Displaying augmented images via paired devices

1. A method, comprising:

providing, from a mobile device to a paired device, a trigger image;

controlling the paired device to display the trigger image;

scanning the trigger image being displayed on the paired device into the mobile device;

displaying an augmented image of the trigger image on the mobile device; and

detecting a physical proximity of the mobile device to the trigger image and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving a user selection of the trigger image from a set of trigger images.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising receiving the set of trigger images from a trigger image distributer.

4. The method of claim 3 , comprising receiving the augmented image from the trigger image distributer.

5. The method of claim 1 , where the mobile device is a cellular phone and where the paired device is a smartwatch.

6. The method of claim 1 , where the augmented image includes at least a portion of the trigger image.

7. The method of claim 1 , where the augmented image is animated.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising modifying the trigger image to comply with a display of the paired device.

9. A system in a mobile device having a display, the system comprising:

a data store to store a set of trigger images and corresponding augmented images;

an augmented reality module to, upon detecting a trigger image, cause a corresponding augmented image to be shown on the display;

a preview module to allow a user to browse trigger images and to receive an input from the user associated with a selected trigger image;

a pairing module to control a paired device to display the selected trigger image to facilitate detection of the selected trigger image by the augmented reality module; and

a geographic trigger module to detect a physical proximity of the mobile device to the trigger image and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.

10. The system of claim 9 , where the mobile device comprises a camera, and where the augmented reality module detects the trigger image via the camera.

11. The system of claim 9 , comprising a trigger image receipt module to receive trigger images and corresponding augmented images from a control server and to store the received trigger images and corresponding augmented images in the data store.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:

receive a set of trigger images and a set of augmented images from an augmented reality data server, where members of the set of augmented images correspond to members of the set of trigger images;

provide members of the set of trigger images to a user;

receive a selection from the user associated with a member of the set of trigger images;

transmit the member of the set of trigger images to a paired device to cause the paired device to display the member of the set of trigger images;

scan the member of the set of trigger images being displayed by the paired device;

display the augmented image to the user, overlaying the scanned member of the set of trigger images; and

detect a physical proximity of the computer to the member of the set of trigger images and alert the user, via the paired device, of the physical proximity.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , where the computer is a cellular phone and where the paired device is a smartwatch.
