An electronic device comprising:
- circuitry configured to associate first information and at least a first portion of a first image;
- and
- circuitry configured to use a second image, that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image, to access the associated first information.
A method of storing information for future access by others comprising:
- associating first information and at least a first portion of a first image in a database controlled by a third party so that the first information can be accessed by others using a second image that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image.
A system for storing information comprising:
- a server having a database that has a plurality of entries each of which associates one of a plurality of image portions with respective information;
- a first client device comprising a camera for capturing, at a first time, a first image that includes a first portion and where the first client device is configured to associate, at the database, the first portion with first information;
- and
- a second client device comprising:
- a camera for capturing, at a second later time, a second image, which includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image;
- where the second client device is configured to use the second image to access, at the database, the associated first information;
