Methods for using extracted features to perform an action associated with selected identified image
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- (a) receiving, at a computer system including at least one computer, an electronic media work comprising an image file uploaded from a first electronic device;
(b) extracting, using the computer system, one or more features of at least a portion of the electronic media work;
(c) identifying, at the computer system, one or more reference works based on a comparison of the one or more reference works with the at least the portion of the electronic media work;
(d) identifying, at the computer system, one or more images related to the at least the portion of the electronic media work based at least in part on an approximate nearest neighbor search, which is a sub-linear search of an electronic database of reference features corresponding to the one or more reference works that identifies any match within a threshold of at least one of the reference features to the extracted one or more features but does not guarantee to identify the closest match to the extracted one or more features;
(e) providing, by the computer system to a second electronic device, the identified one or more images along with action information associated with the identified one or more images, wherein the action information is related to an action to be performed at the second electronic device;
(f) receiving, at the computer system from the second electronic device, a query relating to a selected one of the identified one or more images along with action information associated with the selected one of the identified one or more images;
(g) generating, by the computer system, machine-readable instructions based on the action information associated with the selected one of the identified one or more images; and
(h) providing, from the computer system to the second electronic device, the machine readable instructions for performance of the action associated with the selected one of the identified one or more images.

Abstract
Methods and systems to perform methods comprising receiving, at a computer system from a first electronic device a first electronic media work; extracting one or more features therefrom; determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to a first reference media work based on a matching of the extracted features against a database of reference features; receiving, from a second electronic device, a query related to the first electronic media work; linking the query to action information in an action database based upon determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to the first reference media work; generating machine-readable instructions associated with the action to be performed based at least in part on the linking of the query to the action information; transmitting, to the second electronic device, the machine-readable instructions; and logging an event associated with the machine-readable instructions.
