Abstract: A user can capture image information about an object in order to identify the object. In addition to obtaining information about the object, the user can obtain additional views of the object. For example, if the user captures an image of packaging containing the object, the user can receive views of the object when out of the packaging, as well as a view showing the relative size of the object within the packaging. If the object requires assembly, the views can include views of the object at the component, part, or ingredient level, as well as views during assembly and one or more views of the finished product. A user also can obtain a virtual x-ray view that enables the user to move the client device with respect to the object in order to obtain different views of what is contained within the packaging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, system, and a computer program product for delivering content to a communication device, in response to an image sent by the communication device. The received image is matched with a plurality of images, and, when a match is found for the received image, content corresponding to the image is delivered to the communication device. The plurality of images is stored in an image database, and the corresponding content is stored in a content repository. The present invention enables a content provider to automatically update the image database and the content repository without any human intervention.

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a system includes a social media tag-cloud generator. The social media tag-cloud generator obtains a user's social media feed and generates a topic tag cloud. The topic tag cloud includes a weighted key term representing a topic that occurs in the user's social media feed. A media-content source module obtains a first metadata about a first media-content episode. The media-content source module obtains a second metadata about a second media-content episode. The first metadata includes information to identify the first media content episode and to locate the first media content episode in a computer network. The second metadata includes information to identify the second media content episode and to locate the second media content episode in the computer network. A media-content scoring module determines a first score for the first media-content episode. The first score includes a first value judgment based on the weighted key term.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for image matching. The method includes receiving a query image at a query-server. Further, the method includes, sending a request to one or more image-matching servers of a set of distributed image-matching servers to conduct an image-search corresponding to the query image. Furthermore, the method includes receiving at the query-server, a list of identified matches from the image-matching servers corresponding to the query image, wherein the list of matches is identified based on the image-search at the image-matching servers. Moreover, the method includes selecting one or more matches from the list of identified matches based on a score corresponding to the identified matches.
