Abstract

An intelligent networked system including a plurality of smart nodes, each configured to pair directly with other remote smart nodes over the internet. The system can use a computer process subsystem on a server and connected over the internet to smart node clients located at each of the smart nodes to arrange for automatic sequential pairing amongst different sets of remote smart nodes. Each smart node may include a video display array configured to display a live video communication feed from a paired smart node at approximately full-human body dimensional scale. Each video display may be arranged interlocked with a set of video captured devices that are configured to transmit a live video communication feed to a remote paired video display array at approximately full-human body dimensional scale.

Claims23

Dependent claims

An intelligent networked system comprising:

a plurality of smart nodes, each configured to pair directly with other remote smart nodes over the internet;
a computer process subsystem on a server and connected over the internet to smart node clients located at each of said plurality of smart nodes, wherein the computer process subsystem is configured to enable temporary pairing of a first node of said plurality of smart nodes to a second node of said plurality of smart nodes which is remote from said first node and, after a time set forth in a schedule, to automatically enable temporary pairing of said first node with a third node of said plurality of smart nodes which is remote from said first and second nodes;
video display arrays, located at each of said first node, second node and third node, configured to display live video communication feeds at approximately full-human body dimensional scale;
at least one set of video-capture devices, located at the second node and embedded within the video display array located at the second node, configured to capture a live video communication feed that is transmitted to the first node when the second node is temporarily paired to the first node such that the live video communication feed captured by the at least one set of video-capture devices at the second node is displayed on the video display array of the first node at approximately full-human body dimensional scale;
and
at least one set of video-capture devices, located at the third node and embedded within the video display array located at the third node, configured to capture a live video communication feed that is transmitted to the first node when the third node is temporarily paired to the first node such that the live video communication feed captured by the at least one set of video-capture devices at the third node is displayed on the video display array of the first node at approximately full-human body dimensional scale.

3 more elements

A smart node assembly, comprising:

a video display array configured to display, at approximately full-human body dimensional scale, a live video feed provided by video capture devices located at a paired remote smart node, said video display array configured to display a main active window area configured to display said live-video feed and a smart information area configured to display a plurality of individual active windows for broadcasting real-time information;
a set of video-capture devices configured to capture a live video communication feed that is transmitted to said paired remote smart node, said set of video capture devices embedded within said video display array;
a CPU, coupled to said video display array and said set of video capture devices, configured to execute a smart node client to enable said live video communication feed;
a modem configured to connect said CPU to the internet;
and
a supporting structure that physically supports said video display array, said set of video capture devices, said CPU, and said modem.

3 more elements

An intelligent networked system comprising:

a computer process subsystem on a server, wherein the computer process subsystem is configured to enable pairing of a first smart node to a second smart node which is remote from said first smart node through smart node clients located at each of said first smart node and said second smart node;
video display arrays, located at each of said first smart node and second smart node, configured to display live video communication feeds at approximately full-human body dimensional scale;
at least one set of video-capture devices, located at the second smart node and embedded within the video display array located at the second smart node, configured to capture a live video communication feed that is transmitted to the first smart node when the second smart node is paired to the first smart node such that the live video communication feed captured by the at least one set of video-capture devices at the second smart node is displayed on the video display array of the first smart node at approximately full-human body dimensional scale;
and
at least one set of video-capture devices, located at the first smart node and embedded within the video display array located at the first smart node, configured to capture a live video communication feed that is transmitted to the second smart node when the first smart node is temporarily paired to the second smart node such that live video communication feed captured by the at least one set of video-capture devices at the first smart node is displayed on the video display array of the second smart node at approximately full-human body dimensional scale.
