Abstract
Various systems, methods, and computer programs embodied in a computer readable medium for linking images are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises the steps of identifying a number of components in a primary image in a computer system, and automatically matching each of the components with one of a number of component images in the computer system. Also, a navigation output such as a link is generated that links each of the components in the primary image with a respective one of the component images.
Claims21
A method for linking images, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a number of components in a primary image in a computer system;
- automatically matching each of the components with one of a number of component images in the computer system;
- and
- generating a navigation output that links each of the components in the primary image with a respective one of the component images.
A computer program embodied in a computer readable medium for linking images, comprising:
- code that provides for an identification of a number of components in a primary image;
- code that provides for an automated matching of each of the components with one of a number of component images;
- and
- code that generates a navigation output that links each of the components in the primary image with a respective one of the component images.
A system for linking images, comprising:
- a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;
- an image linking system stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the image linking system comprising:
- logic that provides for an identification of a number of components in a primary image;
- logic that provides for an automated matching of each of the components with one of a number of component images;
- and
- logic that generates a navigation output that links each of the components in the primary image with a respective one of the component images.
A system for linking images, comprising:
- means for identifying a number of components in a primary image;
- means for automatically matching each of the components with one of a number of component images;
- and
- means for generating a navigation output that links each of the components in the primary image with a respective one of the component images.
