Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for searching using at least one digital image over a communication network are disclosed. Embodiments include a remote computer server receiving a digital image from a digital capturing device and the remote computer server processing the digital image to provide digital image processing information. Further, the remote computer server determines a list of search results based on the digital image and the digital image processing information and transmits the list of search results to the digital capture device. The list of search results includes links to websites, one or more search result images, and image identification information. In addition, a search engine software application implemented by the remote computer server receives the digital image and determines the list of search results. An image processing device and/or computer program identifies one or more objects within the digital image that may is be used in a search.
