摘要： A face recognition system is provided, which is incorporated as part of traditionally worn items, so as to allow for face recognition assistance without being obvious to the person whose face is being recognized. The face recognition system includes a viewfinder, which has an image capture module and a display module, and includes a user actuatable selector. The face recognition system further includes a data storage element, which includes a data structure, having one or more images of faces of people, and associated identification information. The face recognition system still further includes a controller, where the controller is communicatively coupled to the viewfinder, the user actuatable selector, and the data storage element. The controller includes a pattern matching module, wherein when the user actuatable selector is activated the pattern matching module of the controller is adapted for comparing an image being currently captured by the image capture module with the one or more images of faces in the data structure, and wherein when the pattern matching module detects a match, the controller is adapted to retrieve the identification information associated with the matched image, and convey the identification information to the user.
