Abstract
Systems and methods are described for dynamically adjusting an amount of retrieved recognition data based on the needs of a show, experience, or other event where participants are recognized. The retrieved recognition data may be deleted once it is no longer needed for the event. Recognition data retrieval is limited to just what is needed for the particular task, minimizing the uniqueness of any retrieved recognition data to respect participant privacy while providing an enhanced participant experience through recognition.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a recognition assembly comprising a sensor;
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the system to:
- analyze characteristics of participants of an event to determine an amount of recognition data needed to recognize participants of the event;
- assign a recognition data policy to the recognition assembly based on the determined amount of recognition data needed to recognize participants of the event, wherein the policy controls an amount of recognition data retrieved by the recognition assembly;
- and
- after assigning the recognition data policy, recognizing participants at the event using at least the sensor.

A method, comprising:
- analyzing characteristics of participants of an event to determine an amount of recognition data needed to recognize participants of the event;
- assigning a recognition data policy to a recognition assembly based on the determined amount of recognition data needed to recognize participants of the event, wherein the policy controls an amount of recognition data retrieved by the recognition assembly;
- and
- after assigning the recognition data policy, recognizing participants at the event using at least a sensor of the recognition assembly.
1 more element
A recognition assembly, comprising:
- an image sensor device to acquire image sensor data of one or more participants at an event;
- a recognition data processor to acquire recognition data from the image sensor data based on an assigned recognition data policy, wherein the policy controls an amount of recognition data retrieved by the recognition data processor to minimize an amount of retrieved recognition data while recognizing participants with a threshold accuracy;
- and
- a temporary recognition database for storing the acquired recognition data, wherein the temporary recognition database is configured to deleted the stored data after a predetermined amount of time based on the assigned recognition data policy.
