Patent Images
1. A method for use in a computer device, the method comprising:
- in a user wireless communication device comprising a camera module;
capturing a visual image;
analyzing image data of the visual image to identify whether the visual image includes a first and a second visual features; and
producing a message which includes two visual feature indications and a location indication, a first visual feature indication indicating whether the visual image includes the first visual feature, the first visual feature indication comprising a first count of a number of times the visual image includes the first visual feature, a second visual feature indication indicating whether the visual image includes the second visual feature, the second visual feature indication comprising a second count of a number of times the visual image includes the second visual feature, the second visual feature indication indicating a relationship between the first count and the second count, the location indication indicating a location at which the visual image was captured.

Abstract
In one example, a computer device includes one or more processors and a camera module coupled to the one or more processors. The camera module is configured to capture visual images. The one or more processors are configured to analyze image data of a visual image for identifying whether the visual image includes a visual feature, and produce a message which includes a visual feature indication and a location indication. The visual feature indication indicates whether the visual image includes the visual feature, and the location indication indicates a location at which the visual image was captured.
