Abstract

A method that allows customers to connect remotely with customer service representatives by continuously monitoring the customers with cameras. Images from the cameras are sent to a computerized system that employs image processing techniques to determine when assistance is sought by a customer. When the customer is deemed in need of such assistance, a video phone call is initiated between the customer and a customer service representative.
