Caching and referencing strategies for interaction with informational content in a physical environment

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• capturing, via one or more optical sensors, one or more first optical captures of a first object in a physical environment;
• storing, via the memory, the one or more first optical captures of the first object;
• capturing, via the one or more optical sensors, one or more second optical captures of the first object;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, the one or more first criteria including a first criterion that is satisfied when a user input directed to the first object corresponding to the one or more second optical captures satisfies one or more second criteria and a second criterion that is satisfied when a first region of the first object is occluded in the one or more second optical captures:
• obtaining a representation of the first region of the first object without occlusion from the one or more first optical captures stored in memory;
• and
• initiating one or more first operations in accordance with the user input directed to the first object based on the representation of the first region of the first object without occlusion from the one or more first optical captures stored in memory.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:

• capture, via one or more optical sensors, one or more first optical captures of a first object in a physical environment;
• store the one or more first optical captures of the first object;
• capture, via the one or more optical sensors, one or more second optical captures of the first object;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, the one or more first criteria including a first criterion that is satisfied when a user input directed to the first object corresponding to the one or more second optical captures satisfies one or more second criteria and a second criterion that is satisfied when a first region of the first object is occluded in the one or more second optical captures:
• obtain a representation of the first region of the first object without occlusion from the one or more first optical captures stored in memory;
• and
• initiate one or more first operations in accordance with the user input directed to the first object based on the representation of the first region of the first object without occlusion from the one or more first optical captures stored in memory.
