CPC Class H04W

The present disclosure provides a method, device and computer readable storage medium for communication based on smart video cameras in the field of communication technology. The method comprises: receiving a communication request from a first smart video camera, wherein the communication request carries a device identification of the first smart video camera; determining the device identification of a second smart video camera bound with the first smart video camera, based on the device identification of the first smart video camera; establishing a communication between the first smart video camera and the second smart video camera based on the device identification of the second smart video camera. In the examples of the present disclosure, the server is able to realize the communication between the first smart video camera and the second smart video camera according to their device identifications. In this way, users are no longer restricted to the communication with the mobile terminal currently logging in to the user account, and the applicable scenario of the communication function of the smart video camera is thus expanded.

This disclosure is directed to facilitating voice and video communication between users independent of a location or a device. A communication request can specify users, who may be identified and located in their respective environments. For example, users can be identified and located using facial recognition imaging techniques and/or by monitoring a radio frequency (RF) signal associated with a device that is carried or worn by a user. After determining a location of a user, individual devices can be configured as a functionally grouped device to allow the users to communicate. For example, capabilities of a television, microphone, speaker, and imaging device can be combined to allow a video communication between users. Further, as a user moves around his or her environment, the location of the user can be tracked and additional functionally grouped devices can be provided for seamless communication.

A monitoring system includes at least one processor device and at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor device. The monitoring system includes a first software module executable by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the first software module is configured to monitor one or more sensor(s), wherein the one or more sensor(s) are configured to collect personally identifiable information, wherein the personally identifiable information pertains to a monitored individual and enables the monitored individual to be uniquely identified. The monitoring system also includes a second software module executed by the at least one processor and the at least one memory architecture, wherein the second software module is configured to enable a wireless transmitter to transmit a report on the monitored individual.

An area display system (10), including: at least one flying camera (54), for producing a picture (56A) of at least one area (12A) for at least two specific times (40A, 40B); a social network geographical navigation application (60), for obtaining locations (16A2, 16C2) of objects (16A1, 16C1) via broadcasting smartphones (52A) thereof, roaming in the at least one area (12A); and a processor, for deleting regions (50A, 50B) from the picture (56A) being different in the at least two specific times (40A, 40B), and for inserting a symbol (16A3) for each of the roaming objects (16A1) into the picture (56A), conforming to the location (16A2) thereof.

A method (and structure) includes forming a wireless ad hoc network with a plurality of sensors at a first location, the ad hoc network being a localized, decentralized network wherein each participating sensor has an equal status on the network for performing network functions and is free to associate with any other ad hoc network device in a link range of a vicinity of the first location. Data is transmitted from the plurality of sensors via the ad hoc network, for consumption by an at-home user located at a second location different from said first location. Each sensor indicates a location and a directivity of sensing in the vicinity of the first location, so that the plurality of sensors thereby can provide data sufficient for the at-home user to be immersed in an experience at the first location.

A method and system for annotating playable media files is provided. A virtual clip is associated with first and second locations in the playable media file. The first and second locations together define a clip of the playable media file occurring between the first and second locations. The clip is displayed on a computing device of a user and a first user input associated with the virtual clip is received. The first user input is determined to conform to a predetermined format defining taxonomy tags. One or more taxonomy tags are identified from the user input and the virtual clip is associated, in an account of the user, with each of the one or more taxonomy tags identified from the user input.
