CACHING SUPPORT FOR VISUAL SEARCH AND AUGMENTED REALITY IN MOBILE NETWORKS

摘要

A visual search and augmented reality are performed in a communication system that includes an Internet network attached to a mobile network. Data related to objects that are geographically related to at least one intermediate node is stored in at least one intermediate node in the mobile network. This involves transmitting a request for metadata from a user equipment in the mobile network towards the Internet network via the at least one intermediate node. The request comprises object recognition data related to an object geographically related to the at least one intermediate node. The request is de-tunnelled and intercepted in an intermediate node of the at least one intermediate node.
