Abstract: One embodiment of this disclosure is a method for selling an item. The method includes providing an image to a machine, manipulating the image to provide a modified image, identifying at least one item, and displaying the at least one item on the modified image.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an exerciser comprising including the steps of associating a motion tracking device with the exerciser; detecting movement of the exerciser with the motion tracking device during an exercise session; periodically prompting the exerciser during the exercise session to provide a biometric data feature to an identity verification module associated with the tracking device, the biometric data feature being selected from at least one of an image, a sound cue, a motion cue, a barcode, a body scan and a DNA specimen; processing the biometric data feature with the identity verification module by comparing the biometric data feature to a stored biometric profile of the exerciser; and collecting exercise data from the exerciser if the biometric data feature matches the biometric profile.

Abstract: A method for motivating a user including the steps of providing a device with an image capturing feature; capturing an image of the user with the image capturing feature; transmitting the captured image to an identity verification device; comparing biometric data from the image to a biometric profile provided by the user; generating a motivational image of the user with a processing device, the motivational image being produced from an acquired image of the user, the acquired image depicting at least one feature of the user; and displaying the motivational image from the processing device in substantially real time to the user; wherein the motivational image exclusively depicts a real image of the user having enhanced dimensions for the at least one feature.

Abstract: A method for motivating a user including the steps of providing a device with an image capturing feature; capturing an image of the user with the image capturing feature; modifying the captured image with a processing device to produce a motivational image of the user, the motivational image depicting at least one enhanced feature of the user; and displaying the motivational image from the processing device in substantially real time to the user; wherein the motivational image exclusively depicts a real image of the user having enhanced dimensions for the at least one feature.

Abstract: A system for displaying a motivational image of a user on an electronic device that includes at least a camera and a display. The system includes an adjustable mount for the electronic device that is adapted to orient the camera and display of the electronic device towards the user. The electronic device, upon detection of movement by the camera, is adapted to display the motivational image, such as a thinner representation of the user, on the display in accordance to the speed or duration of the detection of the movement of the user. The electronic device may be adapted to further receive an input from the user in order to calculate the amount of exercise required for the user to achieve the desired weight. Further, the system is able to validate the user's identity and exercise achieved as well as providing health screenings using biometric testing.
