METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PERFORMING AN IMAGE PROCESSING FUNCTION ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for automatically performing an image processing function on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- providing on the electronic device a plurality of image processing option keys; and
automatically performing an image processing function on an image that was captured using a camera of the electronic device, in response to a user activation of one key in the plurality of image processing option keys;
wherein each key in the plurality of image processing option keys is associated with only one function selected from the following functions, and no two of the keys are associated with a same function selected from the following functions;
dialing a phone number associated with a captured image;
displaying a map of an area identified by an address captured in an image;
displaying a route plan to an address captured in an image;
storing an image and then subsequently providing a reminder to review the image;
playing a multimedia file associated with a feature in a captured image;
displaying search results based on a search of data captured in an image;
storing in an electronic contacts database data captured in an image;
transmitting a captured image; and
a user defined image processing function.

Abstract
A method (400) for automatically performing a plurality of image processing functions on an electronic device (100) by providing a plurality of image processing option keys (405) including a first image processing option key and a second image processing option key. The first image processing option key is associated with a first image processing function and the second image processing option key is associated with a second image processing function that is different from the first image processing function. The method (400) performs capturing (410) a first image using a camera (119) in response to a user activation of the first image processing option key and then automatically performing (415) the first image processing function in response to capturing the first image. Next, there is performed a capturing (420) a second image using the camera (119) in response to a user activation of the second image processing option key and automatically performing (425) the second image processing function in response to capturing the second image. Both the first image processing function and the second image processing function are selected from a group of functions.
