Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving from a user, with one or more processors, a captured image including a product; identifying, with the one or more processors, an indexed image that matches the product included in the captured image by identifying features of the product and metadata associated with the captured image, and matching the features of the product and the metadata associated with the captured image to features and metadata of the indexed image stored in a database; generating a hotspot for the product in the captured image that includes a selectable portion in the captured image, wherein the selectable portion is visually indicated by a bounded region including a textual description identifying the hotspot and is overlaid on the product in the captured image; displaying information related to the product on a user device for the user to perform a subsequent interaction in response to the user interacting with the hotspot; receiving user interaction data from a plurality of user devices, the user interaction data describing interactions that users have had with one or more channels over time through the plurality of user devices, the interactions including the user capturing the image, the user interacting with the hotspot, or the user performing the subsequent interaction; determining, with the one or more processors, popularity of the one or more channels based on the user interaction data including a number of the interactions that the users have had with the one or more channels over time; identifying, from the one or more channels, a channel and a time frame with which the users have had a maximum number of interactions over time; identifying, with the one or more processors, one or more advertisements associated with the product based on the indexed image and a location of the user, the location included in the metadata associated with the captured image; and providing, with the one or more processors, the one or more advertisements to the user on the channel at the time frame.
