1. A mobile device image search system, comprising an image processing platform coupled with a memory and programmed to:
- store, in a database, a plurality of reference image characteristics corresponding to a target object and associated with an information address linking to an item of content information;
store, in the database, a first ancillary information associated with at least one of (a) the plurality of reference image characteristics, (b) the target object and (c) the information address;
obtain, from a mobile device sensor of a mobile device, an image and an image ancillary information associated with the image;
determine a first plurality of image characteristics from the image;
recognize the image as associated with the target object based at least in part on a search of the database using the first plurality of image characteristics against the plurality of reference image characteristics and the image ancillary information against the first ancillary information;
obtain the information address associated with the target object; and
present the item of content information on a display of the mobile device based on the information address.

12. A method of providing digital content to a user, comprising:
-
storing, in a database, a plurality of reference image characteristics corresponding to a target object and associated with an information address linking to an item of content information; storing, in the database, a first ancillary information associated with at least one of (a) the plurality of reference image characteristics, (b) the target object and (c) the information address; obtaining, by an image processing platform and from a mobile device sensor of a mobile device, an image and an image ancillary information associated with the image; determining, by the image processing platform, a first plurality of image characteristics from the image; recognizing, by the image processing platform, the image as associated with the target object based at least in part on a search of the database using the first plurality of image characteristics against the plurality of reference image characteristics and the image ancillary information against the first ancillary information; obtaining, by the image processing platform, the information address associated with the target object; and causing a display of the mobile device to present the item of content information based on the information address. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
