Systems, methods, and devices for information sharing and matching

A method comprising:

• receiving an image of a first subject of interest at a remote server and storing the image in a memory of the remote server;
• transmitting the image from the remote server to one or more local electronic devices together with a first identifier;
• at each local electronic device:
• receiving the image and first identifier from the remote server;
• processing the image using facial recognition software to create first biometric data;
• and
• at a first one of the local electronic devices:
• capturing an image of a second subject of interest at a surveillance system connected to the first local electronic device;
• processing the image of the second subject of interest with the facial recognition software of the first local electronic device to produce second biometric data;
• determining whether the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest by comparing the first biometric data to the second biometric data;
• and
• upon determining that the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest, transmitting a first alert associated with the first identifier to the remote server;
• receiving the first alert at the remote server;
• and
• upon receipt of the first alert, transmitting a second alert from the remote server to one or more local electronic devices, optionally including the first local electronic device.

A method comprising:

• receiving a first image of a first subject of interest from a first local electronic device at a remote server and storing the image in a memory of the remote server together with a first identifier;
• at a second local electronic device:
• capturing a second image of a second subject of interest at a surveillance system connected to the second local electronic device;
• transmitting the second image of the second subject of interest to the remote server;
• receiving the at least one second image from the second electronic device at the remote server and storing the at least one second image in a memory of the remote server;
• processing the first image using facial recognition software at the remote server to create first biometric data;
• processing the second image using the facial recognition software at the remote server to produce second biometric data;
• determining whether the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest by comparing the first biometric data to the second biometric data;
• and
• upon determining that the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest, transmitting an alert associated with the first identifier to one or more local electronic devices, optionally including the first and/or second local electronic devices.

A method comprising:

• receiving first biometric data of a first subject of interest from a first local electronic device at a remote server and storing the first biometric data together with a first identifier in a memory of the remote server;
• at a second local electronic device:
• capturing an image of a second subject of interest at a surveillance system connected to the second local electronic device;
• processing the image using the facial recognition software of the second local electronic device to produce second biometric data;
• transmitting the second biometric data to the remote server;
• receiving the second biometric data from the second local electronic device at the remote server and storing the second biometric data in a memory of the remote server;
• determining whether the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest by comparing the first biometric data to the second biometric data;
• and
• upon determining that the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest, transmitting an alert associated with the first identifier to one or more local electronic devices, optionally including the first and/or second local electronic devices.

A method comprising:

• one of:
• receiving first biometric data of a first subject of interest at a remote server and storing the first biometric data together with a first identifier in a memory of the remote server;
• or
• receiving an image of a first subject of interest at a remote server and storing the image in a memory of the remote server and processing the image using facial recognition software at the remote server to create first biometric data, and
• transmitting the first biometric data from the remote server to one or more local electronic devices together with the first identifier;
• at each local electronic device:
• receiving the first biometric data and first identifier from the remote server;
• and
• at a first one of the local electronic devices:
• capturing an image of a second subject of interest at a surveillance system connected to the first local electronic device;
• processing the image of the second subject of interest with facial recognition software of the first local electronic device to produce second biometric data;
• determining whether the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest by comparing the first biometric data to the second biometric data;
• and
• upon determining that the first subject of interest is the same as the second subject of interest, transmitting a first alert associated with the first identifier to the remote server;
• receiving the first alert at the remote server;
• and
• upon receipt of the first alert, transmitting a second alert from the remote server to one or more local electronic devices, optionally including the first local electronic device.
