20090298517 | AUGMENTED REALITY PLATFORM AND METHOD USING LOGO RECOGNITION - An augmented reality platform is provided which interacts between a mobile device and a server via a communication network. The augmented reality platform includes an image recognition application located on the mobile device which receives a live, real-time image and converts the image into coordinates, and a client application located on the mobile device which transmits a data packet including the coordinates. A server application provided on the server receives the data packet from the client application, identifies a logo included in the live, real-time image, and sends content or a link thereto to the mobile device in accordance with the logo. Alternatively, the identification of the logo may occur internally—without the assistance of the server. The client application on the mobile device processes the content or the link thereto and forms an augmented reality image on a display of the mobile device based on the live, real-time image and the content. | 12-03-2009 |
20090300100 | AUGMENTED REALITY PLATFORM AND METHOD USING LOGO RECOGNITION - An augmented reality platform is provided which interacts between a mobile device and a server via a communication network. The augmented reality platform includes an image recognition application located on the mobile device which receives a live, real-time image and converts the image into coordinates, and a client application located on the mobile device which transmits a data packet including the coordinates. A server application provided on the server receives the data packet from the client application, identifies a logo included in the live, real-time image, and sends content or a link thereto to the mobile device in accordance with the logo. The client application on the mobile device processes the content or the link thereto and forms an augmented reality image on a display of the mobile device based on the live, real-time image and the content. | 12-03-2009 |
20090300122 | AUGMENTED REALITY COLLABORATIVE MESSAGING SYSTEM - An augmented reality messaging platform is provided which interacts between one or more mobile device and a server via a communication network. The augmented reality platform includes an image recognition application located on the mobile device which receives a live, real-time image and identifies objects, such as markers or logos, within the environment to determine the pose (position and orientation) of the camera. The data, in combination with user information, is used to send, retrieve and display digital, spatialized (those registered with the physical world) multimedia messages, including audio, video, text and virtual object. A server application provided on the server may receive and store the messages from the client application or may deliver appropriate messages to a receiving mobile device, based on a set of privacy rules. The client application on the mobile device processes and renders this content thereto and forms an augmented reality image on a display of the mobile device based on the live, real-time image and the content. The client application is further capable of uploading new message content to be stored on a centralized server through methods which are specific to the medium of the message. | 12-03-2009 |
20100008265 | AUGMENTED REALITY METHOD AND SYSTEM USING LOGO RECOGNITION, WIRELESS APPLICATION PROTOCOL BROWSING AND VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL TECHNOLOGY - An augmented reality platform is provided which interacts between a mobile device and a server via a communication network. The augmented reality platform includes an image recognition application located on the mobile device which receives a live, real-time image, recognizes the targeted logo and creates a compact and descriptive representation of the image, and a client application located on the mobile device which transmits a data packet including the coordinates. A server application provided on the server receives the data packet from the client application, identifies a logo included in the live, real-time image, and sends content or a link thereto to the mobile device in accordance with the logo. The client application on the mobile device processes the content or the link thereto and forms an augmented reality image on a display of the mobile device based on the live, real-time image and the content. It also launches a WAP browser and load a relevant web page and it launches a VoIP software to make a relevant phone call. | 01-14-2010 |
20100009713 | LOGO RECOGNITION FOR MOBILE AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT - An augmented reality platform is provided which interacts between a mobile device and a server via a communication network. The augmented reality platform includes an image processing application located on the mobile device which receives a live, real-time image and converts the image into coordinates, and a client application located on the mobile device which transmits a data packet including the coordinates. A server application provided on the server receives the data packet from the client application, recognizes a logo included in the live, real-time image by identifying the log ID and measuring the useful characterization information such as position, size and orientation, and sends content or a link thereto to the mobile device in accordance with the logo. The client application on the mobile device processes the content or the link thereto and forms an augmented reality image on a display of the mobile device based on the recognized result of the logo and the delivered real-world image contents. | 01-14-2010 |
20100094707 | METHOD AND PLATFORM FOR VOICE AND LOCATION-BASED SERVICES FOR MOBILE ADVERTISING - A platform is provided which enables advertisers to send targeted advertisements to a user of a mobile device based on the user's vocal commands at the mobile device and the location of the mobile device. The platform allows advertisers to specify keywords, locations and content that is to be delivered to the users, The platform also includes an application that resides on the mobile device that leverages components which help in determining the location of the mobile device as well as capture audio information. Upon capturing the user's voice query, it is sent to a server, where it is decoded into its text equivalent and returned. The resultant text is then combined with the location of the user and forwarded to an advertising server which directs delivery of multimedia components to a receiving device. | 04-15-2010 |
20110088002 | METHOD AND PLATFORM FOR GESTURAL TRANSFER OF DIGITAL CONTENT FOR MOBILE DEVICES - A platform is provided which allows for gesture-initiated transfer of digital content from a mobile device to at least one other device which may also be a mobile device. The platform includes an application that leverages components which help in determining the pose of the mobile device. Upon detecting a gesturing motion (e.g., a throwing or casting motion), the system begins transfer of digital content (such as the current application or a set of pre-packaged information) to the at least one other device. The throwing or casting direction is analyzed to determine the appropriate device or devices to receive the content. | 04-14-2011 |
