The invention disclosed consists of a process that consists of the steps capturing and collecting digital images of original art works, sorting those images into working sets or groupings, distributing and displaying the digital imagery of the sets or groups in a number of commercial venues and private residences via a slide show utilizing high-resolution video media including television sets and projection onto walls or screens. This process will serve to 1) expose artists' works to a broad audience widely distributed throughout a broad geographic area, 2) entertain its audience; and 3) introduce that audience to dazzling new "high-definition' displays, generally defined as having XGA resolution or higher.

A method organizes in-person gatherings of users at public or commercial locations in order to help the users meet new people. The method may be executed or performed by a mobile or computing device and may include the following key attributes: a mobile application program that allows (i) creating either system auto-generated events or user-generated events; (ii) identifying and reviewing users; and (iii) inviting those users to an event automatically based on meeting event criteria. The mobile application program also allows a user to accept or decline event invitations, to provide feedback on another user based on an in-person meeting or on a venue visited. A user's feedback increases or decreases the likelihood of the user being suggested for future meeting with the other user or attending a future event at the same venue. The method also allows businesses to list and post events and to generate revenue through direct sales of event-related products in the application program or at the events listed or posted.

The invention discloses a passenger flow monitoring system and a monitoring method. The system includes: at least one depth camera for collecting video image information of a target site in real time;an analysis module, configured to calculate passenger flow information of the target site according to the video image information; and a pushing module, which is configured to push the passenger flow information and the video image information to the user terminal. The passenger flow monitoring system and the monitoring method of the invention can comprehensively grasp the changing law of the passenger flow, and play an important role in the scientific management and the marketing decision of the commercial premises. Aiming at the passenger flow information, the system and the method can reflect the potential management problems of the target places (such as shopping malls), and can also take corresponding marketing measures and necessary safety precautions against the distribution of high and low peaks of passenger flow.

The present invention establishes a new mode for the service robot to acquire the visual signal of the surrounding environment, and obtains it in a 720-degree panoramic mode without dead angles, replacing the scan and acquisition of the surrounding environment vision by turning the head or the body commonly used by the original service robot way of signaling. The invention consists of a 720-degree panoramic camera installed on the head or torso of a service robot, a local storage module, a video analysis and processing module, a 720-degree panoramic browser, a service robot interaction module, remote communication and cloud storage and analysis modules.
