发明名称 Range of focus in an augmented reality application
摘要 A computer-implemented augmented reality method includes receiving one or more indications, entered on a mobile computing device by a user of the mobile computing device, of a distance range for determining items to display with an augmented reality application, the distance range representing geographic distance from a base point where the mobile computing device is located. The method also includes selecting, from items in a computer database, one or more items that are located within the distance range from the mobile computing device entered by the user, and providing data for representing labels for the selected one or more items on a visual display of the mobile computing device, the labels corresponding to the selected items, and the items corresponding to geographical features that are within the distance range as measure from the mobile computing device.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: sending, by a mobile computing device to a computing system, a search query that was entered at the mobile computing device; receiving, by the mobile computing device from the computing system, a first set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the search query and that pertain to geographical features that are located within a first geographic zone, the first geographic zone including a base geographic point at which the mobile computing device is located, wherein the first geographic zone is an area in which at least a portion of a boundary of the area is a first geographic distance from the base geographic point; receiving, by the mobile computing device from the computing system, a second set of one or more items that are search results responsive to the search query and that pertain to geographical features that are located within a second geographic zone, wherein the second geographic zone is an area in which at least a portion of a boundary of the area is a second geographic distance from the base geographic point, wherein the second geographic zone contains at least a portion of the first geographic zone, wherein the second geographic distance is greater than the first geographic distance, and wherein the second set of one or more items pertains to geographical features that are located in a region of the second geographic zone that excludes the first geographic zone; displaying, by the mobile computing device, a first set of one or more labels that correspond to the first set of one or more items, each label in the first set of labels corresponding to a respective geographical feature that is located within the first geographic zone; storing, by the mobile computing device, information regarding the second set of one or more items but not displaying a second set of one or more labels that correspond to the second set of one or more items while one or more geographical features to which the second set of one or more items pertains is within a region of the second geographic zone that excludes the first geographic zone; determining, by the mobile computing device, that the mobile computing device has moved, from the base geographic point to a new geographic location, toward a geographic feature to which a particular item of the second set of one or more items pertains such that the geographic feature to which the particular item pertains has become within the first geographic distance of the new geographic location of the mobile computing device of the geographic feature after the determined movement; and displaying, by the mobile computing device, a label that corresponds to the particular item in response to determining that the mobile computing device has moved toward the geographic feature to which the particular item of the second set of one or more items pertains such that the geographic feature to which the particular item pertains is within the first geographic distance of the new geographic location of the mobile computing device of the geographic feature after the determined movement.
