Abstract
A method and device relate to prioritizing content items stored on a device and, more particularly, relate to automatically ordering highest priority content items stored on a device according to multiple criteria. The method and device enabling presentation, on a display of the device, the high priority content items in order of their total priority.
Claims16
A method for automatically ordering high priority content items stored on a smartphone device, comprising:
- identifying with a smartphone processor two or more content items locally stored on a smartphone device, wherein the content items are photographs captured by a camera implemented by the smartphone device;
- determining with the smartphone processor a first priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the first priority metric being a number of times that a user of the smartphone device accesses each of the two or more content items;
- determining with the smartphone processor a second priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the second priority metric being different from the first priority metric;
- multiplying with the smartphone processor the first priority metric by a first weight to calculate a first priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- multiplying with the smartphone processor the second priority metric by a second weight to calculate a second priority score for each of the two or more content items, the second weight being different from the first weight;
- summing with the smartphone processor the first priority score and the second priority score to calculate a total priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- comparing with the smartphone processor the total priority score for each of the two or more content items to a predetermined threshold to identify high priority content items within the two or more content items;
- generating a prioritized display presentation with the smartphone processor, for displaying on a display of the smartphone device, the high priority content items in order of their total priority scores;
- and
- displaying on the display of the smartphone device the high priority content items in order of their total priority scores based on the prioritized display presentation generated with the smartphone processor,
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric measuring an access characteristic of each of the two or more content items by the user of the smartphone device, a metric determined based on metadata included in each of the two or more content items, or a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- and
- wherein the analysis of each of the two or more content items is a number of faces in each content item, whether a person of interest is included in each content item, whether each content item is in focus, brightnesses of each content item, or a most frequent color of each content item.

A smartphone device comprising at least one smartphone processor connected to at least one memory, wherein the at least one smartphone processor is configured to:
- identify with the at least one smartphone processor two or more content items locally stored on a smartphone device, wherein the content items are photographs captured by a camera implemented by the smartphone device;
- determine with the at least one smartphone processor a first priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the first priority metric being a number of times that a user of the smartphone device accesses each of the two or more content items;
- determine with the at least one smartphone processor a second priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the second priority metric being different from the first priority metric;
- multiply with the at least one smartphone processor the first priority metric by a first weight to calculate a first priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- multiply with the at least one smartphone processor the second priority metric by a second weight to calculate a second priority score for each of the two or more content items, the second weight being different from the first weight;
- sum with the at least one smartphone processor the first priority score and the second priority score to calculate a total priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- compare with the at least one smartphone processor the total priority score for each of the two or more content items to a predetermined threshold to identify high priority content items within the two or more content items;
- generate a prioritized display with the at least one smartphone processor presentation, for display on a display of the smartphone device, the high priority content items in order of their total priority score;
- and
- display on the display of the smartphone device the high priority content items in order of their total priority scores based on the prioritized display presentation generated with the smartphone processor,
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric measuring an access characteristic of each of the two or more content items by the user of the smartphone device, a metric determined based on metadata included in each of the two or more content items, or a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- and
- wherein the analysis of each of the two or more content items is a number of faces in each content item, whether a person of interest is included in each content item, whether each content item is in focus, brightnesses of each content item, or a most frequent color of each content item.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, the computer program comprising one or more code segments that, when executed, cause at least one smartphone processor of a smartphone device to:
- identify with the at least one smartphone processor two or more content items locally stored on a smartphone device, wherein the content items are photographs captured by a camera implemented by the smartphone device;
- determine with the at least one smartphone processor a first priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the first priority metric being a number of times that a user of the smartphone device accesses each of the two or more content items;
- determine with the at least one smartphone processor a second priority metric for each of the two or more content items, the second priority metric being different from the first priority metric;
- multiply with the at least one smartphone processor the first priority metric by a first weight to calculate a first priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- multiply with the at least one smartphone processor the second priority metric by a second weight to calculate a second priority score for each of the two or more content items, the second weight being different from the first weight;
- sum with the at least one smartphone processor the first priority score and the second priority score to calculate a total priority score for each of the two or more content items;
- compare with the at least one smartphone processor the total priority score for each of the two or more content items to a predetermined threshold to identify high priority content items within the two or more content items;
- generate a prioritized display with the at least one smartphone processor presentation, for display on a display of the smartphone device, of the high priority content items in order of their total priority score;
- and
- display on the display of the smartphone device the high priority content items in order of their total priority scores based on the prioritized display presentation generated with the smartphone processor,
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric measuring an access characteristic of each of the two or more content items by the user of the smartphone device, a metric determined based on metadata included in each of the two or more content items, or a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- wherein the second priority metric is a metric determined based on analysis of data of each of the two or more content items;
- and
- wherein the analysis of each of the two or more content items is a number of faces in each content item, whether a person of interest is included in each content item, whether each content item is in focus, brightnesses of each content item, or a most frequent color of each content item.
