Abstract
Systems and methods for establishing a data connection, including a first device having a display screen to display a first image and a portable electronic device including a camera and circuitry to obtain a first characteristic of the first device or the first image via a communication; capture a captured image of the display screen of the first device; analyze the captured image to obtain a captured image characteristic; compare the captured image characteristic with the first characteristic; and, establish a connection between the first device and the portable electronic device if the captured image characteristic and the first characteristic are within a predetermined threshold. Once a connection is established, the portable electronic device is configured to continuously obtain the location, position, orientation, and/or movement of the first device and utilize this information in various applications used by the first device and/or portable electronic device.
