Intuitive computing methods and systems

摘要

The present disclosure describes portable devices (e.g., smart phones and tablets), related methods and systems. One claim relates to a portable computing device including a device input for initiating a discovery mode. The discovery mode includes processing camera-captured video imagery or microphone-captured audio to obtain identification of an object depicted in camera-captured video imagery or to obtain identification of microphone-captured audio. The portable computing device operates to initiate a discovery mode including processing real-time video imagery captured with a camera, cause a sensor pane to be displayed on a touch screen display, in which real-time captured video imagery is displayed along with augmented reality graphics within the sensor pane, and cause user-selectable graphic icons to be displayed within a first area of the touch screen display, and cause a user-selectable graphic icon to be displayed on touch screen display to facilitate switching discovery modes from image to audio.

主权项

1. A portable tablet computing device comprising:
a wireless communications interface; a touch screen display; a camera for capturing video imagery; a microphone for capturing audio; a device input for initiating a discovery mode, in which the discovery mode includes processing camera-captured video imagery or microphone-captured audio to obtain identification of an object depicted in camera-captured video imagery or to obtain identification of microphone-captured audio, an identification obtained through the wireless communications interface; one or more multi-core processors; and memory storing software instructions for configuring said one or more multi-core processors for:
responsive to a request received via said device input, initiating a discovery mode including processing real-time video imagery captured with said camera;causing a sensor pane to be displayed on said touch screen display, in which real-time captured video imagery is displayed along with augmented reality graphics within the sensor pane, and causing user-selectable graphic icons to be displayed within a first area of said touch screen display;causing highlighting of an object represented in captured real-time video imagery that is displayed within the sensor pane; andcausing a user-selectable graphic icon to be displayed on said touch screen display to facilitate switching discovery modes from image to audio.
