Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a method and device for obtaining a shared object associated with a real scene. A network device obtains an access respect sent by a user through user equipment based on the scene image corresponding to the real scene; performs match query in a shared object repository based on the scene image so as to obtain one or more shared objects corresponding to the access request; and provides said one or more shared objects to the user equipment. Compared with the prior art, through performing match query based on a scene image, the present invention provides a shared object associated with a real scene, which not only facilitates people to obtain information related to the scene, but also supports object sharing based on the same scene between different users, such that it is more convenient for people to obtain information and communicate with one another; besides, it also enhances use experience of users.
