Abstract: A system and method are provided for automating procedures, such as navigation, using a portable device with a camera and adapted for receiving input. As configured, the automated procedures are associated with various input signals, such as locations, orientations and destinations in connection with navigational procedures. The output can include directions and menu choices for various destinations. Upon receipt of an input signal, the portable device processes the input and initiates the automated procedure associated with the input signal. The portable device can also communicate with a communications provider or a service provider for transmitting information related to the automated procedure to be preformed.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for automating procedures using a portable device with a camera and adapted for receiving input. As configured, the automated procedures are associated with various input signals. Upon receipt by the portable device of the input signal the portable device processes the input and initiates the automated procedure associated with the input signal. Receipt of additional input signals, if any, is processed by the portable device, which continues to process and initiate the associated automated procedure until no more signals are present. The portable device may also communicate with a communications provider or a service provider for transmitting information related to the automated procedure to be preformed.
