System and method for displaying content on a television in standby mode

摘要

A system and method for displaying content on a television in standby mode. The system can have storage for storing face data of one or more users and for storing preference data associated to the face data, where the preference data indicates preferences of the user, a display for displaying content, and a standby indicator for indicating that the television is in standby mode. In a case that the television is in standby mode, a front camera for capturing an image of a user is activated. The system can also have a recommendation device for searching the attribute data of content currently available and for selecting, in a case that the captured image corresponds to one of the store face data, at least one content to be displayed that has attribute data matching the associated stored preference data.

1. A system for displaying content on a television when the television is not displaying any television programs, the system comprising:
memory to store face data of one or more users and to store preference data associated with the face data, the preference data indicating respective preferences of the one or more users; a display to display content items in an output display direction; an indicator to indicate that the television is not being used to display any television programs; a camera facing a same direction as the output display direction of the display; and circuitry configured to, when responsive to the indicator indicates indicating that the television is not being used to display any television programs:
capture an image of a user using the camera,compare face data associated with the captured image to the face data of the one or more users stored in the memory,select for display on the display a plurality of content items having attribute data matching the stored preference data associated with one portion of the face data of the one or more users stored in the memory, responsive to the face data associated with the captured image corresponding to the one portion of the face data of the one or more users stored in the memory, anddisplay at the same time the content items on the display, the displayed content items being unique and personalized for the user and adapted to the stored preferences of the user, wherein the circuitry is configured to compare the face data associated with the captured image to face data associated with picture and video files stored in the memory responsive to both of the face data associated with the captured image not corresponding to any portion of the face data of the one or more users stored in the memory, and the face data associated with the captured image corresponding to a plurality of detected faces, and to cause display on the display of an image corresponding to the picture or video file in a case that the face data associated with the captured image is determined to be associated with one or more of the picture and video files.
