Abstract:
Various arrangements for detecting items in home are presented. Imaging devices may capture images of a user's home. The images may be analyzed and compared against a user approved list of item definitions. Using the definitions, items, brands, trademarks, and the like may be identified in the images. The items identified in the images may be used to determine preferences of a user and provide targeted marketing content using the television receiver. In some cases, analysis of items in a home may be used to determine the effectiveness of marketing content by determining causality or correlations between marketing content viewed by a user and items in the home.
