Patent number: 11527044Abstract: A method for providing a personalized augmented reality (AR) display includes obtaining, at an augmented reality apparatus, image data of a camera field of view, the camera field of view covering a field of view of an externally oriented camera of the augmented reality apparatus, identifying a first object in the camera field of view based on the image data, and mapping a position of the first object relative to an augmented reality (AR) field of view. The method further includes determining, based on the identity of the first object, whether the first object is an augmentation target, and responsive to determining that the first object is the augmentation target, displaying, on the internally-facing display, an item of AR content associated with the augmentation target in the AR field of view.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sridhar Kocharlakota, Moiz Sonasath

Patent number: 11366561Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer readable media for control of user interface windows in a virtual reality environment. The method includes displaying a window in a viewable area of a virtual reality environment on a display of a head mountable device (HMD), the viewable area determined based on orientation of the HMD. The method further includes receiving a request to lock a position of the window in the viewable area and locking the position of the window in the viewable area in response to the lock request. The position of the window is fixed in the viewable area relative to the orientation of the HMD, when locked, regardless of the orientation of the HMD.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sridhar Kocharlakota, Moiz Sonasath, Brett Foster, Keshav Byri, Kuldeep Modi, Nalena Santiago, Siva Boggala, Siva Penke

Patent number: 10803674Abstract: An electronic device is provided that has a heat mountable device (HMD) with a display, some sensors, a network interface, and a memory that are all interconnected with a processor. First context is created for a virtual reality (VR) application. The VR application includes a default virtual object and a virtual environment. Second context is obtained from the physical world. The first context and the second context are combined to create a combined context that includes physical world details with the first context. A determination is made as to whether a replacement virtual object, relevant to the combined context, is available. When a replacement virtual object is available, it can be obtained and substituted for the default virtual object in the virtual environment. The virtual environment can then be displayed with the replacement virtual object instead of the default virtual object.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sridhar Kocharlakota, Moiz Kaizar Sonasath

Patent number: 9185183Abstract: A method and system for providing location-based user information using a map is disclosed. The method includes displaying a plurality of local areas on a map. If one of the plurality of local areas is selected, user information corresponding to the selected local area is loaded, where the user information contains a name of a user, a phone number of the user, a subscribed local area where a wireless communication network service to which the user subscribes is provided, and a current local area where the user is currently receiving a wireless communication network service. The selected local area is displayed by distinguishing the selected local area from non-selected other local areas, a local time of the selected local area, and the user name from among the loaded user information. When displaying the user name, the phone number, the subscribed local area and the current local area are selectively displayed in addition to the user name.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Sridhar Kocharlakota
