Systems and methods for communication between a reactive video system and a mobile communication device
View Patent ↗Systems and methods are provided for communication between a reactive video engine and a mobile communication device. In a system according to one embodiment, a reactive video engine is coupled to a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to facilitate communication with the reactive video engine and a mobile communication device.
1. A system comprising:
a camera configured to capture video data of a space occupied by a user having a mobile communication device that is operable by the user;
a display configured to present an interactive image to the user; and
a processor configured to
determine an identity of the user based on information transmitted by the mobile communication device;
identify an image of at least a face of the user; and
update the interactive image on the display to include the face of the user on a user-controlled character.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user may complete a purchase of a product, the product represented in the interactive image.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive image comprises a barcode.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interactive image comprises objects recognizable to the mobile communication device.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the information transmitted by the mobile communication device is manually entered into the mobile communication device by the user.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to initiate communication with the mobile communication device.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user may choose to accept the communication.
8. A method comprising:
capturing video data corresponding to an interaction between a user of a mobile communication device and a virtual object generated by an interactive video computing system;
determining an identity of the user based on the video data or information transmitted by the mobile communication device;
identifying individualized content associated with the determined identity; and
presenting an interactive image on a display that is viewable by the user in accordance with the individualized content.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising completing a purchase of a product, the product represented in the interactive image.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interactive image comprises a barcode.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interactive image comprises objects recognizable to the mobile communication device, the mobile communication device including a camera.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein at least some of the information transmitted by the mobile communication device is manually entered into the mobile communication device by the user.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting information to the mobile communication device.
14. A hardware computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor of a computing system in order to cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
capturing video data including a space occupied by a user of a mobile communication device;
determining an identity of the user based on the video data or information transmitted by the mobile communication device;
identifying individualized content associated with the determined identity; and
presenting an interactive image that is customized at least partly based on the individualized content on a display.
15. The hardware computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise completing a purchase of a product, the product represented in the interactive image.
16. The hardware computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the interactive image comprises a barcode.
17. The hardware computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the interactive image comprises objects recognizable to the mobile communication device.
18. The hardware computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein at least some of the information transmitted by the mobile communication device is manually entered into the mobile communication device by the user.
19. The hardware computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting information to the mobile communication device.
20. The hardware computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the user may choose to accept the transmitted information.
