Zusammenfassung:A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images (911, 921, 931) and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image (913-16) with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images (923-26). The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.
