  • User discovery via digital ID and face recognition
    Patent number: 9773162
    Abstract: Accumulating contact information of a member of a group of participants includes determining contact information that includes facial image information for each of a set of participants that are in close physical proximity to a user, where the set of participants is a subset of potential participants that include people that are not in close proximity to the user. The user obtains a facial image of the member. The facial image of the member is compared to facial images of the set of participants.
