1. A computer implemented method of identifying a document, the method comprising:
- determining a document context, wherein the document context includes supplemental information used to identify the document and includes temporal information for a first previously identified location in the document and a second previously identified location in the document;
obtaining a portion of the document captured from a handheld capture device;
identifying a digital document associated with the document using the document context and the captured portion;
identifying a location of the captured portion within the digital document, wherein a first elapsed time period from a time of identification of the first previously identified location to a current time being less than a second elapsed time period from a time of identification of the second previously identified location to the current time is an indication that the location of the captured portion is closer to the first previously identified location than the second previously identified location; and
processing the captured portion in relation to the digital document to identify a location-based action to be performed based on the identified location of the captured portion and information associated with the digital document, wherein the information associated with the digital document comprises one or more location-based actions associated with one or more locations within the digital document.

17. A computing system having a processor coupled to a memory containing computer executable instructions for performing functions of:
-
determining a document context, wherein the document context includes supplemental information used to identify the document and includes temporal information for a first previously identified location in the document and a second previously identified location in the document; obtaining a portion of a document captured from a handheld capture device; identifying a digital document associated with the document using the document context and the captured portion; identifying a location of the captured portion within the digital document, wherein a first elapsed time period from a time of identification of the first previously identified location to a current time being less than a second elapsed time period from a time of identification of the second previously identified location to the current time is an indication that the location of the captured portion is closer to the first previously identified location than the second previously identified location; and processing the captured portion in relation to the digital document to identify a location-based action to be performed based on the identified location of the captured portion and information associated with the digital document, wherein the information associated with the digital document comprises one or more location-based actions associated with one or more locations within the digital document. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having storied therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform functions of:
-
determining a document context, wherein the document context includes supplemental information used to identify the document and includes temporal information for a first previously identified location in the document and a second previously identified location in the document; obtaining a portion of a document captured from a handheld capture device; identifying a digital document associated with the document using the document context and the captured portion; identifying a location of the captured portion within the digital document, wherein a first elapsed time period from a time of identification of the first previously identified location to a current time being less than a second elapsed time period from a time of identification of the second previously identified location to the current time is an indication that the location of the captured portion is closer to the first previously identified location than the second previously identified location; and processing the captured portion in relation to the digital document to identify a location-based action to be performed based on the identified location of the captured portion and information associated with the digital document, wherein the information associated with the digital document comprises one or more location-based actions associated with one or more locations within the digital document.
