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 at least a portion of a physical environment that includes at least a first object; and
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 based at least in part on a visual appearance derived from the image data;
retrieve information related to the first target object via an information address;
determine at least one of a position and an orientation of the first object with respect to a second object in the physical environment based on the visual appearance; and
enable an interaction with a computer-system based software application via the information address as a function of the information, and as a function of at least one of the position and the orientation.

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.

29. A mobile device comprising:
-
a location tracking sensor configured to track a current location of the mobile device; an image sensor configured to capture image data of a physical environment that includes at least a first object; and 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 based at least in part on a visual appearance derived from the image data; retrieve information related to the first target object via an information address; determine at least one of a position and an orientation of the first object with respect to a second object in the physical environment based on the visual appearance; and enable an interaction with a computer-system based software application via the information address as a function of (i) the information, (ii) at least one of the position and the orientation, and (iii) the current location of the mobile device.
