Abstract

A location based image acquisition data processing method includes determining a geographic location of a mobile device and mapping the location to a proximate imaging system with at least one camera. The method also includes identifying a Web site for the proximate imaging system, and directing a Web browser executing in memory by a processor of the mobile device to navigate to the identified Web site. Optionally, the method additionally includes detecting a change in position of the mobile device to a new location, mapping the new location to a different imaging system, identifying a different Web site for the different imaging system, and directing the Web browser to navigate to the identified different Web site.

Claims

1. A location based image acquisition data processing method comprising:

determining a geographic location of a mobile device;

mapping the location to a proximate imaging system with at least one camera;

identifying a Web site for the proximate imaging system; and

,

directing a Web browser executing in memory by a processor of the mobile device to navigate to the identified Web site.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting a change in position of the mobile device to a new location;

mapping the new location to a different imaging system;

identifying a different Web site for the different imaging system; and

,

directing the Web browser to navigate to the identified different Web site.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an image of an end user associated with the mobile device from the proximate imaging system;

loading a pre-stored image identified by the end user through the mobile device;

combining the pre-stored image with the received image to form a composite image; and

,

storing the composite image for subsequent retrieval by the end user.
