A face-based signage interacting system for mobile users using smartphones

In this paper, we design and implement a face-based signage interacting system, called AdYou, for mobile users using smartphones. By using the AdYou system, mobile users only need to drag the service icon on the face of a particular target in a digital signage. AdYou is able to provide diverse services to mobile users through face detection and recognition techniques. Using the intuitive way of gesture-based operations, mobile users can directly interact with digital signage. We further integrate the AdYou server with a face cache mechanism that can make the system response time as small as possible for popular signage. AdYou reveals an innovative user interface for signage interacting between mobile users and digital signage. We have implemented an Android-based AdYou system that can be interacted by mobile users as fast as possible.
