APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING AN AUDIO-VIDEO MESSAGE TO A RECOGNIZED USER

摘要

A method for delivering an audio and/or video message to an individual. The method includes the steps of: receiving the message; detecting the presence of an individual; and if an individual is detected, delivering the message to the individual. Preferably, the message is recorded when received and associated with either a group of individuals, such as a family, or a particular individual whose facial image data is stored in a memory. If a facial recognition system detects someone from the group of individuals or the particular individual, the message is delivered to the individual by way of a video monitor and/or speaker. The method also preferably locates an individual who is associated with a message in a room in a structure and delivers the message to the room in which the individual is located.
