How does the application work?
The registration process:
Each user who is registering into the system films
his face from several angles, using his personal smart phone camera, and the
application transfers the pictures to the system, wcich
is situated on a virtual cloud. By use of the filmed pictures, the system
constructs a 3D model of the user's face. This 3D model will be used by the
system for precise identification of the user's face.
Pictures of the user's face are formed by way of
the 3D model, and a signature of the user's face is formed by each picture.
The identification process:
An individual who desires to identify another
individual activates the application. The application uses the smart phone
camera, and photographs the person nearby. An individual may be photographed at
an oblique angle of 30 degrees. The application transfers the pictures which
were photographed to the system. The system then chooses the best pictures, and
designates them as a signature. The system goes on to compare previously saved
signatures with those which have been compiled by the new pictures.
Advantages of the system:
There are two major advantages to this system. The
first advantage consists of the fact that the actual identification is
performed by way of an application which may be downloaded and used in any
smart phone. In other words, the end user does not need a complex system or a
special camera in order to perform an identification of a person nearby.
A second advantage, and a significant one, is that
the application is capable of identifying an individual from various angles.
This advantage actually enables the end user to indentify people nearby, and
thus overcoming objective obstacles, such as the fear of rejection or
bashfulness, also avoiding the need to mingle at professional conventions.
Uses of the application:
As is well known, the end user at conventions or
exhibitions, that is, the buyer, the displayer or any other professional, desires
to find the people who are relevant to his business as quickly as possible.
Thus, the bearer's name badge is not sufficient in order to determine whether
the individual in front of you has relevancy to you. Similarly, asking an
individual to pose for a frontal photograph is not an ideal move.
Therefore, a central use of this application would
be at professional conventions and exhibitions, wherein professional and
business persons in a wide range of fields participate in order to establish
business and professional relationships. The end users use of this application
would significantly increase the relevant and essential ties between relevant
participants and himself.
The application actually provides a solution from
two directions. Firstly, a person desiring to identify someone knows who's
standing in front of him, and thus he knows whether it is relevant to initiate
a conversation with him. Secondly, the person being identified may enter a
summary concerning himself in the application page,
and may also state in which areas he is interested in participating.
Another central use is in various cruises, wherein
the application may be used in the following ways: first, when the ship harbors
in a port, and when the participants want to re-board the vessel after spending
time on shore, the ship's crew needs to identify the persons who are boarding
in the safest and quickest fashion, with a minimum use of human resources.
Secondly, with cruises which are geared to meeting people, the crew is
interested in creating as many interpersonal interactions as possible. Thus,
sending a message with visual identification via the application would be the
optimal solution.
An additional central use is in security
organizations, where suspects must be identified in security passages, or even
in crowds. The simplicity of operation of the system, with its availability on
any smart phone, enables any security officer to identify suspects immediately.
In this way, security organizations need not invest fortunes in sophisticated
systems which must be provided to each officer in order to cover maximum areas.
The application may also be used in dating get-togethers,
held in various coffee shops or clubs.
Potential Customers:

affairs, professional conventions and exhibitions.

get-togethers.
