Publication number: 20220174338Abstract: Technologies relating to system and method of real-time video overlaying or superimposing display from multiple mutually synchronous cameras. are disclosed. An example method of real-time video overlaying includes the steps of: synchronizing frame rates of a depth data, a face meta data, and a video data of a first camera video output captured by a first camera; determining a first depth between a user face and the first camera; using a cutoff depth to determine a user body contour; generating a binary mask of the user body contour based on the first depth and the cutoff depth; smoothing an edge of the binary mask; merging the binary mask with the first camera video output and generating a merged first camera video output; and overlaying the merged first camera video output onto a second camera video output.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2021Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: LOOP NOW TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Li CHEN, Yang-Cheng FAN, Ting Kwan LUK, Xinshuo ZHANG, WuHsi LI

Publication number: 20130331058Abstract: An emergency alert device is adapted to be worn by a user and to automatically make a cellular phone call to an emergency services center upon activation by a user. The device automatically transmits its current location—derived from GPS, cellular telephone triangulation, or otherwise—via text message, if the emergency services center is equipped to receive text messages, or via a synthesized voice if the emergency services center is not so equipped. The user does not need to dial any phone numbers to activate the call. The device may be attached to, or incorporated into, a wrist watch. A text message is also automatically sent to a recipient who is pre-designated by the user. The text message includes the current location of the user. Repeated text messages are sent if the user's position changes by more than a threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: HELP NOW TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Rebecca S.
