Television receiver and home automation system and methods to associate data with nearby people

This system uses your smart TV and home sensors to compare a person seen on television with someone present in your home. It identifies characteristics of a "virtual person" from TV shows, gathers data about a "local person" using home automation sensors, compares these characteristics, and then displays relevant information. The patent specifically focuses on detecting a suspected criminal shown on TV.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced AI for real-time image and facial recognition was widely available. The accuracy and accessibility of identifying and comparing characteristics from video streams and home sensor data have vastly improved since 2016.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, sensor integration, image recognition
