MOVIE GENERATING DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME

Smart overview of the Invention

The invention describes a sophisticated digital picture frame that integrates a camera, microphone, and speaker, along with a network connection module. This setup allows the frame to automatically route and display photos from mobile devices or community photo collections. The frame uses content clustering to enhance the display experience and can detect trends or patterns in photo collections for purposes beyond simple photo viewing. Additionally, it features conversational intelligence that interacts with viewers to determine identities, preferences, and appropriate photo displays.

Functionality

Unlike existing digital frames that require manual synchronization with social media platforms, this invention offers automatic detection of viewers and their devices. It retrieves relevant photos or videos from viewers' devices or social media accounts, as well as from community members' collections. This automated approach ensures that the displayed content is always current and personalized for the viewer, enhancing the overall user experience.

Photo Routing

The system includes methods for displaying photos on electronic devices via network connections. Photos are automatically obtained from a source device, identified by content, and routed to target devices based on predefined content constraints. This process allows photos to be shared among community members' devices when content matches specific criteria. The system also supports image processing techniques like enhancement and filtering to optimize photo presentation.

Viewer Interaction

The digital frame can identify viewers through its camera and adapt the displayed photos based on viewer profiles. These profiles are automatically learned and updated using metadata from viewers' devices or social media accounts. The frame can create dynamic slideshows by sequencing photos according to parameters like time, location, or activity, ensuring a personalized viewing experience.

Advanced Features

The device supports multiple simultaneous viewers and adjusts displayed content accordingly. It includes features like self-positioning, adaptive lighting adjustments based on viewing conditions, and face recognition for personalized photo targeting. Additionally, it offers storytelling capabilities by grouping photos into chronological stories or thematic clusters based on various profiling traits, providing an engaging narrative experience.
