METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING A CAMERA NETWORK
First Claim
1. A server comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising;
receiving location information from a mobile communication device;
determining a location of the mobile communication device based on the location information;
selecting a camera from a group of cameras at the location of the mobile communication device, wherein the group of cameras is associated with a user of the mobile communication device in accordance with a user subscription to a networked service;
receiving an image from the camera, wherein the image captures a portion of the location;
performing image recognition on the image to identify a product image present in the image;
modifying the product image in the image to generate a selectable product image;
transmitting the image to a media device for presentation at the media device;
receiving, from the media device, a selection of the selectable product image from the image being presented of the media device; and
transmitting a website link to the media device responsive to receiving the selection.
