Nokia plans to launch an advertising service – Point&Find service, next year that will use pattern-recognition technology to let people point camera phones at cars, movie posters, and other objects and click to get various information. A person might, for example, use the service to take a picture of a CD cover and then, once the image has been matched in a database, buy and download tracks via a site on the mobile Internet.
It is expected that initially Point&Find will work only with Nokia phones, but Nokia intends to make the service available for use on any phone using the Symbian operating system.
