Detecting a document using one or more sensors
View Patent ↗A mobile device may have a rear facing camera and a depth sensor to capture a portion of a document or a book in an environment. A processor may identify the document or the book based on the captured portion, a captured first part of the environment, a captured second part of the environment, and information received via a network adapter.
1. A mobile device comprising:
a rear facing camera and a depth sensor configured to capture a portion of a document or a book in an environment;
two or more cameras configured to capture a first part of the environment and to capture a second part of the environment;
a processor configured to identify the document or the book based on the captured portion, the captured first part of the environment, the captured second part of the environment, and information received via a network adapter; and
wherein tracking information of furniture the identified document or the book has been at is retrieved by the mobile device.
2. The mobile device of claim 1 further comprising:
the processor is configured to utilize assistance information for the identification of the document or the book; and
wherein the assistance information is obtained, by the mobile device, from the captured first part of the environment or the captured second part of the environment.
3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein additional information related to the identified document or the book is received, by the mobile device via the network adapter, from a server.
4. A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:
capturing, by a rear facing camera and a depth sensor of the mobile device, a portion of a document or a book in an environment;
capturing, by two or more cameras of the mobile device, a first part of the environment and a second part of the environment;
identifying, by the mobile device, the document or the book based on the captured portion, the captured first part of the environment, the captured second part of the environment, and information received via a network adapter; and
wherein tracking information of furniture the identified document or the book has been at is retrieved by the mobile device.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
utilizing, by the mobile device, assistance information for the identification of the document or the book; and
wherein the assistance information is obtained, by the mobile device, from the captured first part of the environment or the captured second part of the environment.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein additional information related to the identified document or the book is received, by the mobile device via the network adapter, from a server.
7. A mobile device comprising:
a rear facing camera and a depth sensor configured to capture a portion of a document in an environment;
two or more cameras configured to capture a first part of the environment and to capture a second part of the environment;
a processor configured to identify the paper document based on the captured portion, the captured first part of the environment, the captured second part of the environment, and information received via a network adapter; and
wherein tracking information of furniture the identified document has been at is retrieved by the mobile device.
8. The mobile device of claim 7 further comprising:
the processor is configured to utilize assistance information for the identification of the document; and
wherein the assistance information is obtained, by the mobile device, from the captured first part of the environment or the captured second part of the environment.
9. The mobile device of claim 7 , wherein additional information related to the identified document is received, by the mobile device via the network adapter, from a server.
