Claim One:
1. A method for providing relationship information in real-time, the method comprising: providing an augmented reality (AR) application to a user for installation on a mobile device of the user; establishing a communication link with the mobile device of the user, wherein establishing a communication link further comprises establishing a data channel with a storage medium associated with the mobile device; capturing, continuously, a real-time video stream of a surrounding environment using a video capture device associated with a mobile device of the user, wherein the real-time video stream comprises an image of one or more goods or service providers; receiving the image, wherein receiving further comprises receiving first information associated with the image, wherein the first information comprises an identifiable feature associated with one or more objects in the image and a location of the identifiable feature in the retrieved image, wherein the one or more objects comprises at least a product, a business, and a location, wherein the identifiable feature associated with the product comprises at least a size, a shape, a color of the product's packaging, a product logo, a bar code information, and a product name, wherein the identifiable feature associated with the business comprises a business logo, a decor of the business and one or more trademarks associated with the business, wherein the identifiable feature associated with the location comprises a street sign, an identifiable landmark, a street number and a signal associated with a geographic position device associated with the mobile device; receiving second information regarding one or more individuals, wherein receiving further comprises retrieving the second information from at least one or more social media accounts associated with the user, a contact list comprising contact information for the one or more individuals stored on the mobile device of the user, and a user input; determining, based at least partially on the first and second information, a plurality of relationships between the one or more individuals and the one or more objects in the image; initiating a presentation of a first user interface on the mobile device via the established data channel, wherein initiating activates the AR application to cause the mobile device to display a list of the plurality of relationships between the one or more individuals and the image on the first user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a list of the plurality of relationships between the one or more individuals and the image, wherein the list is prioritized based on a predetermined strength associated with each of the plurality of relationships whereby a relationship with a high strength is ranked higher in the list of the plurality of relationships than a relationship with a low strength; receiving, via the first user interface on the mobile device and the established data channel associated with the mobile device, a user selection of at least one of the plurality of relationships between the one or more individuals and the image; initiating, via the established data channel, a presentation of a second user interface for display on the mobile device, wherein the second user interface comprises a relationship information associated with the user selected relationship from the plurality of relationships, wherein presenting the relationship information comprises superimposing the relationship information over a real-time video stream of the one or more individuals that is captured by the mobile device, wherein the real-time video stream comprises at least one of the one or more objects; determining that the mobile device is associated with at least one trigger event, wherein the trigger event comprises: (i) the mobile device being exposed to predetermined low levels of illumination for a first predetermined extended period of time, (ii) the mobile device being stationary for a second predetermined extended period of time or (iii) a power source of the mobile device being associated with predetermined low power levels; disengaging the continuous capture of the real-time video stream of the surrounding environment, based on the at least one trigger event; and re-engaging, automatically, the continuous capture of the real-time video stream of the surrounding environment, based on determining that the mobile device is not associated with the at least one trigger event.
