  • Patent number: 9892648
    Abstract: A method for directing the field of vision based on personal interests. The method includes receiving a keyword and/or an image file and processing the keyword and/or image file to generate data representing a user interest. The method includes receiving a video input from a camera representative of the field of vision of the camera and processing the video input to identify a visible element in the field of vision of the camera. The method further includes comparing the visible element in the field of vision of the camera and the data representing the user interest to determine whether the visible element is of interest to the user. A notification is provided to the user for identified visible elements that are of interest to the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9471837
    Abstract: A method of identifying and suggesting objects for a user within a user's field of vision of a personal imaging system. A user's field of vision within the system is monitored. The personal imaging system captures biometric data of the user regarding objects that are focused on within the user's field of vision. The biometric data and any identified emotions regarding the objects being focused on from the user is associated with the user's profile which includes at least demographics. A real-time correlation of the user's profile and demographics with other users is performed to provide a correlation interest score. The interest score may be used to recommend and direct the user's attention to other objects within the user's field of vision that the user may be interested in.
