Abstract

Provided is an augmented reality-based information acquiring method and apparatus. The method is applied to a mobile terminal, including: determining whether a distance between the mobile terminal and an augmented reality target is shorter than a preset distance according to the position, a moving speed and a moving direction of the mobile terminal; sending acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to a server by the mobile terminal, if the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance; receiving and using augmented reality to display information of a point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server and the current scenario. The embodiments of the present application can use the augmented reality technology to acquire information of a point of interest related to an augmented reality target in real time.

Claims (41)

1. An augmented reality based information acquiring method, wherein the method is applied to a mobile terminal and comprises:

determining whether a distance between the mobile terminal and an augmented reality target is shorter than a preset distance according to a position, a moving speed and a moving direction of the mobile terminal, comprising:

determining an initial moving speed of the mobile terminal according to a motion mode corresponding to a received user-inputted instruction; and

adjusting the initial moving speed according to a historical moving speed of the mobile terminal on a navigation route;

sending acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to a server by the mobile terminal, based on determining that the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance; and

receiving and using augmented reality to display information of a point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server and the current scenario.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance according to the position, the moving speed and the moving direction of the mobile terminal comprises:

determining that the augmented reality target is a big target; and

using a global positioning system to determine whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to the server by the mobile terminal, based on determining that the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance, comprises:

based on determining that the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance, determining whether the mobile terminal is in a state that it can receive and display augmented reality content; and

based on determining that the mobile terminal is in the state that it can receive and display the augmented reality content, sending the acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to the server.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein based on determining that the mobile terminal is in the state that it can receive and display the augmented reality content, sending the acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to the server further comprises:

based on determining that the mobile terminal is in the state that it can receive and display the augmented reality content, sending user demand information to the server.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the acquired current scenario information comprises at least one of scenario positioning parameter information, scenario marking object information, scenario marking object images, and user images.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein receiving and using augmented reality to display information of the point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server and the current scenario comprises:

receiving information of the point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server; and

performing augmented reality processing on the current scenario and the information of the point of interest related to the augmented reality target and displaying the same.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the information of the point of interest comprises: promotional information corresponding to preference information acquired from historical behavior information of the user.

8. An augmented reality-based information acquiring apparatus, wherein the apparatus is implemented in a mobile terminal and comprises:

a distance determining module configured to determine whether a distance between the mobile terminal and an augmented reality target is shorter than a preset distance according to a position, a moving speed and a moving direction of the mobile terminal, wherein the distance determining module is configured to:

determine an initial moving speed of the mobile terminal according to a motion mode corresponding to a received user-inputted instruction, and

adjust the initial moving speed according to a historical moving speed of the mobile terminal on a navigation route;

an information sending module configured to send acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to a server by the mobile terminal, if the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance; and

a scenario displaying module configured to receive and use augmented reality to display information of a point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server and the current scenario.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the distance determining module comprises:

a big target determining unit configured to use a global positioning system, if the augmented reality target is a big target, to determine whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance; and

a small target determining unit configured to use a prestored navigation map, if the augmented reality target is a small target, to determine whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the information sending module comprises:

a state determining unit configured to determine whether the mobile terminal is in a state that it can receive and display augmented reality content, if the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance; and

a target sending unit configured to send the acquired current scenario information and augmented reality target information to the server, if the mobile terminal is in the state that it can receive and display the augmented reality content.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the target sending unit further comprises:

a demand sending unit configured to send user demand information to the server, if the mobile terminal is in the state that it can receive and display the augmented reality content.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the acquired current scenario information comprises at least one of scenario positioning parameter information, scenario marking object information, scenario marking object images, and user images.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the scenario displaying module comprises:

an information receiving unit configured to receive information of the point of interest related to the augmented reality target sent by the server; and

an information displaying unit configured to perform augmented reality processing on the current scenario and the information of the point of interest related to the augmented reality target and display the same.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the information of the point of interest comprises: promotional information corresponding to preference information acquired from historical behavior information of the user.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance according to the position, the moving speed and the moving direction of the mobile terminal comprises:

determining that the augmented reality target is a small target; and

using a prestored navigation map to determine whether the distance between the mobile terminal and the augmented reality target is shorter than the preset distance.
