Identifying visual media content captured by camera-enabled mobile device

At least one processor for identifying visual media content, comprising:

• a first module for receiving an image from a camera of a mobile device;
• a second module for recognizing a border of a rectangular display device within the image, wherein the border has a common border thickness;
• a third module for detecting a quadrilateral contained within the image based on recognizing the border;
• and
• a fourth module for capturing visual media content contained within the quadrilateral for identifying the visual media content.

A computer program product for identifying visual media content, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:
• a first set of codes for causing a computer to receive an image from a camera of a mobile device;
• a second set of codes for causing the computer to recognize a border of a rectangular display device within the image, wherein the border has a common border thickness;
• a third set of codes for causing the computer to detect a quadrilateral contained within the image based on recognizing the border;
• and
• a fourth set of codes for causing the computer to capture visual media content contained within the quadrilateral for identifying the visual media content.

An apparatus for identifying visual media content, comprising:

• means for receiving an image from a camera of a mobile device;
• means for recognizing a border of a rectangular display device within the image, wherein the border has a common border thickness;
• means for detecting a quadrilateral contained within the image based on recognizing the border;
• and
• means for capturing visual media content contained within the quadrilateral for identifying the visual media content.

A method for identifying visual media content, comprising:

• receiving an image from a camera of a mobile device;
• detecting a quadrilateral contained within the image;
• capturing visual media content contained within the quadrilateral for identifying the visual media content;
• and
• wherein the detecting of the quadrilateral further comprises detecting a candidate quadrilateral shape of a selected four clusters of corner points that satisfies a recognition criteria for identifying a perspective view of a rectangular display device, wherein identifying the perspective view of the rectangular display device further comprises recognizing a border of the rectangular display device, and wherein recognizing the border for the rectangular display device further comprises detecting a common border thickness for portions of the border on opposing sides.
