recognition system to de-activate when the marker recognition system identifies the marker.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
pre-setting a geo-spatial location where content will be displayed to a user of a see-through head-worn display;
establishing a region proximate the geo-spatial location; and
causing a marker recognition system of the head-worn see-through display to activate when data indicates that the see-through head-worn display is within the region, wherein the marker recognition system monitors a surrounding environment to identify a marker that will act as a virtual anchor for the presentation of the content.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the marker is a pre-established physical attribute.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the marker is a priority marker selected from a plurality of markers, wherein the priority marker was identified by scanning the surrounding environment in a search for the plurality of markers.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on personal information known about the user.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on a presentation preference setting established by the user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on a preference of a sender of the content.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on a preference setting of the content.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the content relates to the geo-spatial location.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the content does not relate to the geo-spatial location.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the content is sent by another user characterized as a friend of the user through an known affiliation.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the content is a text message.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the content is a video.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein informational content is presented to the user in the see-through head-worn display to indicate to the user that the content is queued for presentation.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the informational content is presented outside of the region.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the informational content further includes an indication of a direction in which the user will be presented with the content.

### Claim 16

A system, comprising:
a see-through head-worn display; and
a marker recognition system of the head-worn see-through display that activates when data indicates that the see-through head-worn display is within a region proximate to a geo-spatial location, wherein the marker recognition system monitors a surrounding environment to identify a marker that will act as a virtual anchor for the presentation of content, wherein the marker recognition system de-activates when the marker is identified.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the marker is a pre-established physical attribute.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the marker is a priority marker selected from a plurality of markers, wherein the priority marker was identified by scanning the surrounding environment in a search for the plurality of markers.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on personal information known about the user.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the geo-spatial location was selected based on a presentation preference setting established by the user.
