Photo Tagging With Biometric Metadata Generated By Smart Textiles

摘要

A smart camera includes a photo image capturing device, a biometric data retrieval device, a positioning signal receiver, and a tagging device. The photo image capturing device captures a digitized photograph that shows an image of a person. The biometric data retrieval device requests and receives biometric data for the person from a smart textile garment being worn by the person. The positioning signal receiver receives a positioning signal from a positioning device in the smart textile garment, in order to identify a location of the person within the field of view of the photo image capturing device. The tagging device associates the image of the person with the received biometric data for the person, thereby tagging the image of the person with the biometric data.

主权项

1. A smart camera comprising:
a photo image capturing device, wherein the photo image capturing device captures a digitized photograph that comprises an image of a person, and wherein the photo image capturing device captures images within a field of view of the photo image capturing device, and wherein the digitized photograph comprises images of multiple persons; a biometric data retrieval device, wherein the biometric data retrieval device requests and receives biometric data for at least one person from the multiple persons from a smart textile garment worn by the at least one person from the multiple persons whose image was captured in the digitized photograph and wherein the biometric data retrieval device further combines received biometric data for the multiple persons into a combined biometric signature, wherein the combined biometric signature describes an overall biometric state of the multiple persons; a positioning signal receiver, wherein the positioning signal receiver receives a positioning signal from a positioning device in the smart textile garment worn by the person, and wherein the positioning signal identifies a location of the person within the field of view of the photo image capturing device; a tagging device, wherein the tagging device associates the image of the person with the received biometric data for the person, wherein the tagging device identifies a position on the digitized photograph at which the image of the person is located, and wherein the tagging device displays the biometric data at the position on the digitized photograph at which the image of the person is located and wherein the tagging device further tags the digitized photograph with the combined biometric signature;wherein the smart camera receives a request from a requester for any digitized photograph that is tagged with the combined biometric signature; andwherein the smart camera, in response to receiving the request for any digitized photograph that is tagged with the combined biometric signature, generates an instruction to transmit all digitized photographs that are tagged with the combined biometric signature to the requester.
