  • Patent number: 11967299
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of receiving image data of an image capturing a scene, receiving data describing one or more entities determined from the scene, the one or more entities being determined from the scene, determining one or more actions based on the one or more entities, each action being provided at least partly based on search results from searching the one or more entities, and providing instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, each action element being to induce execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder.

  • Publication number: 20230316793
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for efficient image analysis. In some aspects, a system includes a camera configured to capture images, one or more environment sensors configured to detect movement of the camera, a data processing apparatus, and a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can access, for each of a multitude of images captured by a mobile device camera, data indicative of movement of the camera at a time at which the camera captured the image. The data processing apparatus can also select, from the images, a particular image for analysis based on the data indicative of the movement of the camera for each image, analyze the particular image to recognize one or more objects depicted in the particular image, and present content related to the one or more recognized objects.

  • Patent number: 11615136
    Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.
