Patent number: 12281912Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device present navigation routes from various perspectives. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of representations of (e.g., physical) objects in the vicinity of a navigation route while presenting navigation directions. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of portions of a navigation route that are occluded by representations of (e.g., physical) objects in a map. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps in response to requests to search for (e.g., physical) objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ryan W. Apuy, Vincent P. Arroyo, Brian J. Andrich, Jaime Chen, Lukasz J. Pasek, Giovanni S. Luis, Sebastian A. Araya, Syed Mohsin Hasan, Eugene P. Sturm, Linghao Li, Benjamin R. Dreyer, Sarah A. Bergquist, William A. Viglakis, William N. Danner, Rachel A. Smith, Aaron P. Dennis, Richard A. Small, Kirill Negoda, Alexander J. O'Connell, Steven C. Beeby, Ryan Dignard

Publication number: 20240355058Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can present augmented reality (AR) labels in an AR video stream. For example, the computing device can obtain route information for a route requested by a user and can determine locations along the route for placing candidate AR labels. The computing device can determine the precise location of the computing device using camera depth information obtained in response to the user scanning the local real-world environment with a camera of the computing device. The computing device can select an AR label and/or label placement location for presentation in an AR video stream based on various criteria, including the distance between the candidate AR labels and the precise location of the computing device, priorities assigned to each candidate AR label, and/or whether a clear line of sight exists between the precise location of the computing device and the candidate AR label location.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2024Publication date: October 24, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ting-Yuan Wu, Lukasz J. Pasek, Ishan Bhutani, Syed Mohsin Hasan, Isil Uzum Vella, Eugene P. Sturm, Razvan Bangu, Paul F. Ahrens, Matthew B. Ball, Patrick J. Coleman, Benjamin R. Dreyer, Roy E. West, Brian J.
