Abstract

A system for processing visual information and a method thereof. Exemplary embodiments provides to a terminal event information searched through space recognition by a processing server for long-term storing image information input through the terminal so as to match and output event information with the input image information and recognize events that are an object of interest in the input image information or the long-term stored the image information and provide the related information so as to learn interest characteristics of a user and store the interest characteristics in the database, thereby providing user-based information. In addition, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention long-term stores the visual information by processing the visual information through the processing server so as to be used as a black box and can be used for applications requiring various artificial intelligence functions such as a disabled sensory supporting system, a robot, or the like.

Claims

1. A system for processing visual information, comprising:

a camera device receiving image information; and

a terminal short-term storing the image information input from the camera device, transmitting the input image information to a processor server for long-term storing, and receiving event information from the processing server so as to match and output the event information with the image information.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the terminal further includes the GPS receiving module.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processing server detects, recognizes, and searches events from the image information transmitted from the terminal and then, transmits the found event information to the terminal, and long-term stores and manages the event information and the transmitted image information in the database.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the processing server is connected to Internet for searching the events.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the event information includes the image information associated with the events and long-term stored in the database.

6. A method for processing visual information, comprising:

performing space recognition on image information input from a camera device and short-term storing the input image information in a terminal;

compressing and encoding the short-term stored image information and transmitting the compressed and encoded image information to a processing server; and

matching and outputting event information received from the processing server with the input image information.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising setting target events before the image information is input from the camera device.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

short-term storing the event information received from the processing server; and

searching the short-term stored event information when the event information is not received from the processing server to match and output the event information with the input image information.

9. A method for processing visual information, comprising:

recovering and decoding image information transmitted from a terminal to perform space recognition;

detecting and recognizing target events from the spatially recognized image information;

transmitting event information found by searching a database to the terminal when the target events are detected and recognized; and

long-term storing the found event information in the database, along with the transmitted image information and managing the found event information as interest events.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising detecting and recognizing the interest event to transmit the event information found by searching the database to the terminal, when the target events are not set at the step of detecting and recognizing of the target events.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising searching the target events based on web information when the target events are not found by searching the database.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the event information includes the image information that is associated with the target event and the interest event and long-term stored in the database.
