Conditional delivery of content over a communication network including social sharing and video conference applications using facial recognition

Abstract

A system and method are provided for conditional delivery of electronic content such as images or video stream content over a communication network. In some embodiments, a condition for receiving such content is determined, for example a verification of a biometric fact as a face recognition or a finger print. The content will then be delivered conditioned on the satisfaction of the condition. In some embodiments, facial detection technology is used continually while sent content is being displayed to ensure that content is being viewed solely by the intended recipient. In some embodiments, the recipient's reaction to sent content is recorded on video and sent to the sender as a condition of viewing the sent content. In some embodiments, two or more users interact with one another in real time in a secure video conference.
