During interactions, that person's identity is displayed on the screen of the user's portable device, and is also transmitted to a wireless hearing aid inserted into the ear of the user.

Lot 021 - Locating and Positioning Technology

This portfolio discloses a portable device that uses stored images to locate misplaced objects. To start, various images of different objects are captured and stored in a database. The stored images as well as the user's current position are used to identify the location of the object and update the database accordingly.
