Displaying network content searches on mobile devices involves obtaining results of a network content request via a mobile device. A geolocation of at least one object associated with the results of the network content request is also obtained. A scene is viewed in a camera view of the mobile device. A virtual location is determined in the camera view. The virtual location represents the actual location of the object relative to the scene contained in the camera view. A graphic representing the object is then displayed at the virtual location in the camera view.

Displaying network objects in mobile devices based on geolocation

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof, which can obtain an image, are provided. A mobile terminal (100) includes a camera unit (121), a pictogram extraction unit (182) and a controller (180). The camera unit (121) obtains image information corresponding to at least one of a still image and a moving image. The pictogram extraction unit (182) extracts at least one pictogram from the obtained image information. The controller (180) detects information related to the extracted pictogram, and displays the detected information to be overlapped with the obtained image information. In the mobile terminal, the controller (180) includes, as the detected information, at least one of previously recorded information and currently searched information related to the extracted pictogram.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

A method of operating a navigation system determines a route between an origin and a destination and provides a photographic image showing a geographic area through which the route passes. The photographic image shows the geographic area from a land-based viewpoint. The method overlays a route highlight on the photographic image identifying a path to be traveled. The route highlight includes a symbol indicating at least one feature of the route selected from a group consisting of handicap accessible route, tree-lined route, well-lit route, quiet route, scenic route, crowded route, peaceful route, and bicycle friendly route.

Method of operating a navigation system using images

A system and method for making computer-generated maps includes a different scale factor for each road in a route The scale factors are used to optimize the route map against a target function that considers factors such as the number of false intersections in the route and the number of roads falling below a minimum length threshold A refinement technique such as simulated annealing is used to find a solution to the target function Each road in the scaled map is rendered to provide a finished product having the appearance of a hand-drawn map The finished product includes context roads that intersect the main route but are not part of the main route Furthermore, the hand-drawn map is optimized to the characteristics of the viewport used to visualize the map

System and method for abstracting and visualizing a route map

The present invention is directed to a system and method for correlating an image with information associated with the image comprising identifying image metadata for the image, wherein the image metadata includes information associated with conditions at the time of image capture, searching one or more information sources using parameters in the image metadata to collect inference information from the information sources, and displaying the inference information to a user.

System and method for applying inference information to digital camera metadata to identify digital picture content

The device and system for sight labeling according to the present invention comprises an image acquiring section for taking images, a position information acquiring section for recording a camera position while the images are being taken, a camera descriptive information acquiring section for acquiring the camera angle, focal distance and image size while the image are being taken, a map information management section for managing map information, determining a view space inside map information space based on the acquired position, camera angle, focal distance and image size, and capturing constructions present inside the view space, a label information preparation section for preparing label information including the names or descriptive information of constructions and transfer positions, a labeling information output section for overlaying the names or descriptive information from the map information at positions in the images corresponding to position information in the prepared label information, and a control section for controlling each of the sections described above.
