Image Capture and Identification System and Process
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to capture image data of a physical environment comprises at least a first object and a second object;
an image processing platform coupled with the image sensor and configured to;
obtain the image data from the image sensor;
recognize a first target object and a second target object based at least in part on a visual appearance derived from the image data;
retrieve information, including an information address, based on the recognized target objects;
determine a position of the first target object and a position of the second target object with respect to the physical environment based on the visual appearance;
enable an interaction with a computer-system based software application via the information address as a function of the positions of the first and second objects.

Abstract
A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object.
