Abstract

Augmented reality apparatus and methods of use are provided with secure persistent digital content linked to three-dimensional location coordinates. More specifically, the present method links a physical location with digital content to enable a user interface with augmented reality that combines aspects of the physical area with a three-dimensional location specific digital content. According to the present method, digital content remains persistent with a location even if visual aspects of the location change.

Claims (30)

1. Apparatus for accessing digital content associated with a selected area within a structure, the apparatus comprising:

a) a smart device supportable by a person, the smart device comprising; an optical capture device, a touchscreen display, and a digital storage storing executable software code in logical communication with a processor, the software code executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to:

i) generate a three-dimensional representation of the structure in a user interactive interface on the smart device;

ii) create a tag by associating positional coordinates with the digital content;

iii) generate an area of interest within the three-dimensional representation of the structure, with the area of interest comprising a geometric shape;

iv) include the positional coordinates associated with the digital content within the geometric shape;

v) activate an interactive area of the user interactive interface on the smart device, the interactive area comprising the area of interest; and

vi) display the digital content associated with the positional coordinates,

wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to:

identify a background of an Agent activating the interactive area; and

display digital content specific to the background of the Agent once the background of the Agent has been identified.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the geometric shape comprises one or both of a polygon and an arcuate shape.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to include in the user interactive interface in icon comprising a dynamic portion representative of the tag.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to associate the interactive area with pixels comprising the icon.

5. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to include in the three-dimensional representation of the structure a floorplan descriptive of at least a portion of the structure.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the background of the Agent includes a profession of the Agent, and the digital content specific to the Agent is based on a region of interest selected by the Agent via interaction with the user interactive interface.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to include content in the three-dimensional representation of the structure in a user interactive interface based upon the Agent.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the tag comprises a virtual tag associated with a location identified via the positional coordinates.

9. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the tag comprises a physical tag associated with a location identified via the positional coordinates.

10. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the tag comprises a hybrid tag associated with a location identified via the positional coordinates.

11. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to: generate a digital safe, storing digital content, the digital safe accessible from within a specified area within the structure corresponding with location coordinates of the digital safe.

12. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to receive multiple disparate energy wavelengths into an energy receiving sensor in the smart device at an instance in time, the multiple disparate energy wavelengths received from different geospatial locations; and indicate the multiple disparate energy wavelengths in the user interactive interface with an icon comprising a dynamic portion representative of the Tag.

13. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the positional coordinates comprise Cartesian Coordinates.

14. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the positional coordinates comprise polar coordinates.

15. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to include in the interactive area an icon indicative of the digital content associated with the tag.

16. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to co-locate the tag with an IoT sensor; with the IoT sensor, quantify a condition present in the structure as digital data; and include the digital data quantifying the condition in the structure in the digital content included in the user interactive interface.

17. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the digital content displayed by activating the interactive area comprises a uniform resource locator.

18. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the digital content displayed by activating the interactive area comprises an ecommerce vehicle.

19. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the software code is additionally executable upon demand by the processor to cause the smart device to establish a known location within the structure.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 wherein the positional coordinates are relative to the known location.
