Application ID: 14991785

Base Claim:
1. A method comprising: orienting, by a headset including at least a digital compass, a mobile device pointing in a direction to intersect a particular one of an object, a geographic feature, and a location of interest to a user; providing, by a controller, geographic information according to local queries and distal queries, wherein the local queries relate to local characteristics of at least one of the object, the geographic feature, and the location, wherein the distal queries relate to distant characteristics that are not in purview of the local characteristics; and selecting and ordering, by the controller, in response to at least one query of the local and distal queries, query results based on two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) query windows and weighing the query results based on predetermined relationships to the 2D or 3D query windows, wherein the predetermined relationships include mathematical relevance of a particular one of the object, the geographic feature, and the location based on a type or a theme of the query.

Claim 4:
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: determining, via a pitch sensor, a first angle to compute the pointing direction, and a yaw sensor for determining a second angle usable by the controller to compute the pointing direction; retrieving a portion of the geographic information from the database based on a combination of the first location of the mobile device, the pointing direction of the mobile device, the one query including a thematic query, wherein the geographic information relates to the particular one of the object, the geographic feature, and the location; and triggering a thematic query protocol to gather data relating to the particular one of the object, the geographic feature, and the location based on relevance to a theme defined in the thematic query, wherein the data is weighted to be included in the query results as determined by the mathematical relevance.
