Rendering a digital element
Rendering a digital element is disclosed. An indication that a device is within a region associated with the digital element is received. It is determined that the digital element is to be rendered. A representation of the digital element is generated in a rendered view of the region. The digital element is provided upon receiving an indication that the digital element has been selected.
1. A system for rendering a digital element, comprising:
a memory configured to store the digital element, wherein the digital element is associated with a region; and
a processor configured to:
receive an indication that the system is within a field of view of the digital element but not within the region;
determine that the digital element is to be rendered;
generate an augmented reality representation of the digital element in a rendered view of the region without rendering a content of the digital element, wherein the augmented reality representation of the digital element is not indicated as being selectable;
receive an indication that the system is within the region and in response visually indicate that the augmented reality representation of the digital element is selectable;
receive a user selection indication that selects the generated augmented reality representation to obtain the content of the digital element; and
provide the content of the digital element upon receiving the user selection indication.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element includes one or more of the following: a text, a message, an image, an audio, a video, a route, a location identifier, a link, an icon, a coupon, a key, a geographical reference, a file, a promotion, an advertisement, a monetary object, and an interactive element.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element was received from a server at least in part in response to sending a location identifier of the system.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element may be only accessed by one or more specified users.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element includes content provided by a first user for another user.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element includes content private to a single user.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a number of times the digital element may be accessed.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a time when the digital element may be accessed.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a status associated with the region.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the region encompasses a physical location within a predetermined distance from a physical location point.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication that the system is within the region is provided at least in part by comparing a determined physical location with a placement location of the digital element.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication that the system is within the region is provided at least in part by using a location sensor included in the system.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating the representation includes using an image captured using a camera included in the system.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the generating the representation includes superimposing the representation of the digital element on the rendered view of the region.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein in response to the indication that the system is within the region, the system provides a notification that the digital element may be obtained.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines that the digital element is to be rendered using a user configured filter.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor determines that the digital element is to be rendered using a rule specified by a creator of the digital element.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication that the digital element has been selected is received in response to a user gesture input.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the representation of the digital element includes rendering an audio.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the representation of the digital element includes rendering a haptic feedback.
21. A method for rendering a digital element, comprising:
receiving an indication that a device is within a field of view of the digital element but not within a region associated with the digital element;
determining that the digital element is to be rendered;
using a processor to generate an augmented reality representation of the digital element in a rendered view of the region without rendering a content of the digital element, wherein the augmented reality representation of the digital element is not indicated as being selectable;
receiving an indication that the device is within the region and in response visually indicate that the augmented reality representation of the digital element is selectable;
receiving a user selection indication that selects the generated augmented reality representation to obtain the content of the digital element; and
providing the content of the digital element upon receiving the user selection indication.
22. A computer program product for rendering a digital element, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving an indication that a device is within a field of view of the digital element but not within a region associated with the digital element;
determining that the digital element is to be rendered;
generating an augmented reality representation of the digital element in a rendered view of the region without rendering a content of the digital element, wherein the augmented reality representation of the digital element is not indicated as being selectable;
receiving an indication that the device is within the region and in response visually indicate that the augmented reality representation of the digital element is selectable;
receiving a user selection indication that selects the generated augmented reality representation to obtain the content of the digital element; and
providing the content of the digital element upon receiving the user selection indication.
23. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element includes one or more of the following: a text, a message, an image, an audio, a video, a route, a location identifier, a link, an icon, a coupon, a key, a geographical reference, a file, a promotion, an advertisement, a monetary object, and an interactive element.
24. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element may be only accessed by one or more specified users.
25. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element includes content provided by a first user for another user.
26. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a number of times the digital element may be accessed.
27. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a time when the digital element may be accessed.
28. The method of claim 21 , wherein the digital element is associated with a restriction based at least in part on a status associated with the region.
29. The computer program product of claim 22 , wherein the digital element includes one or more of the following: a text, a message, an image, an audio, a video, a route, a location identifier, a link, an icon, a coupon, a key, a geographical reference, a file, a promotion, an advertisement, a monetary object, and an interactive element.
