Abstract
Method for a wearable device worn by a first user to generate or retrieve a personal contact record when encountering a second user is disclosed. The method of generating the personal contact record includes capturing a facial photograph of the second user and generating a face information; capturing a card photograph of a business card and performing OCR to obtain a card information; retrieving time and location information to obtain an encounter information; and generating the personal contact information. The method of retrieving the personal contact record includes capturing a facial photograph of the second user; searching through a contact database comprising facial images associated with identities of persons, and attempting to match the captured facial photograph with one of the facial images in the contact database to determine the identity of the second user, and providing messages. Wearable devices for performing the above methods are also disclosed.
