Abstract

The present invention provides an improved system and method for automated photo/video capture and retrieval using RFID tags containing a unique person and/or group identifier number. The system allows automated capturing and indexing of individual or group photo/video images according to each unique person and/or group identifier. Tags are worn by each park patron during their visit to the park or other entertainment facility. Various readers distributed throughout the park or entertainment facility are able to read the RFID tags. Thus, the unique identifier numbers can be conveniently read and provided to an associated photo/video capture system for purposes of providing indexing of captured photo/video images according to the unique identifiers of all individuals standing within the field of view of the camera. Captured photo images can thus be selectively retrieved and organized into a convenient photo/video album to provide a photo record of a family's or group's adventures at the park or other entertainment facility. Unique picture storybooks can also be created using selected 'gag' or 'novelty' photo images taken throughout the facility and/or by using digital photo image processing to create a particular desired storybook. Thus, play participants themselves become actual characters in the storybook and participate in the storyline.
