Abstract

A location-based augmented-reality system to generate and cause display of augmented-reality content that includes three-dimensional typography, based on a perspective, and location of a client device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a memory; and
at least one hardware processor couple to the memory and comprising instructions that cause the system to perform operations comprising:
detecting a client device at a location;
accessing user profile data associated with a user of the client device responsive to detecting the client device at the location, the user profile data including a set of one or more locations associated with a user of the client device, the set of one or more locations including the location;
generating media content associated with the location based on the user profile data including the location among the set of one or more locations from within the user profile data;
accessing a surface model associated with the location; and
causing display of a presentation of the media content at the client device based on the surface model.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user profile data includes a language preference, and wherein the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
configuring the media content based on the language preference.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a perspective of the client device relative to the location; and
causing display of the presentation of the media content based on the surface model and the perspective.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the surface model depicts a set of features associated with the location, and wherein the determining the perspective of the client device relative to the location is based on the set of features.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the media content comprises a text string, and the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
generating the text string based on the user profile data.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the configuring the media content further comprises:
accessing the media content based on the location.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving from the client device, an input that defines an update to a property of the media content; and
storing the update to the property of the media content within a database.

8. A method comprising:
detecting a client device at a location;
accessing user profile data associated with a user of the client device responsive to detecting the client device at the location, the user profile data including a set of one or more locations associated with a user of the client device, the set of one or more locations including the location;
generating media content associated with the location based on the user profile data including the location among the set of one or more locations from within the user profile data;
accessing a surface model associated with the location; and
causing display of a presentation of the media content at the client device based on the surface model.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user profile data includes a language preference, and wherein the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
configuring the media content based on the language preference.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining a perspective of the client device relative to the location; and
causing display of the presentation of the media content based on the surface model and the perspective.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the surface model depicts a set of features associated with the location, and wherein the determining the perspective of the client device relative to the location is based on the set of features.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the media content comprises a text string, and the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
generating the text string based on the user profile data.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the configuring the media content further comprises:
accessing the media content based on the location.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving from the client device, an input that defines an update to a property of the media content; and
storing the update to the property of the media content within a database.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
detecting a client device at a location;
accessing user profile data associated with a user of the client device responsive to detecting the client device at the location, the user profile data including a set of one or more locations associated with the user of the client device, the set of one or more locations including the location;
generating media content associated with the location based on the user profile data including the location among the set of one or more locations from within the user profile data;
accessing a surface model associated with the location; and
causing display of a presentation of the media content at the client device based on the surface model.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user profile data includes a language preference, and wherein the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
configuring the media content based on the language preference.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:
determining a perspective of the client device relative to the location; and
causing display of the presentation of the media content based on the surface model and the perspective.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the surface model depicts a set of features associated with the location, and wherein the determining the perspective of the client device relative to the location is based on the set of features.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the media content comprises a text string, and the configuring the media content based on the user profile data further comprises:
generating the text string based on the user profile data.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the configuring the media content further comprises:
accessing the media content based on the location.
