15. A computer program stored on a non-volatile computer readable storage medium, the computer program causing a general purpose computer to perform the steps of:
capturing one or more images of a user by an image capture device;
confirming the position of the face of the user within the captured image by measuring a size of the face;
setting a predetermined portion of the face of the user to be a region of interest;
confirming an open mouth of the user within the region of interest; and
classifying the open mouth of the user as one of a mouth with a pill therein and a mouth without a pill therein.
16. The computer program of claim 15, further comprising the step of guiding the user to properly position their mouth, if it is determined that the proper positioning of the open mouth of the user within the region of interest cannot be confirmed.
17. The computer program of claim 16, wherein the step of confirming proper positioning of the open mouth of the user within the region of interest is performed in accordance with measuring the size of the mouth of the user.
18. The computer program of claim 15, further comprising the step of guiding the user to properly position their face, if it is determined that the proper positioning of the face of the user cannot be confirmed.
19. The computer program of claim 15, further comprising the step of tracking the pill in the mouth of the user.
20. The computer program of claim 19, further comprising the step of identifying the tracked pill in the mouth of the user.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
