  • Patent number: 10176380
    Abstract: A machine system includes monitor devices each having a camera, the monitor devices distributed over a physical area; layout logic forms images from the cameras of the monitor devices into a scene layout for the area; user interface logic receives training signals from sensors directed to a person physically present in the area and to correlate those signals to subareas of the layout; and analytical logic analyzes the layout and training signals to ascertain subareas of the area at which the monitor devices should focus machine sensor and processing resources.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9894321
    Abstract: A system includes sensor nodes each including camera and a processor, the nodes interconnected via a wide area network. A master controller establishes named queues each associated with a proximate physical object in an area including one or more of the sensor nodes and detectable by the sensor node camera. Each sensor node identifies a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera, and associates the viewed physical object with one of the named queues.

  • Patent number: 9407675
    Abstract: A room conferencing system includes a hub with a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node including a sensor node camera and a sensor node processor. A master controller is operable to establish a plurality of named queues, each of the named queues associated with a proximate physical object in an area comprising the hub and detectable by the sensor node camera. Each sensor node operable to cause the sensor node processor to identify a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera, and associate the viewed physical object with one of the named queues.
