1. A system comprising:
- a data source; and
an electronic device comprising;
an output component;
object detection technology operative to detect an object in an environment of the electronic device;
an identification module operative to communicate a search request to the data source for obtaining identification information from the data source about the detected object; and
a processor operative to;
select a mode of the electronic device; and
present at least a portion of the obtained identification information for the detected object to a user via the output component, wherein the selected mode specifies at least one parameter of the search request configured to be used for searching the data source for obtaining the identification information from the data source.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying an object and presenting additional information about the identified object are provided. The techniques of the present invention can allow the user to specify modes to help with identifying objects. Furthermore, the additional information can be provided with different levels of detail depending on user selection. Apparatus for presenting a user with a log of the identified objects is also provided. The user can customize the log by, for example, creating a multi-media album.
