1. A method for retrieving and displaying a photorealistic image of a device that is connected to a computing device or available for connection, comprising the steps of:
- using the computing device to receive data from the device;
using the computing device to retrieve identifying information from the device;
using the computing device to retrieve a photorealistic image from a database based on the identifying information; and
displaying the retrieved photorealistic image on the computing device.

6. A method for retrieving and displaying a photorealistic image of a device that is connected to a computing device or available for connection, comprising the steps of:
-
using the computing device to receive data from the device; using the computing device to retrieve identifying information from the device; using the computing device to query a local database to determine if there is a photorealistic image stored in the local database that is associated with the identifying information; if so, using the computing device to retrieve the photorealistic image from the local database; if there is no photorealistic image stored in the local database that is associated with the identifying information, using the computing device to query a remote database to retrieve a photorealistic image of the device based on the identifying information; and displaying the retrieved photorealistic image on the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for retrieving and displaying a photorealistic image of a device that is connected to a computing device or available for connection, comprising the steps of:
-
using the computing device to receive data from the device; using the computing device to retrieve identifying information from the device; using the computing device to query a local database to determine if there is a photorealistic image stored in the local database that is associated with the identifying information; if so, using the computing device to retrieve the photorealistic image from the local database; if there is no photorealistic image stored in the local database that is associated with the identifying information, using the computing device to query a remote database to determine if there is a photorealistic image stored in the remote database that is associated with the identifying information; if so, using the computing device to retrieve the photorealistic image from the local database; if there is no photorealistic image stored in the remote database that is associated with the identifying information, using the computing device to retrieve a photorealistic image that is representative of the device from either the local database or the remote database; and displaying the retrieved photorealistic image on the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
