SECURITY-MONITORING IMPLEMENTING CUSTOMER RECOGNITION VIA AN AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring security at a business location implementing customer recognition and identification of established customers within a business location, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more security-monitoring apparatus including a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, an image-capturing device in communication with the processor and a display in communication with the processor and configured to display a live video stream captured by the image-capturing device; and
a customer recognition and identification module stored in the memory, executable by the processor and configured to;
receive, from the image-capturing device, the live video stream of the business location occupied by one of more individualsdetermine which of the individuals within the live video stream are established customers of the business, andpresent, within the display, one or more customer identifiers within the live video stream, wherein each of the identifiers attaches to a corresponding established customer and follows the corresponding established customer as they move within the live video stream.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for security-monitoring at a place of business by automatically determining which individuals within a business location, such as a retail store, banking center or the like, are established customers of the business. Such a determination of established customer status is conducted without requiring any action on behalf of the individuals/customers and may be accomplished proximate in time to the individuals arriving at the business location. Once the established customers have been determined, the present invention provides for attaching customer identifiers to the established customers appearing within a live video stream displayed by the security-monitoring system to thereby create an augmented reality environment within the display.
