Abstract: A system and method for concurrently streaming audio and video data in different qualities through a single input signal is provided. Audio and video data are captured for monitoring at a selectable rate set by a remote computing device. The captured A/V data is stored in a local memory as a local data stream with a high definition and may be streamed locally at a high rate. Simultaneously, the captured A/V data is manipulated in different (lower) quality for transmission as a remote data stream based on remote instructions. The local data stream is also streamed to the remote computing device.

Abstract: A system and method for capturing images and reconstructing full images based on the captured image for identification. An image captured by streamed video is used to identify an image of an individual based on facial recognition algorithms. Features of the individual's face image are identified and used for determining measurement and alignment of the individual face image. Based on the measurement and alignment of the individual face image, further facial images of the individual are extrapolated and reconstructed. The reconstructed facial images of the individuals are compared with facial data stored in a database and the identification of the individual is performed.

Abstract: A method of providing assistance from an assistant to a user, wherein the user and the assistant are remote from each other, includes obtaining an image of an area adjacent the user, transmitting the image from the user to the assistant, and displaying the image on a display to the assistant. The method also includes transmitting a message generated by the assistant relating to the image from the assistant to the user and audibly outputting the message to the user.
