Multi Mode Augmented Reality Search Systems

摘要

Augmented reality systems recall prescribed stored information relating to scenes being addressed by an optical imager based upon a multiplicity of alternative search modes each based upon different criteria related to both systems states and environmental states. Primarily, sensor based and visual based search modes are switched depending upon physical states of these augmented reality type platforms. When deployed in near-field uses, information recall is primarily based upon image recognition algorithms and strategy. Conversely, when these augmented reality imaging systems are deployed in far-field type uses, search modes switch to those modes based upon sensors which measure physical attributes and states of the device, and subsystems to determine probable matter being addressed.

1. Methods for generating a plurality of search results in an optical device to be presented for selection by a user comprising the steps:
a) performing a visual based search based upon analysis of an image captured by the optical device; b) performing a sensor based search based upon physical states of the optical device; and c) displaying search results graphically in a user interface list for selection by a user.
