Managing augmented reality content associated with a physical location
The present disclosure relates to managing augmented reality content created on a first electronic device and viewed at a second electronic device. In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines its physical location, receives input representing user-generated augmented reality content, displays an augmented reality environment including the user-generated augmented reality content overlaid on a live view of the physical location, and sends the user-generated augmented reality content to an external storage repository. The second electronic device can then receive the user-generated augmented reality content, determine whether it is at the physical location, and display the user-generated augmented reality content when it is at the physical location.

determining a proximity of the electronic device to the future physical location.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
predicting a future physical location of the electronic device;
identifying augmented reality content associated with the future physical location, wherein the augmented reality content is associated with the future physical location based on a previous user request to associate the augmented reality content with the future physical location;
before the electronic device arrives at the future physical location, obtaining the identified augmented reality content;
upon arriving at the future physical location, displaying an affordance indicating availability of the obtained augmented reality content for display;
receiving a request to view the obtained augmented reality content; and
in response to receiving the request to view the obtained augmented reality content, displaying the obtained augmented reality content.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
obtaining images from one or more image sensors, wherein the obtained images include one or more predefined physical features present at the future physical location; and
determining a current location of the electronic device based at least in part on the obtained images.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the augmented reality content is displayed while the electronic device is at the future physical location.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
providing an alert when the obtained augmented reality content is available for display.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
receiving a destination, wherein the predicted future location is based on the received destination.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the identified augmented reality content includes content associated with additional physical locations along a route to the destination.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein predicting the future physical location comprises:
determining a direction of travel of the electronic device.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein predicting the future physical location comprises:
determining a proximity of the electronic device to the future physical location.
17. A method, comprising:
predicting a future physical location of the electronic device;
identifying augmented reality content associated with the future physical location, wherein the augmented reality content is associated with the future physical location based on a previous user request to associate the augmented reality content with the future physical location;
before the electronic device arrives at the future physical location, obtaining the identified augmented reality content;
upon arriving at the future physical location, displaying an affordance indicating availability of the obtained augmented reality content for display;
receiving a request to view the obtained augmented reality content; and
in response to receiving the request to view the obtained augmented reality content, displaying the obtained augmented reality content.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
obtaining images from one or more image sensors, wherein the obtained images include one or more predefined physical features present at the future physical location; and
determining a current location of the electronic device based at least in part on the obtained images.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the augmented reality content is displayed while the electronic device is at the future physical location.
