## Abstract

In one embodiment, an indication of information desired by a user is received, and a list of candidates for the desired information is provided for presentation on a mobile device of the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving in real time at a mobile device an indication of information desired by a user once the mobile device is pointed to one or more objects in a real world by the user, wherein the indication of the desired information comprises live visual media content presenting the one or more objects therein, meta-information providing one or more properties of the media content, and one or more characteristics associated with at least one of the mobile device and the user;
causing, at least in part, providing candidates for the desired information for presentation on the mobile device based, at least in part, on at least one of the live visual media content and the meta-information;
determining a set of properties for the candidates; and
adjusting, based on the determined set of properties for the candidates, an access of the candidates for the information desired by the user,
wherein the candidates concurrently presented with the live visual media on one screen to the user for selection in real time without requiring the user to make any clicks from the time the user starts pointing the mobile device to the objects.
