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 an environment associated with the user or capture data related to what is being viewed by the viewer's eyes. Objects in the captured image may be recognized, and additional content may be provided based on presence or absence of recognized objects.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- use a camera to capture a plurality of images during output of media content, wherein the plurality of images comprise images of a user and an environment in which the media content is being output;
- cause computerized image processing of the plurality of images to determine that an object has been removed from the environment;
- select, based on the determining that the object has been removed from the environment and based on a target list associating the object with additional content, the additional content to be output for the user;
- and
- cause output of the selected additional content.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a computing device and a camera;
- wherein the computing device comprises:
- one or more first processors;
- and
- memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the computing device to:
- receive, from the camera, a plurality of images during output of media content, wherein the plurality of images comprise images of a user and an environment in which the media content is being output;
- cause computerized image processing of the plurality of images to determine that an object has been removed from the environment;
- select, based on the determining that the object has been removed from the environment and based on a target list associating the object with additional content, the additional content to be output for the user;
- and
- cause output of the selected additional content, and
- wherein the camera comprises:
- one or more second processors;
- and
- memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the camera to:
- capture the plurality of images
- send, to the computing device, the plurality of images.
13 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- using a camera to capture a plurality of images during output of media content, wherein the plurality of images comprise images of a user and an environment in which the media content is being output;
- causing computerized image processing of the plurality of images to determine that an object has been removed from the environment;
- selecting, based on the determining that the object has been removed from the environment and based on a target list associating the object with additional content, the additional content to be output for the user;
- and
- causing output of the selected additional content.
