Aggregating tags in images

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• render, by the client system, an image comprising a plurality of tags, wherein each tag is associated with a particular location within the image and comprising a name string corresponding to the tag, and wherein at least two tags of the plurality of tags within a threshold distance of each other are aggregated into an aggregated tag, wherein the aggregated tag comprises at least one name string corresponding to one of the plurality of tags and a counter of the name strings corresponding to the other tags aggregated into the aggregated tag;
• detect, by the client system, an action of the first user changing a zoom level for the image;
• responsive to the first user changing a zoom level for the image, calculate for each tag the distance of the location of the tag from the location of every other tag of the image;
• and
• if the change in zoom level is zooming in, update the aggregated tag based on the calculated distance of the locations of the tags to each other, wherein the updated aggregated tag is aggregated with at least one fewer tag of the plurality of tags, and wherein the counter is correspondingly decremented by at least one;
• and
• if the change in zoom level is zooming out, update the aggregated tag based on the calculated distance of the locations of the tags to each other, wherein the updated aggregated tag is aggregated with at least one more tag of the plurality of tags, and wherein the counter is correspondingly incremented by at least one.

A client system of a first user comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• render, by the client system, an image comprising a plurality of tags, wherein each tag is associated with a particular location within the image and comprising a name string corresponding to the tag, and wherein at least two tags of the plurality of tags within a threshold distance of each other are aggregated into an aggregated tag, wherein the aggregated tag comprises at least one name string corresponding to one of the plurality of tags and a counter of the name strings corresponding to the other tags aggregated into the aggregated tag;
• detect, by the client system, an action of the first user changing a zoom level for the image;
• responsive to the first user changing a zoom level for the image, calculate for each tag the distance of the location of the tag from the location of every other tag of the image;
• and
• if the change in zoom level is zooming in, update the aggregated tag based on the calculated distance of the locations of the tags to each other, wherein the updated aggregated tag is aggregated with at least one fewer tag of the plurality of tags, and wherein the counter is correspondingly decremented by at least one;
• and
• if the change in zoom level is zooming out, update the aggregated tag based on the calculated distance of the locations of the tags to each other, wherein the updated aggregated tag is aggregated with at least one more tag of the plurality of tags, and wherein the counter is correspondingly incremented by at least one.
