Provision of target specific information

摘要

The invention concerns an electronic device (10) for providing information (PUB_INFO, PERSON1_INFO) concerning one or more targets (PUB, PERSON1), relative to which target the device is to be aligned in a set manner, and in connection with which device are arranged—at least one source (GPS, BM, COMP, TS, MEM) of first information (X, Y, ALT, Odevice, IMSI_10.0), including at least a source of position and orientation information, in order to define the position of the device and the target, or for positioning the target and—aiming means (CAM, DISP) for aligning the target relative to the device in a set manner, and in connection with which device, second information relating to the target can be arranged, which second information is arranged, in connection with the application of the aiming means, to be brought to the attention of the user by means of the device. The aiming means consist camera and viewfinder means (CAM, DISP).

主权项

1. A method comprising:
determining, at an apparatus, position and orientation information of the apparatus when a field of view of a viewfinder of the apparatus covers a target object; determining, at the apparatus, a distance between the target object and the apparatus based on one or more zoom settings of the viewfinder, distance sensor data collected by the apparatus, or a combination thereof; transmitting an information request from the apparatus via a network to another apparatus, wherein the information request includes the position and orientation information of the apparatus and the distance; receiving feedback information corresponding to the target object from the another apparatus via the network to the apparatus, wherein the feedback information includes identification of the target object; and rendering the feedback information in the viewfinder, a sound-reproducing device, or a combination thereof, wherein the target object is identified by the another apparatus based on the position and orientation information of the apparatus and the distance without using image recognition.
