Abstract

Abstract A person identifier and management system (10) includes a face image database (13) that stores the face feature data of each of a number of face images and the person-identifying data associated with each of the face images. A camera (23) is also included in the person identifier and management system (10) for capturing an input face image. A face analysis system (12) is then coupled to the camera (23) and the image database (13) to extract the face feature data of the input face image and to compare the face feature of the input face image with that of each of the face images stored in the database (13) such that the person-identifying data of any stored face image similar to the input face image can be retrieved from the image database (13).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
A person identifier and management system (10), comprising: (A) an image database (13) that stores face feature data of each of a plurality of face images and person-identifying data associated with each of the face images; (B) an image capturing system (11, 23) that captures an input face image; (C) a face analysis system (12) coupled to the image capturing system (11, 23) and the image database (13) to locate and retrieve the person-identifying data of any stored face image similar to the input face image from the image database (13).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 64 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claim 1, wherein the face analysis system (12) locates and retrieves the person-identifying data from the image database (13) by extracting the feature data of the input face image and comparing the face feature data of the input face image with that (101a) of each of the face images stored in the face image database (13).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 91 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claim 1 or 2, wherein the person identifier and management system (10) is a portable personal person identifier and management system, wherein the face analysis system (12) further comprises (I) a face detection and feature extraction system (43) that detects the input face image and extracts the face feature data from the input face image; (II) a search engine (42) that compares the face feature data of the input face image with that of the face images stored in the image database (13).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 57 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of any of claims 1-3, wherein the face analysis system (12) further comprises a user interface (41) that allows the input face image and the person-identifying data to be displayed on a display and that allows a user to input and associate the person-identifying data with a face image displayed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claims 1-4, wherein the image capturing system is an integrated digital camera.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claim 5, wherein the person-identifying data includes name, affiliation, and time and occasion of meetings.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claim 6, further comprising a display (22) that displays the person-identifying data along with the input face image.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 33 words
The person identifier and management system (10) of claim 7, wherein the display (22) is a touch screen display that also allows input of the person-identifying data into the face image database (13).
