Application: Locating content in an environment (Patent ID: US20240089695A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a method that involves capturing an image of a machine-readable data representation on a physical object using a device camera, decoding the data to determine its value, selecting a content source based on the data, obtaining content and location information from the source, determining the content's position and orientation relative to the object, and displaying the content on the device accordingly. The system includes a processor that executes instructions to perform these operations, including obtaining content and location information by sending a request to the source, matching a three-dimensional model of the content to the object's configuration, and displaying content within the camera's field of view.
The patent also covers a non-transitory computer-readable storage device with program instructions that enable processors to carry out the method's operations, such as obtaining data from a physical object, selecting a content source, determining content position and orientation, and displaying the content in a physical environment. The device allows for requesting content from a source, matching a three-dimensional model to the object's configuration, displaying content within the camera's field of view, and selecting a content source from multiple options based on identifiers. This technology enables the seamless integration of digital content with physical objects, enhancing user experiences and interactions.
