A communication device includes a communication circuit, an imager, and one or more processors. One or more memory devices store one or more reference images. The one or more processors can receive an image being previewed by the imager and determine whether the image being previewed by the imager corresponds to a stored image of the one or more reference images. Where the image being previewed by the imager corresponds to the stored image, the one or more processors can determine a communication identifier associated with the stored image and initiate communication with a remote device using the communication identifier. Where the object is a plurality of objects, the one or more processors can initiate a group communication with remote devices corresponding to all or a subset of the plurality of objects.
