Text recognition driven functionality

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
• identifying image information associated with text in an image;
• determining an identified text type, of a plurality of text types, from the image information;
• receiving, using a position system, location data of a computing device;
• determining a first priority function based at least on the identified text type, and the location data;
• determining a second priority function based at least on the identified text type;
• storing activity data representing user selections over time and in relation to the first priority function, the second priority function and the identified text type;
• determining, based at least in part on the activity data, an indicator of user action associated with the first priority function, the second priority function and the identified text type;
• determining a user choice of the second priority function, based at least in part on the indicator of user action;
• and
• enabling the computing device to perform the second priority function.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
• recognizing a string of characters from a digital image captured by a camera of a portable computing device;
• identifying a character pattern, of a plurality of character patterns, from the string of characters;
• identifying a particular text type, of a plurality of text types, associated with the character pattern;
• receiving, using a position system, location data of the portable computing device;
• determining a first priority application, based at least in part on the particular text type, and the location data;
• determining a second priority application based at least on the particular text type;
• storing activity data representing user selections over time and in relation to the first priority application, the second priority application and the particular text type;
• determining, based at least in part on the activity data, an indicator of user action associated with the first priority application, the second priority application and the particular text type;
• determining a user choice of the second priority application, based at least in part on the indicator of user action;
• and
• providing the character pattern to the second priority application.

A portable computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify text in an image;
• identify a text pattern, of a plurality of text patterns, from the text;
• identify a particular text type, of a plurality of text types, associated with the text pattern;
• receive, using a position system, location data of the portable computing device;
• determine a first priority function, based at least in part on the particular text type, and the location data;
• determine a second priority function based at least on the particular text type;
• store activity data representing user selections over time and in relation to the first priority function, the second priority function and the particular text type;
• determine, based at least in part on the activity data, an indicator of user action associated with the first priority function, the second priority function and the particular text type;
• determine a user choice of the second priority function, based at least in part on the indicator of user action;
• and
• perform the second priority function.
