Recognition system for sharing information
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for sharing information between users, comprising:
- receiving a first image captured by a first capture device, the first image including a first user, the first user having an associated first processing device;
identifying the first user and a first gesture performed by the first user from the first image;
receiving a second image captured by a second capture device, the second image including a second user, the second user having an associated second processing device;
identifying the second user and a second gesture performed by the second user from the second image;
determining whether the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device;
transferring information from the first processing device to the second processing device based at least in part on determining that the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device.

Abstract
A system and method for sharing information between users based on recognition of the users and their associated processing devices in a scene. Interactions can be physical, verbal or a combination of physical and verbal gestures. Movements of the user and other users are tracked and interactions detected between them. User processing devices are connected by detecting users within view of a capture device, the capture device detecting motion tracking data for the user, such as a skeletal model. Information sharing may be controlled by the processing devices directly, by an intermediary server, or by a combination of the processing device and an intermediary server.

10. A processing device, comprising:
-
a computer memory for storing data; a network interface for sending and receiving data; and a processor configured to; receive a first image captured by a first capture device, the first image including a first user, the first user having an associated first processing device; identify the first user and a first gesture performed by the first user from the first image; receive a second image captured by a second capture device, the second image including a second user, the second user having an associated second processing device; identify the second user and a second gesture performed by the second user from the second image; determine whether the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device; transfer information from the first processing device to the second processing device based at least in part on determining that the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer readable storage device for providing instructions to a processor to perform a method of sharing information between users, the method comprising:
- receiving a first image captured by a first capture device, the first image including a first user, the first user having an associated first processing device;
identifying the first user and a first gesture performed by the first user from the first image;
receiving a second image captured by a second capture device, the second image including a second user, the second user having an associated second processing device;
identifying the second user and a second gesture performed by the second user from the second image;
determining whether the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device;
transferring information from the first processing device to the second processing device based at least in part on determining that the first and second gestures are predefined gestures for initiating information transfer from the first processing device to the second processing device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
