Abstract

A method, system and computer program product that provides virtual assistance in facilitating visual comparison is disclosed. A method in accordance with example embodiments includes determining (by comparison of first metadata of an at least one user-provided image to second metadata of an at least one reference image) difference information as between an unknown object and a known object shown in the at least one user-provided image to the at least one reference image respectively.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a non-stationary camera configured to:
capture at least one first image that depicts an unknown object;
and
output the at least one first image for generating first metadata elsewhere within the system;
storage configured to store second metadata generated from at least one second image of a known object;
and
at least one processor in communication with the storage and the non-stationary camera, the at least one processor configured to:
compare the first metadata to the second metadata to determine difference information as between the unknown and known objects, the difference information including at least:
a first information component;
a second information component;
or a third information component, wherein the first information component relates to appearance, the second information component relates to size, and the third information component is different from the first and second information components;
and
a mobile communications device that includes a speaker, the mobile communications device in communication with the at least one processor and configured to cause the speaker to emit, when the difference information indicates that the unknown object is different than the known object, a first audio message that includes at least some of the difference information.
