Abstract
The apparatus may be connected to a display device having a facial recognition camera and associated software. When no one is adjacent to the device it plays a general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop. When a person is in the field of view, the camera and apparatus analyses each frame for a gender or age match. Once detected and determined the apparatus then delivers a targeted sequence of images and/or information relevant to sex demography of the person(s) with or without sound to a display device. Once finished showing that sequence, the apparatus reverts back to showing the general sequence of images etc until the next member of the public is recognised and the whole process is repeated.
Description
Intelligent Point of Sale Apparatus This invention relates to an apparatus to replace the static window, wall or indoor wall poster.
When walking down a high street, around a retail store or shopping mall, you see a static poster showing information with or without images hoping to engage and connect with people as they walk by.
However, most of the time static posters do not engage or connect with the public because they are not appropriate to that person because of gender or age.
To overcome this, our invention proposes to target this information to the public looking at the gender and/or age of the public as they walk by our apparatus, then delivering a sequence of images and or information with or without audio that is relevant to that persons gender and age.
Upon start-up our apparatus plays a general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop. As soon a member of the public is detected by our facial recognition camera. Our apparatus determines the gender and age of that person and then delivers a targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound. Once finished showing targeted sequence, the apparatus reverts back to the general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop until the next member of the public is recognised and the whole process is repeated.
Our apparatus can be built in to, mounted or attached to another device, such as a point of sale device. Our apparatus can be fitted to a point of sale device, retail windows or mounted to or separate from a monitor, display device or projector, which is wall, window or shelf mounted.
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and will reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-Figure 1. Shows the apparatus fitted internally to a point of sale, floor standing device.
Figure 2. Shows the apparatus fitted to a retail store window.
Figure 3. Shows the apparatus on a monitor/television or display device which is fitted to a wall.
Figure 4. Shows the apparatus on a monitor/television or display device which is fitted to a shelf Figure 5. Shows our apparatus fitted to a retail window using a projector and projection film.
Figure 1, Shows a free standing point of sale device 1 from the front and from the back 2, with our apparatus 5 fitted internally to the point of sale device 1 from the back 2. The facial recognition camera 3 is internally fitted to device 1 from the back 4. Our internally fitted apparatus control box 5 links to the facial recognition camera 3 from the back 4 and also links to the display device 6 from the back 7. Audio is sent through a display device speaker if used.
As a person 8 walks towards the point of sale device 1 our apparatus 5 is displaying on the display device 6 a general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop. The facial recognition camera 3 and our apparatus 5 is analysing a sequence of image frames while looking for a facial match. Our apparatus 5 analysis's each and every frame from the facial recognition camera 3 to make a gender and / or age match.
If no match is made our apparatus 5 continues to show the general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop.
As the person 8 approaches the display device 1 and comes within facial recognition camera 3 or 5 field of view, the apparatus 5 analysis's the person facial and head features and cross references them with a database of gender and/or age facial reference points images to determine gender and /or age match.
Once there is a match, the apparatus Swill then show the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender and / or age group on the display device 6. For example if the apparatus S has determined that is a male person, our apparatus 5 will display a male targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender group on the display device 6. Another example, if our apparatus 5 has determined that it's a female and is aged between 41-50 it will show the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender and age group on the display device 6.
After the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound has finished being shown our apparatus 5 reverts back to showing the general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound continuous loop on the display device 6 until the next person is detected.
Our apparatus 5 and facial recognition camera 3 can also be fitted externally and or separate from the display device 1. The apparatus and facial recognition camera is powered by a mains power unit and or battery.
Figure 2, Shows a retail shopping window front 1. Our apparatus 2 is fitted behind the window out of sight of the public. The facial recognition camera 3 is fitted to a display device 4.
Alternatively the facial recognition camera 3 can be separated away from the display device 4 and is shown here as 5. Our apparatus control box 2 links to the facial recognition camera 3 015 and also links to the display device 4. Audio is sent through a display device speaker if used.
As a person 6 walks towards the display device 4 our apparatus 2 is displaying on the display device 4 a general sequence of images andlor information with or without sound on a continuous loop. The facial recognition camera 3 or5 and our apparatus 2 is analysing a sequence of image frames while looking for a facial match. Our apparatus 2 analysis's each and every frame from the facial recognition camera 3 or 5 to make a gender and / or age match. If no match is made our apparatus 2 continues to show the general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound on a continuous loop.

Once there is a match, the apparatus 2 will then show the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender and / or age group on the display device 4. For example if the apparatus 2 has determined that is a male person, our apparatus 2 will display a male targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender group on the display device 4. Another example, if our apparatus 2 has determined that it's a female and is aged between 41-50 it will show the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound for that gender and age group on the display device 4.
After the targeted sequence of images and/or information with or without sound has finished being shown our apparatus 2 reverts back to showing the general sequence of images and/or information with or without sound continuous loop on the display device 4 until the next person is detected.
