Sony Ericsson have filed a new patent, named as “CAMERA DICTIONARY BASED ON OBJECT RECOGNITION.” Essentially, what would happen is that you would point your image dictionary-equipped cameraphone, at an object, known as a “target object”.

Then, the camera’s software would identify various things about the object - such as its name, and where it came from, which would then be displayed on the phone’s display. This feature would be available in various languages, other than English. There’s no telling when, or if this patent will be implemented into cameraphones, but, Sony Ericsson will be on hand to announce it.
