A server system for mobile device event control with digital images comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions;
- a memory containing instructions when executed on the processor, causes the processor to perform operations that:
- receiving a digital image from a mobile device;
- identifying a first element of the digital image and a second element of the digital image, wherein the first element of the digital image comprises a user-selected content, and wherein the second element comprises a depiction of a user action;
- determining an event trigger identified by the first element and the second element, wherein the event trigger comprises a mobile device operating system command, and wherein the mobile device operating system command comprises a command, to execute an image search with an online image search engine accessed by a web browser operating in the mobile device;
- generating a mobile device command according to the event trigger;
- communicating the mobile device command to a mobile operating system;
- decomposing the first element into a set of attributes with an object recognition functionality operating in at least one computer processor;
- matching an attribute of the set of attributes with a term;
- composing a search query of the image search with the term derived from the set of attribute of the first element;
- projecting the digital image with a projecting device onto a flat surface;
- displaying the digital image on a display of the mobile device,
- wherein a user interface on the display of the mobile device enables the user to manipulate the digital image according to the user action, wherein the user action comprises multi-touch user gestures,
- wherein the user interface on the display of the mobile device enables the user to assign a kinetic motion attribute to the digital image according to the multi-touch user gestures, and
- wherein the kinetic motion attribute comprises a spinning of the digital image around a user designated axis.
