Method and system for performing interaction based on augmented reality

A first mobile terminal for performing interaction based on augmented reality, comprising:

• a camera;
• a display;
• one or more processors;
• memory coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• a plurality of machine executable computer instructions stored in the memory, wherein the plurality of machine executable computer instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first terminal to perform the following operations:
• while rendering, on the display, a real-time scene photographed by the camera:
• submitting a current location of the first mobile terminal to a remote server;
• receiving, from the remote server, information of second locations of multiple mobile terminals, the second location of each mobile terminal being within a first predefined distance of the current location of the first mobile terminal;
• calculating distance and orientation relationships between the multiple mobile terminals and the first mobile terminal;
• selecting, among the multiple mobile terminals, a second mobile terminal whose distance and orientation relationship with the first mobile terminal satisfies a preset requirement;
• rendering one or more interactive icons of the second mobile terminal on top of the real-time scene photographed by the camera, wherein the interactive icons are located near a portion of the real-time scene corresponding to the second location of the second mobile terminal;
• and
• performing a respective interaction with the second mobile terminal in response to a user selection of a respective one of the one or more interactive icons, the respective interaction including sending by the first mobile terminal text, voice, video, and/or image message to the second mobile terminal.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of programs for performing interaction based on augmented reality at a first mobile terminal having a camera, a display, and one or more processors, wherein the plurality of programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first mobile terminal to perform the following operations:

• while rendering, on the display, a real-time scene photographed by the camera:
• submitting a current location of the first mobile terminal to a remote server;
• receiving, from the remote server, information of second locations of multiple mobile terminals, the second location of each mobile terminal being within a first predefined distance of the current location of the first mobile terminal;
• calculating distance and orientation relationships between the multiple mobile terminals and the first mobile terminal;
• selecting, among the multiple mobile terminals, a second mobile terminal whose distance and orientation relationship with the first mobile terminal satisfies a preset requirement;
• rendering one or more interactive icons of the second mobile terminal on top of the real-time scene photographed by the camera, wherein the interactive icons are located near a portion of the real-time scene corresponding to the second location of the second mobile terminal;
• and
• performing a respective interaction with the second mobile terminal in response to a user selection of a respective one of the one or more interactive icons, the respective interaction including sending by the first mobile terminal text, voice, video, and/or image message to the second mobile terminal.
