Apparatus and method for privacy protection of data collection in pervasive environments
First Claim
1. A security system which is nonintrusive of personal privacy of a person in a space comprising:
- at least a first localization sensor subsystem, if any, in the possession of the person;
a video surveillance subsystem arranged and configured to collect visual data related to the person in the space; and
a computer subsystem coupled to the localization sensor subsystem and video surveillance subsystem to associate a predetermined privacy level with the localization sensor subsystem, and to provide an access control privilege with the localization sensor subsystem, the computer subsystem determining how to present, store and/or retrieve the visual data while meeting predetermined the privacy level associated with the person.

25. A method of operating a security system which is nonintrusive of personal privacy of a person in a space comprising:
-
localizing the person to an identified space;
collecting visual data related to the person in the space;
associating a selected privacy level with the localized person;
providing an access control privilege with the localized person; and
determining how to present, store and/or retrieve the visual data while meeting predetermined a privacy level associated with the person. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36)
