Abstract
A digital image of the object is captured and the object is recognized from plurality of objects in a database. An information address corresponding to the object is then used to access information and initiate communication pertinent to the object.
Claims27
A method of conducting a financial transaction, the method comprising:
- analyzing, via a computing device processor, a video stream;
- identifying, via the computing device processor, an individual in the video stream;
- displaying, via the computing device processor, an information address associated with the video stream where the information address is related to a user of a mobile device;
- validating, via the computing device processor, identification information pertinent to the individual identified in the video stream;
- and
- initiating, via the computing device processor, a financial transaction related to the individual identified in the video stream and the information address.
3 more elements
An apparatus for conducting a financial transaction, the apparatus comprising:
- a computing platform having a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, and:
- an image capture sensor coupled with the memory and configured to capture a video stream;
- an identification algorithm stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and configured to identify an image associated with an individual in the video stream;
- a display application stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and configured to display an information address associated with the video stream, the identified individual, and a mobile device;
- a comparison algorithm stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and configured to identify the individual based on a comparison to a reference image;
- and
- a transaction mechanism stored in the memory and executable by the processor, and configured to initiate a transaction associated with the identified individual and the information address.
4 more elements
