Face recognition systems and methods for media playback devices

A system, comprising:

• a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• accessing a video comprising a set of frames;
• receiving a command to identify a target displayed in a first frame of the set of frames;
• generating a first target data based on the target displayed in the first frame;
• generating a first confidence level of similarity between the first target data and a second target data stored in a remote database, wherein the second target data comprises identity data;
• in response to the first confidence level being at or above a confidence level threshold, outputting the identity data of the second target data;
• and
• in response to the first confidence level being below the confidence level threshold:
• generating a third target data based on the target displayed in a second frame of the set of frames;
• generating a second confidence level of similarity between the third target data and the second target data stored in the remote database;
• in response to the second confidence level being at or above the confidence level threshold, outputting the identity data of the second target data;
• and
• in response to the second confidence level being below the confidence level threshold, determining that the target is not identified.

• in response to the first confidence level being at or above a confidence level threshold:
• displaying the identity data of the second target data;
• storing the second target data in a local database;
• in response to the first confidence level being below the confidence level threshold:
• generating a third target data based on the target displayed in a second frame of the set of frames;
• generating a second confidence level of similarity between the third target data and the second target data stored in the remote database;
