Abstract
A portable information system is comprised of an input device for capturing an image having a user-selected object or text, and a background. A hand-held computer is responsive to the input device and is programmed to: distinguish the user-selected object/text from the background; compare the user-selected object to a database of objects/characters; and output a translation of, information about, or interpretation of, the user-selected object or text in response to the step of comparing. The invention is particularly useful as a portable aid for translating or remembering text messages foreign to the user that are found in visual scenes. A second important use is to provide mobile information and guidance to the mobile user in connection with surrounding objects (such as, identifying landmarks, people, and/or acting as a navigational aid). Methods of operating the present invention are also disclosed.
