Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing a user input. A user input selecting an image on a page is detected. The image selected by the user input is sent to a server to perform a search in response to detecting the user input. The server performs object recognition analysis on the image to generate a text description of the image. Alternatively, the server may perform an image search for resources with similar images or properties. This text description, which may include one or more words, is used as the basis of the search. A result of the search is received in response to sending the image to the server to form a received result. The received result is displayed. Further, other contextual information associated with the image may be used in addition to or in place of the image in generating the search.
