Abstract

A method and apparatus may capture a video of a crowd of people near a first person, transmit the video of the crowd to a second device, and receive, from the second device, an indication that a second person in the crowd appears to be at least one of (a) interested in meeting the first person, and (b) a threat to the first person. A display on the frame may display the received indication to the first person.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a frame configured to be worn on a first person's head;

a camera on the frame configured to capture a video of a crowd of people near the first person;

a transceiver on the frame configured to (a) transmit the video of the crowd to a second device, and (b) receive, from the second device, an indication that a second person in the crowd appears to be at least one of (a) interested in meeting the first person, and (b) a threat to the first person, wherein the indication indicates a sick person in the crowd and an object that they touch; and

a display on the frame configured to display the received indication to the first person.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises at least one of a word, an image, a second video, a halo around the second person, a glowing outline, an icon, a flashing light, and a symbol.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a recommendation for the first person on how to interact with the second person based on the indication, wherein the recommendation comprises at least one of an audible sound, an image, a video, a symbol, and text.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising additional cameras on sides of the frames configured to capture videos of people on the sides of the first person.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive information related to a game, and the display is configured to display the information to the first person, wherein the information comprises at least one of a word, an image, a video, a halo around the second person, a glowing outline, an icon, a flashing light, and a symbol.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a user interface configured to allow the first person to select a mode from a plurality of modes, each mode being associated with a type of information that the first person wishes to see on the display, wherein the modes comprise at least two of a help mode, a warning mode, and a sales mode, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a recommendation, based on a mode selected by the first person, for the first person to interact with the second person.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises a warning to the first person that the second person appears to be at least one of (a) carrying a weapon and (b) reaching for a weapon.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is configured to further receive additional health conditions of the second person.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to sense a condition, the condition comprising at least one of temperature, humidity, particles in the air, sounds of the second person, a temperature of the second person, perspiration of the second person, and speed of movement of the second person.

10. A method comprising:

capturing, with a camera on a frame worn on a head of a first person, a video of a crowd of people near the first person;

transmitting, from a transceiver on the frame, the video of the crowd to a second device,

receiving, at the transceiver from the second device, an indication that a second person in the crowd appears to be at least one of (a) interested in meeting the first person, and (b) a threat to the first person, wherein the indication indicates a sick person in the crowd and an object that they touch; and

displaying, with a display on the frame, the received indication to the first person.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the indication comprises at least one of a word, an image, a second video, a halo around the second person, a glowing outline, an icon, a flashing light, and a symbol.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving, at the transceiver, a recommendation for the first person on how to interact with the second person based on the indication, wherein the recommendation comprises at least one of audible instructions and visual instructions.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising capturing, with additional cameras on the side of the frames, videos of people on the sides of the first person.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising allowing the first person to select a mode from a plurality of modes, each mode being associated with a type of information that the first person wishes to see on the display, wherein the modes comprise at least two of a help mode, a warning mode, and a sales mode, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a recommendation, based on a mode selected by the first person, for the first person to interact with the second person.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the indication comprises a warning to the first person that the second person appears to be at least one of (a) carrying a weapon and (b) reaching for a weapon.

16. An apparatus comprising:

a first transceiver configured to receive, from a second transceiver on a frame worn on a head of a first person, a video of a crowd of people near the first person;

a processor configured to analyze the crowd to determine a second person in the crowd who appears to be at least one of (a) interested in meeting the first person, and (b) a threat to the first person, wherein the processor is configured to recognize a sick person in the crowd and an object that they touch; and

wherein the first transceiver is configured to transmit an indication of the second person who appears to be at least one of (a) interested in meeting the first person, and (b) a threat to the first person to the second transceiver to inform the first person.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize a behavior of the second person comprising at least one of eyes opened wide, rapid hand motions, a hand of a person person checking a pocket, a hand of a person behind the person's back, and a hand reaching for a weapon.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first transceiver is configured to transmit a recommendation to the first person on how to interact with the second person based on the indication, wherein the recommendation comprises at least one of an audible sound, an image, a video, a symbol, and text.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processor is configured to recognize a weapon on the second person.
