Abstract
Systems and methods of delegating media capturing functionality from one device to another are presented. A first device configured with an object recognition engine captures a media representation of an environment and identifies an object within that environment. Then based on matched object traits from a database, the engine selects a delegation rules set, and delegates certain media capturing functionality to a second device according to the selected delegation rules set.
Claims22
A data capture Personal Area Network (PAN) system comprising:
- at least one non-transitory computer readable memory storing software instructions;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one non-transitory computer readable memory and that performs the following operations upon execution of the software instructions:
- configuring a first media capturing device within the PAN to operate as an object recognition engine;
- obtaining a first media representation comprising at least biometric data of an environment by the object recognition engine;
- identifying at least one object associated with the biometric data from the environment derived from the first media representation;
- obtaining one or more object traits associated with the at least one object from an object database;
- selecting a delegation rules set as a function of the one or more obtained object traits;
- and
- delegating at least some media capturing functionality to a second media capturing device within the PAN according to the selected delegation rules set;
- and
- after capturing a second media representation at the second media capturing device, analyzing the second media representation to derive media content relevant to both the first and second media representations.
A computer-assisted method for capturing data within a personal area network (PAN), comprising:
- configuring a first media capturing device within the PAN to operate as an object recognition engine;
- obtaining a first media representation comprising at least biometric data of an environment by the object recognition engine;
- identifying at least one object associated with the biometric data from the environment derived from the first media representation;
- obtaining one or more object traits associated with the at least one object from an object database;
- selecting a delegation rules set as a function of the one or more obtained object traits;
- delegating at least some media capturing functionality to a second media capturing device within the PAN according to the selected delegation rules set;
- and
- after capturing a second media representation at the second media capturing device, analyzing the second media representation to derive media content relevant to both the first and second media representations.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a non-transitory computer readable memory configured for storing one or more instructions, which upon execution by one or more processors, perform the following operations for capturing data within a personal area network (PAN):
- configuring a first media capturing device within the PAN to operate as an object recognition engine;
- obtaining a first media representation comprising at least biometric data of an environment by the object recognition engine;
- identifying at least one object associated with the biometric data from the environment derived from the first media representation;
- obtaining one or more object traits associated with the at least one object from an object database;
- selecting a delegation rules set as a function of the one or more obtained object traits;
- delegating at least some media capturing functionality to a second media capturing device within the PAN according to the selected delegation rules set;
- and
- after capturing a second media representation at the second media capturing device, analyzing the second media representation to derive media content relevant to both the first and second media representations.
