摘要

A terminal for providing an augmented reality service. The terminal comprises a receiver configured to receive, from a first server configured to provide an augmented reality service for a first region or a second server configured to provide an augmented reality service for a second region that is differentiated from the first region, information for the second region. The terminal further comprises a display unit configured to display an augmented reality service in a first mode in the first region and an augmented reality service in a second mode in the second region. The terminal further comprises a controller configured to control the display unit to perform an augmented reality service in the first mode or the second mode, and to control a switch from performing an augmented reality service in the first mode to performing an augmented reality service in the second mode. When entering the second region from the first region while the controller is controlling the display unit to perform an augmented reality service in the first mode, the controller is further configured to control the display unit to output the information for the second region while the controller is controlling the switch to the augmented reality service in the second mode. A corresponding method is also disclosed. An apparatus comprising the terminal, a first server and a second server is also disclosed.
