INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR FINDING A LOCATION BASED ON AN IMAGE AT ANOTHER LOCATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying an image of a first geographic location by a computer system;
receiving, by the computer system, a user selection of a portion of the image of the first geographic location;
processing the user-selected image portion by the computer system to identify a meaning for the user-selected image portion;
the computer system computing a logical connection between the computer system identified meaning and a second geographic location; and
the computer system providing directions to the second geographic location.

Abstract
A computer system displays an image of a first geographic location by a computer system, receives a user selection of a portion of the image of the first geographic location, processes the user-selected image portion to identify a meaning for the user-selected image portion, computes a logical connection between the computer system identified meaning and a second geographic location, and directs the user to the second geographic location. Computing the logical connection may include finding a match between a significance of the second geographic location and the meaning identified for the user-selected image portion. Receiving a user selection of an image portion may include receiving a user selection identifying an ad within the image and wherein the processing to identify a meaning for the user-selected image portion includes identifying a meaning for the ad.
