Abstract
A system and method for controlling the display of video content upon one or more displays as a function of user identity as determined by facial recognition. The system and method provide for the video content to be transferred between multiple screens so as to provide a user with a substantially continuous video experience as the user travels between screen locations. User images captured by both video and still image cameras can be utilized for purposes of user recognition. One or more media hubs may be utilized in performing and supporting the disclosed technology.
Claims20
A system for the display of video content, the system comprising:
- a first camera adapted to capture user images within a field-of-view associated with a first display;
- a second camera adapted to capture user images within a field-of-view associated with a second display;
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor adapted to process and selectively route video content to first and second video displays, wherein the at least one processor is further adapted to:
- extract first facial recognition data from user images captured by the first camera and store the extracted first facial recognition data in a first memory location associated with the first display;
- extract second facial recognition data from user images captured by the second camera and store the extracted second facial recognition data in a second memory location associated with the second display;
- analyze the first and second facial recognition data;
- and
- route video content being displayed upon the first display to the second display based upon the analysis.
A method for the processing and selectively routing video content in a system comprising:
- a first camera adapted to capture user images within a field-of-view associated with a first display;
- a second camera adapted to capture user images within a field-of-view associated with a second display;
- and
- at least one processor,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- extracting first facial recognition data from user images captured by the first camera;
- extracting second facial recognition data from user images captured by the second camera;
- analyzing the first and second facial recognition data;
- and
- routing video content being displayed upon the first display to the second display based upon the analysis.
