Abstract

Techniques for collecting and presenting information using a wearable device involve receiving criteria information data that specifies one or more criteria for providing information to a user of a wearable device; receiving information indicative of a field of view of the user of the wearable device; detecting that an object in the field of view is associated with one or more attributes that satisfy the user-specified criteria; responsive to detection, executing a rule associated with one or more attributes that satisfy the user-specified criteria; and based on execution of the rule, causing an informational depiction to be presented via a display of the wearable device that visually eliminates or enhances the detected object in the field of view of the user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more machine-readable hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to:
receive criteria information data that specifies one or more criteria for providing information to a user of a wearable device, wherein the criteria information data includes physiological data of the user as received from one or more of a blood pressure monitor or a cholesterol monitor associated with the user;
receive information indicative of a field of view of the user of the wearable device, the field of view including a plurality of physical objects visible to the user;
detect that at least one physical object in the field of view is associated with one or more attributes from a first set of attributes;
identify a second set of attributes of the detected at least one physical object by mapping the first set of attributes to one or more keywords in a data repository and extracting one or more of the keywords as the second set of attributes;
responsive to detection and identification, execute a rule associated with one or more attributes from the first set of attributes or one or more attributes from the second set of attributes that satisfy the criteria; and
based on execution of the rule, cause an overlay to be presented via a display of the wearable device that visually removes the detected physical object in the field of view of the user so as to reduce a number of physical objects visible to the user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive location data indicative of a current geographic location of the user; and
identify at least one of the plurality of physical objects in the field of view based on the location data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
cause alternative recommendations information to be presented via the display of the wearable device based on the one or more criteria.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive one or more images captured by a camera of the wearable device; and
detect at least one physical object in the one or more images captured by the camera.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
identify the at least one physical object in the one or more images captured by the camera using optical character recognition.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more criteria comprise at least one of an attribute of a product, an attribute of a company, or a value relating to a financial item.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
retrieve notification information pertaining to one or more of the plurality of physical objects in the field of view; and
cause the notification information to be presented via a display of the wearable device based on the retrieved information satisfying the one or more criteria.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors and the one or more machine-readable hardware storage devices are contained within the wearable device.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors and the one or more machine-readable hardware storage devices are contained within a server computing device that is coupled to the wearable device.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the overlay comprises an opaque shape positioned on an area of the display of the wearable device that corresponds to a location of the physical object in the field of view, and wherein the opaque shape visually eliminates the physical object from the field of view.

11. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage device, the computer program comprising instructions to cause a processor to:
receive criteria information data that specifies one or more criteria for providing information to a user of a wearable device, wherein the criteria information data includes physiological data of the user as received from one or more of a blood pressure monitor or a cholesterol monitor associated with the user;
receive information indicative of a field of view of the user of the wearable device, the field of view including a plurality of physical objects visible to the user;
detect that at least one physical object in the field of view is associated with one or more attributes from a first set of attributes;
identify a second set of attributes of the detected at least one physical object by mapping the first set of attributes to one or more keywords in a data repository and extracting one or more of the keywords as the second set of attributes;
responsive to detection and identification, execute a rule associated with one or more attributes from the first set of attributes or one or more attributes from the second set of attributes that satisfy the criteria; and
based on execution of the rule, cause an overlay to be presented via a display of the wearable device that visually removes the detected physical object in the field of view of the user so as to reduce a number of physical objects visible to the user.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
receive location data indicative of a current geographic location of the user; and
identify at least one of the plurality of physical objects in the field of view based on the location data.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
cause alternative recommendations information to be presented via the display of the wearable device based on the one or more criteria.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
receive one or more images captured by a camera of the wearable device; and
detect at least one physical object in the one or more images captured by the camera.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
identify the at least one physical object in the one or more images captured by the camera using optical character recognition.

16. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the one or more criteria comprise at least one of an attribute of a product, an attribute of a company, or a value relating to a financial item.

17. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to:
retrieve notification information pertaining to one or more of the plurality of physical objects in the field of view; and
cause the notification information to be presented via a display of the wearable device based on the retrieved information satisfying the one or more criteria.

18. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the overlay comprises an opaque shape positioned on an area of the display of the wearable device that corresponds to a location of the physical object in the field of view, and wherein the opaque shape visually eliminates the physical object from the field of view.

19. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, criteria information data that specifies one or more criteria for providing information to a user of a wearable device, wherein the criteria information data includes physiological data of the user as received from one or more of a blood pressure monitor or a cholesterol monitor associated with the user;
receiving, by the o
