Patent ID: 8442502

Claim:
A method for using a mobile phone to track a location of a real object in a scene of interest for use in an augmented reality system, the method comprising: receiving, through an antenna in the mobile phone, a transmitted wave; receiving, through the antenna, a reflected wave, wherein the reflected wave is associated with energy reflected from the real object when the real object is illuminated with the transmitted wave; determining a difference between the transmitted wave and the reflected wave by a processor in communication with the antenna, wherein the difference relates to a variation in a Doppler spectrum caused by movement of the real object with respect to the mobile phone; generating tracking data by the processor based on the difference, the tracking data being associated with the location of the real object in the scene of interest with respect to the mobile phone; and combining the tracking data with additional data regarding the real object to generate combined data, wherein the combined data represents movement of the real object and represents the additional data within the augmented reality system.
