Abstract

In an approach for presenting information on an object to be observed, a processor obtains information from a sensor about an object. A processor predicts a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object. A processor determines whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period. A processor presents information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.

First claim

1 . A computer-implemented method for presenting information on an object to be observed, the computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, data from a sensor operably affixed to an object; predicting, by one or more processors, a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object; determining, by one or more processors, that a user is at a position to observe the location within the time period; determining, by one or more processors, whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period; and responsive to determining that the user is at the position to observe the location within the time period, presenting, by one or more processors, information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recording, by one or more processors, a video of the object at a previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state; and wherein responsive to determining that the object is not at the location and the object is not in the state, the information comprises the video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein responsive to determining that the object is at the location and the object is in the state, the information comprises text information describing the object.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a biological sensor and the object is living.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
recording, by one or more processors, a video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by one or more processors, an event based on the data from the sensor about the object, wherein the event adjusts a recommended route of the user.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the information is superimposed at the location on a real image displayed on a screen of a mobile device, the real image from a camera function of the mobile device, via augmented reality.

8 . A computer program product for presenting information on an object to be observed, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to obtain information from a sensor operably affixed to an object; program instructions to predict a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object; program instructions to determine that a user is at a position to observe the location within the time period; program instructions to determine whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period; and program instructions to, responsive to determining that the user is at the position to observe the location within the time period, present information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to record a video of the object at a previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state; and wherein responsive to determining that the object is not at the location and the object is not in the state, the information comprises the video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein responsive to determining that the object is at the predetermined location and the object is in the state, the information comprises text information describing the object.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the sensor is a biological sensor and the object is living.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to record a video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

13 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to generate an event based on the data from the sensor about the object, wherein the event adjusts a recommended route of the user.

14 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the information is superimposed at the location on a real image displayed on a screen of a mobile device, the real image from a camera function of the mobile device, via augmented reality.

15 . A computer system for presenting information on an object to be observed, the computer system comprising:
one or more computer processors, one or more readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to obtain information from a sensor operably affixed to an object; program instructions to predict a time period in which the object is expected to be at a location and in a state, based on historical data, obtained from the sensor, associated with the object; program instructions to determine that a user is at a position to observe the location within the time period; program instructions to determine whether the object is at the location and in the state within the time period; and program instructions to, responsive to determining that the user is at the position to observe the location within the time period, present information to a user, wherein the information is about the object.

16 . The computer system of claim 15 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to record a video of the object at a previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state; and wherein responsive to determining that the object is not at the location and the object is not in the state, the information comprises the video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

17 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein responsive to determining that the object is at the predetermined location and the object is in the state, the information comprises text information describing the object.

18 . The computer system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor is a biological sensor and the object is living.

19 . The computer system of claim 15 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, to record a video of the object at the previous time period in which the object was at the location and in the state.

20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , further comprising:
program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, to generate an event based on the data fro
