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 first target object information based on the container identifying information; and
cause a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the first 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 recognizable identifying markings, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object; identify first target object information based on the container identifying information; and cause the mobile device to initiate a transaction as a function of the first 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 recognizable identifying marking, the container identifying information identifying the container as a specific target object; obtaining first target object information based on the container identifying information; and causing a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the first 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 mobile device to operate as an image processing recognition platform; acquiring, by the mobile device, a digital representation of a container; recognizing, by the mobile device, the container as a target object based on the digital representation; obtaining first target object information via an information address associated with the target object; discriminating, by mobile the device, whether the digital representation of the container includes a recognizable identifying marking; obtaining container identifying information based on the recognizable identifying markings and based on the first target object information, wherein the container identifying information identifies the container as discriminated from other similar target objects; and causing a second device to initiate a transaction as a function of the obtained container identifying information. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)
