Apple ID app Patent Application: More Information About Object Around You

The patent is called “Systems and methods for identifying objects and providing information related to identified objects,” or ID app for short. It revolves around a solution for somehow identifying (via RFID, GPS, photo, etc.) an object and then comparing it to a database of objects to provide further information on the object. There are already some apps out there that use photos of objects or photos of barcodes for just that purpose.
