Abstract
A method for identifying relevant information of an object using a mobile terminal that has a built-in camera, a processor, and memory for storing programs to be executed by the processor is provided. The method includes automatically generating a plurality of image frames while the built-in camera pointing at the object; automatically transmitting one or more of the plurality of image frames to a remote server, wherein different transmitted image frames satisfy distinct predefined conditions; receiving information from the server when at least one of the transmitted image frames matches an image stored at the server, wherein the image corresponds to the object and is associated with information relevant to the object; and displaying the information relevant to the object at the mobile terminal.
