1. A system comprising a server, the server programmed to:
- obtain, from a mobile device, a first image segment, wherein the first image segment includes a digital representation of at least a portion of a human body part;
calculate a first match score based on the first image segment and at least one reference image segment stored in a reference database;
determine whether the first match score exceeds a threshold score;
in response to determining that the first match score does not meet the threshold score;
obtain a second image segment including a second digital representation of the human body part; and
in response to determining that the first match score meets the threshold score;
store the first image segment;
recognize the human body part as a target object based on the first image segment;
identify content information associated with the target object; and
enable at least one of the server and the mobile device to access the content information via an information address associated with the target object.

Abstract
A digital image segment of a human body part is captured and matched against a reference image segment. If the match score meets a threshold, the digital image segment is stored and the human body part is recognized as a target object. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object. If the match score does not meet a threshold, a second image containing a representation of the human body part is obtained.

10. A method for enabling content access, comprising:
-
iteratively obtaining, by a server and from an image capture device of a mobile device, a plurality of image segments, wherein the each image segment from the plurality of image segments includes a digital representation of at least a portion of a human body part; iteratively calculating, by the server, a match score for each of the plurality of image segments based on the image segment and at least one reference image segment stored in a reference database; iteratively determining, by the server, that the calculated match score for a first image segment from the plurality of image segments exceeds a threshold score; storing the first image segment; recognizing, by the server, the human body part as a target object based on the first image segment; identifying, by the server, content information associated with the target object; and enabling, by the server, the mobile device to access the content information via an information address associated with the target object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
