Abstract: In one aspect, a user captures an image of a physical object (e.g., of a grocery item, using a smartphone). The depicted object is identified, such as by extracting fingerprint or watermark data from the imagery. Other imagery depicting that object—or depicting related objects—is identified on the web, and is displayed to the user on the smartphone screen. The user may select one or more of these images and direct that they be posted to a social network account (e.g., Pinterest) associated with the user. In another aspect, the user's location is sensed (e.g., an aisle of a department store), and a collection of images depicting nearby products is presented to the user for selection and posting to a social networking service. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract translation: 在一个方面，用户捕获物理对象（例如，使用智能电话的杂货项目）的图像。 所描绘的对象被识别，例如通过从图像提取指纹或水印数据。 描绘该对象或描绘相关对象的其他图像在网络上被识别，并在智能手机屏幕上显示给用户。 用户可以选择这些图像中的一个或多个，并指示它们被发布到与用户相关联的社交网络帐户（例如，Pinterest）。 在另一方面，感测用户的位置（例如，百货公司的通道），并且向用户呈现描绘附近产品的图像的集合以供选择并发布到社交网络服务。 还详细介绍了各种各样的其他功能和安排。
