Face recognition-based convergence communicator with internet telephony

Abstract

Nowadays convergence of digital appliances meet both economic and practical demands of users. And current UI of the appliances not only provides interesting to users but also enhances convenience and accessibility. In this paper, we propose FRETEL (Face Recognition-Based Convergence Communicator with Internet Telephony) that is a new digital home appliance that satisfies these requirements properly. Therefore, we have designed simple and interesting UI using touch screen and face recognition. And convergence with Internet telephone that is spread rapidly today improves usefulness. © 2010 IEEE.
