Object Information Derived From Object Images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An information processing system comprising:
- a device connection configured to acquire a digital representation of a container from a device; and
a processing server coupled with the device connection and configured to;
receive the digital representation from the device over the device connection;
discriminate whether the digital representation of the container includes a representation of a recognizable identifying marking;
obtain container identifying information from the identifying markings, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object;
obtain target object information based on the specific target object and the container identifying information; and
cause a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the target object information.

Abstract
Search terms are derived automatically from images captured by a camera equipped cell phone, PDA, or other image capturing device, submitted to a search engine to obtain information of interest, and at least a portion of the resulting information is transmitted back locally to, or nearby, the device that captured the image.

15. A mobile device transaction system comprising:
-
a mobile device comprising an image sensor programmed to acquire a digital representation of a container; and an image processing platform within the mobile device and programmed to; receive the digital representation; discriminate whether the digital representation of the container includes a recognizable identifying marking; enable decoding of container identifying information from the identifying markings, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object; identify target object information based on the specific target object and the container identifying information; and cause the mobile device to initiate a transaction as a function of the target object information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processor to implement the steps of:
-
configuring a device to operating as an image processing platform; receiving, by the device, a digital representation of a container; discriminating, by the device, whether the digital representation of the container includes a recognizable identifying marking; obtaining container identifying information from the identifying markings, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object; obtaining target object information based on the specific target object and the container identifying information; and causing a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the target object information. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

42. A method comprising:
-
configuring a device to operating as an image processing platform; acquiring, by the device, a digital representation of a container receiving, by the device, the digital representation; discriminating, by the device, whether the digital representation of the container includes a recognizable identifying marking; obtaining container identifying information from the identifying markings, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object; obtaining target object information based on the specific target object and the container identifying information; and causing a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the target object information. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
