Abstract
A method for generating optically machine readable code is provided. The method includes capturing an image with a user device, automatically generating, by the user device, an optically machine readable code comprising information about the image recorded during the capturing of the image, and associating the optically machine readable code and the image. A computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs and an apparatus are also provided.
Claims32
A method comprising:
- capturing an image with a user device;
- automatically generating, by the user device, an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier;
- and
- associating the optically machine readable code and the image;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content;
- and
- wherein the web based content comprises image sharing features and is generated based at least in part on information associated with the image that is captured with the user device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs that causes a processor based system to execute steps comprising:
- capturing an image with a user device;
- automatically generating, by the user device, an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier;
- and
- associating the optically machine readable code and the image;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content;
- and
- wherein the web based content comprises image sharing features and is generated based at least in part on information associated with the image that is captured with the user device.
An apparatus comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture an image;
- a processor configured to automatically generate an optically machine readable code comprising a unique identifier, and associate the optically machine readable code and the image;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store the image and the optically machine readable code;
- wherein the unique identifier comprises a pointer to web based content;
- and
- wherein the web based content comprises image sharing features and is generated based at least in part on information associated with the image that is captured with the image capture device.
