  • Patent number: 10528621
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for sorting a search result with multiple space objects. The method is operated in a mobile device, and firstly a photographing unit therein is activated to capture an image of a real scene. The system receives the image information and the space information of the mobile device. The system conducts a comparison search using the captured space information/image information against a database for generating a preliminary search result. The space objects in the search result are sorted for generating a ranking list. One of the ranking criteria is based on the relevance data of the user for determining high relevance space objects. The basis for ranking can be time, objective data, or a system weighted value associated with every object. Then the mobile device displays the highest ranked space object from the search result combined with the real scene.

  • Patent number: 10515103
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for managing viewability of a location-based spatial object. The system provides subscribers to set up searching criteria for every spatial object through the viewability management mechanism. A viewable range for a spatial object is such as a spatial range, a user range and/or a time range. While the system inspects the spatial information and searching criteria of the spatial objects registered in a database, it may be found that the viewable ranges of multiple spatial objects are interfered under the same searching criteria. Thus, the system allows the subscribers to assign ranking weights to different spatial objects for giving them different values. As a result, the system adjusts an order to display the multiple spatial objects according to their ranking weights under the same searching criteria. A search result is displayed through an augmented-reality technology in a terminal device.
