Abstract

The invention relates to a method for generating content in augmented reality mode for an equipment item (E) situated in the real world, by employing a mobile terminal ( 1 ) provided with a screen ( 11 ), the method comprising: a step of determining an augmented reality database stored in an augmented reality server (S 1 ), a step of reading, using the mobile terminal, a matrix code ( 20 ) or an electronic tag associated with said equipment item (E), said matrix code ( 20 ) or said electronic tag respectively coding or comprising an address linked to a content, a step of memorizing said address, a step of generating a graphical interface component (Wx) corresponding to said address allowing access to said content, a step of memorizing the graphical interface component (Wx) in the database (DB) stored in the augmented reality server (S 1 ).

Claims (27)

1. A method for generating content in an augmented reality mode for an equipment item situated in the real world, by employing a mobile terminal provided with a screen, comprising:

determining an augmented reality database stored in an augmented reality server;

reading, using the mobile terminal, a matrix code or an electronic tag associated with said equipment item, said matrix code or said electronic tag respectively comprising an address linked to a content;

memorizing said address;

generating a graphical interface component corresponding to said address to allow selection, on a screen of the mobile terminal, of said content in the augmented reality mode on an image of the equipment item to access said content;

receiving, in the augmented reality mode, user input to move the graphical interface component relative to said equipment item in the image;

creating, in the augmented reality mode, an association between the graphical interface component and said equipment item based on a location of the graphical interface component relative to the equipment item in the image; and

memorizing the association between the graphical interface component and the equipment item in the augmented reality database stored in the augmented reality server,

wherein the user input to move the graphical interface component relative to the equipment item is received via a touch screen of the mobile terminal, and a position of the graphical interface component is determined based on a geographic reference frame.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix code is a Quick Response (QR) code or equivalent.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic tag is of a Near Field Communication (NFC) or a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) type.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the graphical interface component includes a text or a symbol.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the graphical interface component includes a pop-up menu.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the graphical interface component includes a plurality of levels of detail.

7. A system for generating content in an augmented reality mode for an equipment item situated in the real world, comprising:

a processor configured to

determine an augmented reality database stored in an augmented reality server;

read a matrix code or an electronic tag associated with said equipment item, said matrix code or said electronic tag respectively comprising an address linked to a content, said electronic tag being associated with a content;

memorize said address;

generate a graphical interface component corresponding to said address to allow selection, on a screen of the system, of said content in the augmented reality mode on an image of the equipment item to access said content;

receive, in the augmented reality mode, user input to move the graphical interface component relative to said equipment item in the image;

create, in the augmented reality mode, an association between the graphical interface component and said equipment item based on a location of the graphical interface component relative to the equipment item in the image; and

memorize the association between the graphical interface component and the equipment item in the augmented reality database stored in the augmented reality server,

wherein the user input to move the graphical interface component relative to the equipment item is determined based on a geographic reference frame.

8. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the matrix code is a Quick Response (QR) code or equivalent.

9. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic tag is of a Near Field Communication (NFC) or a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) type.

10. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the graphical interface component includes a text or a symbol.
