Abstract

An identification module receives an identification signal that uniquely identifies an individual and captures an image of the individual. The identification module determines tag information associated with the individual using the received identification signal and displays, to a user, the tag information overlayed on the image of the individual.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
capturing an image of a body;
receiving a unique identification signal comprising a unique identifier to identify an individual associated with the body in the captured image;
determining, by a processing device of a user device and from a tag information repository, tag information associated with the individual by accessing an entry in the tag information repository indexed by the unique identifier from the unique identification signal;
determining, by the user device, a position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal by triangulating a source of the unique identification signal;
correlating the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal with a position of the body in the captured image, the correlating to associate the body in the captured image with the individual associated with the unique identification signal in view of a confidence score associated with a first distance between the body in the captured image and the source of the unique identification signal;
determining a second distance from the user device to the unique identification signal associated with the individual in view of an intensity of the unique identification signal;
displaying the tag information overlayed on the image of the body; and
displaying the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification signal is received from a transmitter carried by the individual associated with the body in the captured image.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image comprises a live image of the body.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining the position of the body in view of the captured image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the tag information overlayed on the image of the body comprises updating the tag information in real-time.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the tag information overlayed on the image of the body comprises displaying a user selectable icon adjacent to the body in the image.

7. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
capture an image of a body;
receive a unique identification signal comprising a unique identifier to identify an individual associated with the body in the captured image;
determine, by a user device from a tag information repository, tag information associated with the individual by accessing an entry in the tag information repository indexed by the unique identifier from the unique identification signal;
determine a position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal that identifies the individual by triangulating a source of the unique identification signal;
correlate the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal with a position of the body in the captured image, the correlating to associate the body in the captured image with the individual associated with the unique identification signal in view of confidence score associated with a first distance between the body in the captured image and the source of the unique identification signal;
determine a second distance from the user device to the unique identification signal associated with the individual in view of an intensity of the unique identification signal;
display the tag information overlayed on the image of the body; and
display the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal that identifies the individual.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the identification signal is received from a transmitter carried by the individual associated with the body in the captured image.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the image comprises a live image of the body.

10. The system of claim 7 , the processing device further to:
determine the position of the body in view of the captured image.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein to display the tag information, the processing device is to update the tag information in real-time.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein to display the tag information, the processing device is to display a user selectable icon adjacent to the body in the image.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to:
capture an image of a body;
receive a unique identification signal comprising a unique identifier to identify an individual associated with the body in the captured image;
determine, by the processing device of a user device and from a tag information repository, tag information associated with the individual by accessing an entry in the tag information repository indexed by the unique identifier from the unique identification signal;
determine a position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal by triangulating a source of the unique identification signal;
correlate the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal with a position of the body in the captured image, the correlating to associate the body in the captured image with the individual associated with the unique identification signal in view of a confidence score associated with a first distance between the body in the captured image and the source of the unique identification signal;
determine a second distance from the user device to the unique identification signal associated with the individual in view of an intensity of the unique identification signal;
display the tag information overlayed on the image of the body; and
display the position of the individual associated with the unique identification signal.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the identification signal is received from a transmitter carried by the individual.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the image comprises a live image of the body.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , the processing device further to:
determine the position of the body in view of the captured image.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein to display the tag information overlayed on the image of the body the instructions to cause the processing device to update the tag information in real-time.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein to display the tag information overlayed on the image of the body the instructions to cause the processing device to display a user selectable icon adjacent to the body in the image.
