RECOGNITION ASSISTANT

Abstract:

A method provides for assistance in recognition of an entity. A set of data and associated information corresponding to a plurality of entities known to an assisted user is received, such that an instance of the set of data and associated information includes identification of a respective entity of the plurality of entities known to an assisted user. Real-time data corresponding to a first entity is received from one or more devices capturing the real-time data. The real-time data is compared to the set of data and associated information corresponding to the plurality of entities known to the user to determine whether the first entity has a known relevance to the user, and in response to determining the first entity does have a known relevance to the user, the processor provides the identity and relevance of the first entity to the user.
