Method and apparatus for displaying augmented reality object

This invention describes an electronic device, like a smartphone, that runs an augmented reality (AR) application. It uses its camera and sensors to understand its position and what it's looking at, then creates a virtual object and overlays it onto the real-world view on the screen. The device specifically displays this virtual object when it detects a significant change in its own movement, such as a rotation or translation, and when the current camera view has little overlap with the previous view.

Why it matters: Filed before the latest generation of mobile processors and advanced AR frameworks became widely available. The specific movement-based trigger for displaying AR objects, as described in the claims, is now more robustly implementable due to significant improvements in mobile device SLAM capabilities and sensor fusion.
