Identification system for sharing information

Abstract

A system and method for sharing information between users based on recognition of the users and their associated processing devices in a scene. Interactions can be physical, verbal or a combination of physical and verbal gestures. Movements of the user and other users are tracked and interactions detected between them. User processing devices are connected by detecting users within view of a capture device, the capture device detecting motion tracking data for the user, such as a skeletal model. Information sharing may be controlled by the processing devices directly, by an intermediary server, or by a combination of the processing device and an intermediary server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for identifying users and sharing information among those users. Background technique [0002] Many systems exist that allow users to share information. Often, information sharing is somewhat cumbersome and not based on natural interaction between users. Information sharing is generally not tied to physical location. Sharing data from one computer to another typically involves the user with the data configuring the computer in some way as a server or providing information to a shared environment, and the other user configuring their computer to connect to that server or shared environment. This can be a complex and / or time-consuming process. Users often find it easier to simply email the data because the client / server relationship is already established. [0003] Similarly, while at least one app exists for proximity sharing between devices, exchanging contact information such as email addresses ...
