Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, at a digital camera of a first information handling system, a digital image of a display of a second information handling system;
analyzing the captured digital image, the analysis resulting in an identification of a network location corresponding to the captured digital image, wherein the analyzing further comprises;
identifying one or more portions of the digital image;
comparing the identified portions of the digital image with a plurality of stored network location contextual image data; and
identifying one or more possible network locations based on the comparison;
retrieving, at the first information handling system, data from the identified network location via a network connection; and
displaying the data from the identified network location at a first display accessible by the first information handling system.

Abstract
An approach is disclosed that captures, at a digital camera of a first information handling system, a digital image of a display of a second information handling system. The approach analyzes the captured digital image with the analysis resulting in an identification of a network location that corresponds to the captured digital image. Data from the identified network location is retrieved via a network connection from the first information handling system and this data is displayed on a display that is accessible by the first information handling system.
