Abstract:
1. A method for interacting with an object, the method comprising: using a camera of a handheld computing device, capturing a picture of an object, the object being free of overt digital encoding—such as a barcode; providing at least some image data corresponding to the captured picture to a processor; receiving back from the processor processed information corresponding to the object and based on the provided image data; by reference to the processed information, automatically identifying a particular one of plural different software application programs or routines, the identified software application program or routine being particularly relevant to the object, rather than being generally relevant to all objects; using the identified software application program or routine, producing output information; and presenting the output information using an output component of the handheld computing device.
