Abstract

A system, device, and method for collecting user information. An image and metadata associated with the image are captured utilizing a wireless device. The image and the metadata are associated with a device incapable of communication. User information associated with the device is determined. The user information is characterized in context of historical data. The user information is distributed from the wireless device to one or more devices associated with the user information.

Claims (33)

1. A method for user information collection comprising:

capturing an image and metadata associated with the image utilizing a wireless device, the image and the metadata are associated with a device incapable of communication with an external device;

automatically determining user information associated with at least the image and metadata;

characterizing the user information in context of historical data for at least the user and other similar users;

distributing the user information from the wireless device to one or more devices associated with the user information; and

automatically adjusting a health regiment of the user in response to the user information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the user utilizing the image, the metadata, or one or more biometrics captured by the wireless device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the similar users are a same gender and ethnicity and similar weight as the user.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

archiving the user information for utilization as a portion of the historical data by the other similar users.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein identifying information associated with the user is removed before utilization as the portion of the historical data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the historical data is archived in a secure database.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes at least a time the image is captured and a location associated with the device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

automatically performing outcome analysis utilizing the user information and the historical data associated with the user information, and wherein the user is encouraged to adjust one or more of exercise, diet, and medicine based on the outcome analysis.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

automatically processing the image and metadata utilizing the wireless device to determine the user information associated with the device; and

communicating recommendations to the user in response to the outcome analysis.

10. A wireless device for user information collection, comprising:

one or more cameras configured to capture an image and metadata associated with the image, the image and the metadata are associated with a device incapable of communication with an external device;

one or more processors configured to automatically process the image and the metadata associated with the image to determine user information, and characterize the user information in context of historical data for at least the user and other similar users; and

one or more transceivers configured to automatically distribute the user information from the wireless device to one or more devices associated with the user information.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the user information includes at least age, weight, and condition of the user.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the processor further identifies the user utilizing one or more biometrics measured from the user, the image, or the metadata.

13. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more transceivers send an adjustment for a health regiment of the user in response to the user information.

14. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the transceiver communicates the user information to a server in communication with the wireless device, and wherein the server archives the user information for utilization as a portion of the historical data by the other similar users.

15. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors automatically perform outcome analysis utilizing the user information and the historical data associated with the user information, and wherein the user is encouraged to adjust one or more of exercise, diet, and medicine based on the outcome analysis.

16. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the similar users are a same gender and ethnicity and similar weight as the user.

17. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the metadata includes at least a time the image is captured and a location associated with the device.

18. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors perform at least machine face recognition.

19. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors automatically process the image and metadata utilizing the wireless device to determine the user information associated with the device.

20. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors identify the user utilizing the image, the metadata, or one or more biometrics captured by the wireless device.
