First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for presenting information to a user via a mobile device, the system comprising:
- a text detection component, wherein the text detection component is programmed to detect that text is within view of a camera associated with the mobile device;
a device operation component, wherein the device operation component is programmed to modify operation of the mobile device in response to receiving a signal from the text detection component that indicates text is within view of the camera associated with the mobile device;
a capture component, wherein the capture component is programmed to capture an image of the text in response to receiving a signal from the device operation component that indicates modified operation of the mobile device;
an identification component, wherein the identification component is programmed to identify the text or an object that contains the text within the captured image; and
an action component, wherein the action component is programmed to perform an action associated with the identified text or the object that contains the text.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically changing the operation of a mobile device in response to a presence of information is described. In some examples, the system determines an information capture device is proximate to text, automatically changes operation of the capture device to a certain mode, captures the text, and performs an action associated with the captured text.

16. A computer-readable medium whose contents, when executed by a mobile device, cause the mobile device to perform a method for performing an action associated with a rendered document, the method comprising:
-
measuring a relative orientation between a rendered document and the mobile device; comparing the measured relative orientation to a threshold relative orientation associated with a document capture mode of the mobile device; and automatically transitioning the mobile device to the document capture mode when the measured relative orientation is within the threshold relative orientation associated with the document capture mode. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 20)
