1. A method for delivering at least one communication to at least one recipient comprising:
- detecting the subject corresponding to the recipient and making a representation of the subject at a first time;
determining a subject area on a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; and
,providing at least one communication at least proximate to the subject area on the surface.

Abstract
A system detects a subject(s) or recipient(s), or an object(s) associated therewith, and sends a communication, for example, a message, to the subject, or object associated therewith, collectively, the “subject.” The communication is projected as an image proximate to the subject, and is projected to the subject when stationary or in motion, and in some cases, the communication is selected based on the direction of travel of the subject.

9. A method for delivering at least one communication to a subject comprising:
-
continuously scanning a predetermined area at predetermined intervals to detect a subject; making a representation of the subject at each predetermined interval while the subject remains detected; determining a subject area on a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; and
,providing at least one communication at least proximate to the subject area on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for providing at least one communication to a subject comprising:
-
a detector for detecting a subject in a predetermined area; a projector for projecting at least one communication at least proximate to a location on a surface corresponding to the position of the detected subject in the predetermined area; and a control unit in electronic communication with the detector and the projector, the control unit configured for; obtaining a representation of the subject; determining a subject area of a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; and providing the at least one communication to the projector. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer-usable storage medium having a computer program embodied thereon for causing a suitably programmed system to provide at least one communication to at least one subject, by performing the following steps when such program is executed on the system:
-
obtaining a representation of a subject; determining an area on a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; providing at least one communication to the projector for the subject; and causing the projector to provide at least one communication at least proximate to the area on the surface. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for delivering at least one communication to at least one subject in a predetermined area comprising:
-
detecting a subject at a first time and assigning a first position where the subject was detected at the first time; detecting the subject at a second time, subsequent to the first time, making a representation of the subject at the second time, and assigning a second position where the subject was detected at the second time; determining a subject area for a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; determining the direction of travel of the subject based on the first position and the second position and the location of the second position within the predetermined area; and
,providing at least one communication at least proximate to the subject area on the surface based on the direction of travel of the subject within the predetermined area. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A system for providing at least one communication to a subject comprising:
-
a detector for detecting a subject in a predetermined area; a projector for projecting at least one communication at least proximate to the location on a surface corresponding to the position of the detected subject in the predetermined area; and a control unit in electronic communication with the detector and the projector, the control unit configured for; assigning a first position to a subject detected at a first time; assigning a second position to the subject detected at a second time, subsequent to the first time, and obtaining a representation of the subject at the second time; determining a subject area for a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject at the second time; determining the direction of travel of the subject based on the first position and the second position, and the location of the second position within the predetermined area; and
,causing at least one communication to be provided at least proximate to the subject area on the surface based on the direction of travel of the subject within the predetermined area. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

-
assigning a first position where a subject was detected at the first time; assigning a second position where a subject was detected at a second time, subsequent to the first time; obtaining a representation of the subject at the second time from data corresponding to the detected subject; determining a subject area for a surface corresponding to the representation of the subject; determining the direction of travel of the subject based on the first position and the second position and the location of the second position within the predetermined area; and
,providing at least one communication to be delivered at least proximate to the subject area on the surface based on the direction of travel of the subject. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
