Method for providing information on object within view of terminal device, terminal device for same and computer-readable recording medium
The present invention relates to a method for providing information on an object included in a visual field of a terminal in a form of augmented reality (AR) by using an image inputted to the terminal and its relating information. The method includes the steps of: (a) specifying the visual field of the terminal corresponding to the inputted image by referring to at least one piece of information on a location, a displacement and a viewing angle of the terminal; and (b) acquiring a graphic element corresponding to the object, included in the visual field of the terminal, whose identity is recognized by using a technology for matching a building image and displaying the acquired graphic element with the inputted image in the form of the augmented reality by providing the graphic element on a location of the object displayed on a screen of the terminal.
1. A method for providing information objects included in a visual field of a terminal in a form of augmented reality (AR) by using an image inputted to the terminal and its relating information, comprising:
specifying the visual field of the terminal as a three dimensional region corresponding to the inputted image by referring to information on a location, a displacement and a viewing angle of the terminal; and
acquiring graphic elements corresponding to the objects included in the visual field of the terminal, whose identities are recognized by using a technology for matching a building image and displaying the acquired graphic elements with the inputted image in the form of the augmented reality by providing the graphic elements on a location of the object displayed on a screen of the terminal,
wherein displaying the graphic elements, respectively, corresponding to a first object which is included in the visual field of the terminal and is displayed on a screen thereof and a second object which is included in the visual field thereof and is not displayed on the screen by being hidden by the first object, wherein a part of a graphic element corresponding to the second object is displayed to be overlapped behind a graphic element corresponding to the first object, wherein the graphic element includes one of a brand, logo or pattern landmark associated with the object.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the visual field is specified by a viewing frustum whose vertex corresponds to the terminal.
3. A non-transitory medium recording a computer readable program to execute the method of claim 1 .
4. A terminal for providing information objects included in a visual field thereof in a form of augmented reality (AR) by using an image inputted thereto and information related thereto, comprising:
a processor executing:
a location and displacement measuring part for specifying the visual field as a three dimensional region corresponding to the inputted image by referring to information on a location, a displacement and a viewing angle thereof;
an information searching part for recognizing the object included in the visual field thereof, if being inputted as a query, whose identity is recognized by using a technology for matching a building image and acquiring graphic elements corresponding to the objects; and
a user interface part for displaying, with the inputted image, the acquired graphic elements, which is provided on a location of the objects displayed on a screen thereof, in the form of the augmented reality,
wherein displaying the graphic elements, respectively, corresponding to a first object which is included in the visual field of the terminal and is displayed on a screen thereof and a second object which is included in the visual field thereof and is not displayed on the screen by being hidden by the first object, wherein a part of a graphic element corresponding to the second object is displayed to be overlapped behind a graphic element corresponding to the first object, wherein the graphic element includes one of a brand, logo or pattern landmark associated with the object.
5. The terminal of claim 4 , wherein the visual field is specified by a viewing frustum whose vertex corresponds thereto.
