Patent number: 9278287Abstract: A video game system (or other data processing system) can visually identify a person entering a field of view of the system and determine whether the person has been previously interacting with the system. In one embodiment, the system establishes thresholds, enrolls players, performs the video game (or other application) including interacting with a subset of the players based on the enrolling, determines that a person has become detectable in the field of view of the system, automatically determines whether the person is one of the enrolled players, maps the person to an enrolled player and interacts with the person based on the mapping if it is determined that the person is one of the enrolled players, and assigns a new identification to the person and interacts with the person based on the new identification if it is determined that the person is not one of the enrolled players.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tommer Leyvand, Mitchell Stephen Dernis, Jinyu Li, Yichen Wei, Jian Sun, Casey Leon Meekhof, Timothy Milton Keosababian
