Abstract:
A method and electronic mobile device display imaging satellite information on a screen of the mobile device. A viewing direction and angle of a camera of the mobile device, a location of the mobile device, and orbit information for satellites in a vicinity of the mobile device are all determined. Satellite tracks for each of the satellites determined to be in the vicinity of the mobile device are then computed based on the location of the mobile device, the viewing direction and angle of the camera of the mobile device, and the orbit information corresponding to each of the respective one or more satellites. A graphical representation of the computed satellite tracks may then be displayed on a display screen of the mobile device as an overlay over a real world image being captured in real time by the camera of the mobile device.
