Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for displaying additional or targeted content to a user are disclosed. An image or data capture device associated with a display device may capture an image of a space associated with the user or capture data related to what is being viewed by the viewer's eyes. Objects in the captured image or objects being viewed may be recognized, including any identifiable image, item, detail, or article and the like. A recognized object may then be compared to a target list to determine a match. If matched, and if there is additional content associated with the target object, the additional content may be presented to the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a first image captured by a first image capture device associated with a first device configured to output content;
- receiving, by the computing device, a second image captured by a second image capture device associated with a second device configured to output the content, wherein the second image is different from the first image;
- determining, based on object recognition data associated with recognition of a plurality of candidate objects, a first quantity of objects, among a group of objects, in the first image and a second quantity of objects, among the group of objects, in the second image;
- determining, based on a comparison of the first quantity and the second quantity, one of the first device or the second device to be a target device;
- and
- outputting, to the target device, additional content associated with the group of objects.
A method comprising:
- sending, by a computing device via a network interface, content to a plurality of devices;
- receiving, via the network interface, a first image, captured by a first image capture device associated with a first device of the plurality of devices, and a second image, captured by a second image capture device associated with a second device of the plurality of devices, wherein the first image and the second image are different;
- determining, based on object recognition data associated with recognition of a plurality of candidate objects, a first quantity of objects, among a group of objects, in the first image and a second quantity of objects, among the group of objects, in the second image;
- and
- outputting, to one of the first device or the second device based on a comparison of the first quantity and the second quantity, additional content associated with the group of objects.
A method comprising:
- causing, by a first device that outputs content, a first image capture device to capture a first image;
- determining, based on object recognition data associated with recognition of a plurality of candidate objects, a first quantity of objects, among a group of objects, in the first image;
- sending, via a network interface to one or more servers, the first quantity for comparison with a second quantity of objects, among the group of objects, in a second image captured by a second image capture device associated with a second device that is different from the first device;
- receiving, via the network interface from the one or more servers and based on the comparison, additional content associated with the group of objects;
- and
- outputting, to a display, the additional content.
