  • System and Method of Using Facial Recognition to Update a Personal Contact List
    Publication number: 20110026778
    Abstract: An electronic device has a memory that stores images of people and a contact list of personal contacts. Each personal contact is a record that identifies the contact information for a person, and a corresponding facial signature for the person. The facial signature identifies a unique facial pattern for that person. The device analyzes the facial features of the person in the image and extracts selected facial features for comparison to the facial signatures in the contact list. Based on the results of the comparison, the device will link the image to the contact information.
