US Patent 10318145 Smart mirror

An image storing and display system that is combined with a conventional mirror to create a “smart mirror.” A one-way reflective surface is provided over the top of an interactive display. A person in front of the reflective surface can see a normal reflection as would be provided by a conventional mirror. The person can also see images created by the interactive video display that are transmitted through the one-way reflective surface. A camera provided as part of the smart mirror can be used to record digital images that are stored for later recall. The recalled images can then be displayed on the interactive display. A computer is used to drive the interactive display. The display preferably includes touch-based interaction.
