Methods for using extracted features to perform an action associated with identified action information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computer system from a user electronic device, a query related to an electronic media work comprising an image displayed at the user electronic device;
extracting, using the computer system, one or more features of the electronic media work, wherein the extracted features are a compact representation of the electronic media work;
identifying, at the computer system, action information associated with the query based at least in part on an approximate nearest neighbor search, which is a sub-linear search of an electronic database of reference features corresponding to one or more reference works that identifies any match within a threshold of at least one of the reference features to the extracted one or more features but does not guarantee to identify the closest match to the extracted one or more features; and
providing, by the computer system to the user electronic device, machine readable instructions to perform an action associated with the identified action information, which action includes displaying additional information associated with the query.

Abstract
Methods and systems to perform methods comprising receiving, at a computer system from a first electronic device a first electronic media work; extracting one or more features therefrom; determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to a first reference media work based on a matching of the extracted features against a database of reference features; receiving, from a second electronic device, a query related to the first electronic media work; linking the query to action information in an action database based upon determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to the first reference media work; generating machine-readable instructions associated with the action to be performed based at least in part on the linking of the query to the action information; transmitting, to the second electronic device, the machine-readable instructions; and logging an event associated with the machine-readable instructions.
