Description

Portable face recognition device

The present invention relates to a portable face recognition device, and more particularly to a portable face recognition device capable of effectively prompting a user to see the name of a person.

In modern society, interpersonal interactions are frequent and frequent, and daily life often needs to interact with different people. For example, businessmen need to participate in various gatherings to reach people in different fields. However, due to the large number of contacts and the short contact time, it is often the case that the names of different people cannot be remembered. That is to say, a person can not immediately name his name, or even the name of another person misunderstood in his mind, causing the dilemma of interpersonal contact.

Glasses are a very common type of corrective vision tool. Generally, the lens is embedded in the frame for the wearer to wear the lens lens in front of the eye to improve vision, protect the eyes or use as a decoration. However, glasses with relatively high universality do not have the function of face recognition, and they are not used as devices for recognizing human faces. All of the above are technical issues still to be solved.

In view of various problems of the prior art, the inventors have proposed a portable face recognition device based on years of research and development and many practical experiences, as an implementation and basis for improving the above disadvantages.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable face recognition device that can effectively prompt the user to see the name of a person.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable face recognition device which increases mutual intimacy when in contact with a person.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable face recognition device that can be widely used in the lives of people.

According to the above object of the present invention, the present invention provides a portable face recognition device, including a detection unit, a face determination unit, a display unit, a transmission unit, and a database having face data and name data, face data and names. The data has a corresponding relationship with each other. Or a detection unit, a face judgment unit, a voice prompt unit, a transmission unit, and a database having face data and name data, and the face data and the name data have a correspondence relationship with each other.

The detecting unit first detects the image, and the detecting unit transmits the detected image to the face determining unit through the transmitting unit, and the face determining unit determines whether the face appears in the image detected by the detecting unit. When the face judgment unit determines that a face is present, the face is transmitted to the database by the transmission unit, and at the same time, the location where the face appears is transmitted to the display unit by the transmission unit, according to the received face. The database finds the corresponding face data and name data, and the found name data is transmitted to the display unit by the transmission unit, and the display unit marks the location where the face appears with a mark, and at the same time, the name is transmitted. The name data is displayed next to the mark. When the display unit indicates where the face appears by the mark, and the name of the transferred name is displayed next to the mark, the display unit selectively appears on the face. The detection area is displayed, and the detection unit selectively detects in the detection area. When the detection unit detects that a foreign object appears in the detection area, the database is further The names and personal information of the corresponding information, personal information is located by the transport and transmission unit to the display unit and is to be displayed. Or when the face judgment unit judges that a face appears, the face is transmitted to the database through the transmission unit, and the face information and the name data corresponding to the face are found in the database according to the received face, and are found. The name data is transmitted to the voice prompting unit by the transmission unit, and the voice prompting unit sends a voice prompt of the transmitted name data.

When the user sees a person, the face recognition device of the present invention can be used for face recognition, and the display unit of the portable face recognition device marks the location where the face appears, and simultaneously names the face. The data is displayed next to the marked mark; or the voice prompt unit sends a voice prompt for the name information. Accordingly, the present invention can effectively prompt the user to see the name of a person, even if the user does not remember the name of the person, seeing someone can immediately say their name, increasing the mutual contact Intimacy. In addition, the present invention can be used as an implementation form for glasses, and can be widely applied to people's lives.
