SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TRACKING AND MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A social intelligence, tracking and monitoring system comprising:
- a data processor;
a Wi-Fi module in communication with the data processor to transmit information from the data processor to the internet and to send information received from the internet to the data processor;
a camera controlled by the data processor for taking photographic images of visitors; and
a proximity detector for sensing the presence of a visitor, the proximity detector in communication with the data processor to actuate the camera to take a photographic image of the visitor when detection occurs;
the data processor downloading photographic images of persons of interest from a social networking site and then comparing the facial features in the downloaded photographic images to the facial features in the photographic image taken by the camera to determine if the visitor is recognized.

Abstract
A social intelligence, tracking and monitoring system includes a data processor, a Wi-Fi module to transmit and receive information over the internet, a camera, and a proximity detector for sensing the presence of a visitor, the proximity detector in communication with the data processor to actuate the camera to take a photographic image of the visitor. Photographic images of persons of interest are downloaded from a social networking site. The facial features in the downloaded photographic images are compared to the facial features in the photographic image taken by the camera to determine if the visitor is recognized. Upon recognition of the visitor by the system, a prerecorded message is played to the recognized visitor. Another prerecorded message is played inviting the visitor to leave a message. An infrared illuminator illuminates the visitor when the data processor determines that the ambient lighting is insufficient. Other applications for the system include doorbell usage types, tracking usage types, shop usage types, and monitoring usage types.
