Description

A method for transmitting information about identified users .

Technology area

The invention relates to the field of computer networks, in particular to information transmission technologies. More specifically, the invention relates to methods for transmitting information about users located within a certain radius from the device to which the data is transmitted.

Prior art

Currently, there are known methods of face recognition, in which, using biometric data of users, biometric data are compared with templates of biometric data stored in a database. Such methods are convenient for identifying users, but they have an important drawback. Such methods are used to ensure security in crowded places and are not adapted for information purposes, so all information about identified users goes to a host computer located in a remote location. But not infrequently there is a need to search for specialists in a certain area, while the necessary specialists may be nearby geographically, but there is no way to find out.

The task that the developer of the information transfer method has set himself is to develop a method that would automatically transfer information about the people who are near the user.

The technical result of the proposed method of transferring information is to provide the possibility of automatic transfer of information about the identified users near the user.

Disclosure of invention

The essence of the method for transmitting information about identified users is that:

obtain information about the location of the user's device;

obtain information about the location of devices of other users located in a certain radius from the aforementioned user's device;

receive visual information, including video images of streets, houses, and surrounding people in real time using the camera of the user's device;

correlate visual information with information about the location of users' devices;

obtaining biometric information about users, identifying users who are within a certain radius from the aforementioned user's device using the obtained biometric information about users;

transmitting available information about identified users to the user's device.

According to another embodiment, the essence of the method for transmitting information about identified users is that:

obtain biometric data of users who are within a certain radius from the device with which the biometric data was obtained;

identify users by biometric data;

filtering information about identified users depending on the search request;

transmitting available information about the identified users to the user's device;

are allocated using augmented reality or on the user's device, all users who match the request and are near the device with which the biometric data was obtained.

Additionally, they can receive biometric information about users and use it to identify users. For example, face recognition can be used as biometric data. You can also identify inanimate objects that have become part of visual information using identifiers and transmit information to the user about these inanimate objects.

Augmented reality devices can be used as a user's device, and information can be transmitted in augmented reality format.

Information about identified users can be personal information about users and information that allows you to contact these users, and this information includes information that users themselves have allowed to make public. In this case, information about identified users can be obtained from social networks. Also, if necessary, they can filter information about identified users, depending on the request.

An example of a specific application of the invention

The claimed method for transmitting information about identified users is as follows. To implement the claimed method according to the first embodiment, information about the location of the user's device is obtained. Such a device can be any computer with the ability to determine the location, as well as a camera and the ability to display images. Preferred such devices can be mobile devices such as glasses or augmented reality lenses. They also receive information about the location of other users' devices that are within a certain radius from the aforementioned user's device. In this case, the devices of other users only need to be able to determine the location. With the help of the user's device, visual information is obtained. For example, video images of streets, houses, and surrounding people in real time. Correlate visual information with information about the location of users' devices. For example, per unit of time using a camera, an image was obtained on which 3 people are present, and from information about the location of users, it is known that there are 7 people within a radius of 100 meters. In this case, it is determined exactly which 3 people got into the camera out of those 7 people who are within a radius of 100 meters. For this, additional information about users can be used, for example, biometric data, or well-known methods such as face recognition. Or for this, for example, they can calculate the distance to each individual person from the image and compare it with the location data. Users are identified who are within a certain radius from the aforementioned user's device. The available information about the identified users is transmitted to the user's device. For example, if a user uses augmented reality glasses, for him it may look like information about the people around him. The user sees that, for example, next to him is Victoria, who is a lawyer in a large company, and other information about Victoria, as well as the opportunity to exchange contact information with Victoria upon request.

According to the second embodiment of the invention, biometric data of users who are within a certain radius from the device with which the biometric data were obtained are obtained. For example, a user uses augmented reality glasses and with the help of a camera, which is part of augmented reality glasses, biometric data of other users near the aforementioned user is obtained. The biometric data of the users is compared with the information stored in the database to identify the users. Any biometric data that can be obtained by the user's device, such as gait, heart rate, face geometry, etc., can be used as biometric data. After users are identified, available information about the identified users is transmitted to the user's device.

In any of the embodiments of the invention, a certain radius means any radius that can be the same for all devices, or different for each individual device or situation.

Any of the embodiments of the invention may provide many additional functions described below.

Among the information about the identified users, location information of the identified users can be transmitted. For example, friends of the user and transmit information about the distance and direction in which a particular friend of the user is.

They can also identify objects, as well as animals that have become part of visual information using identifiers and convey information to the user about these objects. For example, if a storefront contains a QR code or other identifier, on glasses or augmented reality lenses, or using other devices, information about a particular store is transmitted to the user. Or, for example, they can identify objects by their visual characteristics and then transmit information about the objects or animals to the user.

If an augmented reality device is used as a user's device, the information is transmitted in augmented reality format.

Information about identified users, for example, can be personal information about users and information that allows you to contact these users, and this information includes information that users themselves have allowed to make public.

Information about identified users can be obtained from social networks. Users, publishing various information about themselves in social networks, thus, can permit its dissemination according to the described invention.

It is also possible to filter information about identified users, depending on the request. For example, if a user wants to find a lawyer, he can create a request to find lawyers. In this case, all users who are nearby or passing by will be highlighted using augmented reality or on the user's device, if they are lawyers.

The invention also assumes that in order to identify users, they must be registered. Methods for registering users in information systems are widely known and do not require a detailed description. It can also encrypt various data. The described invention can be implemented using either a centralized or a decentralized computer system.

All of the above examples can be considered in various combinations and it should be borne in mind that these examples do not limit the application of the invention.
