Methods and systems for user-association of visual stimuli with corresponding responses
Methods and systems permit a user to decide what different responses are triggered when different visual stimuli are presented to the user's wireless communications device.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first image frame of a first physical subject captured using a camera;
processing, using a computing device, image information corresponding to the first image frame to derive first identifying data therefrom;
storing, within a data structure coupled to the computing device, the derived first identifying data;
assigning, using the computing device, a behavior to be associated with the first physical subject, and storing data relating to the behavior within the data structure in association with the first identifying data;
receiving a second image frame of a second physical subject captured using the camera;
processing, using the computing device, image information corresponding to the second image frame to derive second identifying data therefrom; and
checking, using the computing device, the data structure for stored first identifying data corresponding to the second identifying data and if the stored first identifying data and the second identifying data match, then:
identifying a requested behavior associated with the corresponding first identifying data;
initiating the requested behavior; and
presenting an output from the requested behavior to a user of the device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the processing acts comprises applying a hashing algorithm.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing image information corresponding to the first image frame comprises applying a digital watermark decoding algorithm.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing image information corresponding to the first image frame comprises processing information within a wireless communications device associated with the camera to derive identifying data therefrom.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein storing comprises storing within a data structure within a wireless communications device associated with the camera.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first physical subject comprises at least a part of a human.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the behavior associated with the first physical subject comprises an operation corresponding to a particular physical aspect of the first physical subject.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first image frame of a first physical subject captured using a camera;
processing image information corresponding to the first image frame to derive first identifying data therefrom;
storing the derived first identifying data within a data structure;
assigning a behavior to be associated with the first physical subject, and storing data relating to the behavior within the data structure in association with the first identifying data;
receiving a second image frame of a second physical subject captured using the camera;
processing image information corresponding to the second image frame to derive a second identifying data therefrom; and
checking the data structure for stored first identifying data corresponding to the second identifying data and if the stored first identifying data and the second identifying data match, then:
identifying a requested behavior associated with the corresponding first identifying data;
initiating the requested behavior; and
presenting an output from the requested behavior to a user of the device.
9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein each of the processing image information comprises applying a hashing algorithm.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein processing image information corresponding to the first image frame comprises applying a digital watermark decoding algorithm.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein processing image information corresponding to the first image frame comprises processing image information within a wireless communications device associated with the camera to derive the identifying data therefrom.
12. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein storing comprises storing within a wireless communications device associated with the camera.
13. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first physical subject comprises at least a part of a human.
