Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for displaying an augmented reality virtual object on a multimedia device. One method comprises detecting, in an augmented reality environment displayed using a first device, a virtual object; detecting, within the augmented reality environment, a second device, the second device comprising a physical multimedia device; and generating, at the second device, a display comprising a representation of the virtual object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
detecting a virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed via a first device;
detecting a second device;
prompting a first display of the virtual object at the second device; and
prompting a second display of the virtual object at the second device, based on a user input to the first device comprising an interaction with the virtual object.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the second device comprises detecting the second device based on the second device being within the augmented reality environment displayed via the first device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a network to which the first device and the second device are connected; and
prompting a connection between the first device and the second device via the network.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prompting a display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment at the second device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the at least the portion of the augmented reality environment comprises a prompt for a payment or an authentication.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second display includes a zoomed in, a zoomed out, a color variation, or a geometrically modified view of the virtual object.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a smartphone and wherein the second device is a television.

8. A device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
detecting a virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed via a first device;
detecting a second device;
prompting a first display of the virtual object at the second device; and
prompting a second display of the virtual object at the second device, based on a user input to the first device comprising an interaction with the virtual object.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the detecting the second device comprises detecting the second device based on the second device being within the augmented reality environment displayed via the first device.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
detecting a network to which the first device and the second device are connected; and
prompting a connection between the first device and the second device via the network.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
prompting a display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment at the second device.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the at least the portion of the augmented reality environment comprises a prompt for a payment or an authentication.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the second display includes a zoomed in, a zoomed out, a color variation, or a geometrically modified view of the virtual object.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first device is a smartphone and wherein the second device is a television.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
detecting a virtual object in an augmented reality environment displayed via a first device;
detecting a second device;
prompting a first display of the virtual object at the second device; and
prompting a second display of the virtual object at the second device, based on a user input to the first device comprising an interaction with the virtual object.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the detecting the second device comprises detecting the second device based on the second device being within the augmented reality environment displayed via the first device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
detecting a network to which the first device and the second device are connected; and
prompting a connection between the first device and the second device via the network.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
prompting a display of at least a portion of the augmented reality environment at the second device.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the at least the portion of the augmented reality environment comprises a prompt for a payment or an authentication.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second display includes a zoomed in, a zoomed out, a color variation, or a geometrically modified view of the virtual object.
