Image tagging for capturing information in a transaction

1. A computing system comprising:

a processor; and

memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

receive, from a client device that is remote from the computing system:

an image associated with an application on the client device; and

an application context indicator indicative of a context of the application;

based on the application context indicator, determine an application task of the application, wherein the application task is associated with the received image;

generate a query for a matching image, the query including an indication of the received image;

obtain, from an image source, the matching image that matches the received image and a set of information associated with the matching image;

based on the application context, select a subset of information, from the identified set of information associated with the matching image; and

send the matching image and the subset of information to the client device.

2. The computing system of claim 1 wherein the application ask comprises a transaction, and wherein the subset of information comprises transactional information associated with performance of the transaction.

3. The computing system of claim 1 wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

receive a plurality of images;

associate each of the plurality of images with corresponding information; and

store the plurality of images along with the associated information in the identified image source.

4. The computing system of claim 1 wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

receive, from the client device, geographical location information corresponding to the received image; and

obtain, from the image source, a set of information associated with the geographical location information.

5. A computing system comprising:

a processor; and

memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the computing system to:

receive an image;

receive an application context indicator indicative of an application context of an application remotely executed from the computing system;

based on the application context indicator, determine a task that is associated with the received image and corresponds to the application context of the application;

based on the task, select an image source from a plurality of image sources;

identify a matching image that is stored in association with the selected image source and matches the received image;

based on the application context, obtain corresponding information that is pre-associated with the matching image and corresponds to the task; and

send the corresponding information to the application.

6. The computing system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

compare the received image to stored images by searching the selected image source to identify the matching image; and

send the matching image to the application.

7. The computing system of claim 5 wherein the selected image source comprises a first data store selected from a set of data stores, and wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

prior to receiving the image,

receive a plurality of images;

associate each of the plurality of images with corresponding information; and

store the plurality of images along with the associated information in the first data store.

8. The computing system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:

generate a query that includes an indication of the received image;

obtain the matching image by searching the first data store based on the query; and

identify the corresponding information that is associated with the matching image, the corresponding information being based on the application context indicator.

9. The computing system of claim 5 , wherein the corresponding information is associated with the matching image before the image is received.

10. The computing system of claim 9 , wherein corresponding information comprises information about an object depicted in the received image.

11. The computing system of claim 10 , wherein the corresponding information identifies the object.

12. The computing system of claim 5 , wherein the task comprises a transaction, and wherein the corresponding information comprises transactional information associated with performance of the transaction.

13. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a computing system that is remote from a client device:

an image associated with an application on the client device; and

an application context indicator indicative of a context of the application;

based on the application context indicator, determining an application task of the application, the application task being associated with the received image;

generating a query for a matching image, the query including an indication of the received image;

obtaining, from an image source, the matching image that matches the received image and a set of information associated with the matching image;

based on the application context, selecting a subset of information, from the identified set of information associated with the matching image; and

sending the matching image and the subset of information to the client device.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

based on the application task, selecting the image source from a plurality of image sources.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the selected image source comprises a data store, and the method further comprises:

prior to receiving the image,

receiving a plurality of images;

associating each of the plurality of images with corresponding information; and

storing the plurality of images along with the associated information in the data store.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the set of information was associated with the matching image prior to receiving the image from the client device.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the set of information comprises information about an object depicted in the received image.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the identified-set of information identifies the object.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the object represents at least one of a person or a transaction item.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the task comprises a transaction, and wherein the subset of information comprises transactional information associated with performance of the transaction.
