36. An electronic user device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory including computer program code, wherein the memory, computer program code and processor are configured; to enable definition, by a user of the electronic user device, of user-defined information for access by multiple users via association at a server with at least a first portion of a first image, wherein the user-defined information augments first user-defined information already associated at the server with at least the first portion of a first image for access by multiple users; and to enable using a captured second image that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image to access, at the server via a network, the user-defined information previously defined by the user of the electronic user device and associated at the server with at least a first portion of a first image and the first user-defined information associated at the server with at least the first portion of the first image, and to receive in reply the accessed user-defined information previously defined by the user of the electronic device and the first user-defined information. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A method of storing user-defined information for future access by multiple parties comprising, at a server controlled by a third party:
-
receiving from a first originating party user-defined information that is defined by the first originating party and is for access by multiple parties; and associating the user-defined information received from the first originating party and at least a first portion of a first image in a database , wherein the user-defined information augments first user-defined information already associated at the server with at least the first portion of a first image in the database; and providing access by a second party to the user-defined information and the first user-defined information, when a second image, captured by the second party, includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 55)

51. A server for control by a third party comprising:
-
a processor; and wherein the memory, computer program code and processor are configured; to receive user-defined information from a first user different to the third party for access by multiple parties; and to associate the received user-defined information and at least a first portion of a first image in a database, wherein the user-defined information augments first user-defined information already associated at the server with at least the first portion of the first image in the database; and to provide access by a remote second user to the user-defined information and the first user-defined information when a second image, captured by the remote second user, includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54)

56. An electronic user device comprising:
-
means for definition, by a user of the electronic user device, of user-defined information for access by multiple users via association at a server with at least a first portion of a first image, wherein the user-defined information augments first user-defined information already associated at the server with at least the first portion of a first image for access by multiple users; and a camera for capturing a second image that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image; and means for using the captured second image to access, at the server via a network, the user-defined information previously defined by the user of the electronic user device and associated at the server with at least a first portion of a first image and the first user-defined information associated at the server with at least the first portion of the first image, and for receiving in reply the accessed user-defined information previously defined by the user of the electronic device and the first user-defined information. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58)
