Abstract
Devices and methods are described for presenting a graphical user interface on a display for the purpose of receiving inputs from a reference person indicating a subject affinity between the reference person and a subject. Images for presentation are determined by scoring images based on the subjects that appear in the images and the subject affinity scores for the subjects. In some embodiments, the subject affinity is sent from a display device to a server device and the server device scores the images and returns the designated images back to the display device for presentation. In some embodiments, the images are displayed sequentially on the display device. In some embodiments, the subject information is displayed with the images as they are presented on the display.
Claims22
A device comprising:
- a control system comprising a processor and a memory storing program codes for presenting a graphical user interface on a display, the control system operable to:
- receive subject information including a visual representation of an other subject appearing as a subject face in a plurality of images;
- effect presentation on the display of the subject information;
- effect presentation, in an area adjacent to the subject information, of a graphical control operable to receive input from a reference person reflecting a subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject;
- receive input reflecting the subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject from the reference person based on the control, the subject affinity defining a subject affinity score, the subject affinity score variable between a minimum value and a maximum value;
- receive image presentation information based on the subject affinity between the reference person;
- and
- effect presentation of the image presentation information on the display.

A device comprising:
- a control system comprising a processor and a memory storing program codes for presenting a graphical user interface on a display, the control system operable to:
- send, to a server device, information identifying a reference person;
- receive subject information including a visual representation of an other subject appearing as a subject face in a plurality of images;
- effect presentation on the display of the subject information;
- effect presentation, in an area adjacent to the subject information, of a graphical control operable to receive input from a reference person reflecting a subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject;
- receive input reflecting the subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject from the reference person based on the control;
- send, to the server device over a network, the subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject;
- receive image presentation information configured for presentation, the image presentation information comprising a plurality of image indicators indicating a sequence of images, the sequence of images selected by the control system of the server device based on image affinities, the image affinities determined based on the subject affinity between the reference person and the other subject appearing in the plurality of images;
- determine, based on timing information, that it is time to present a next image from the sequence of images;
- select, by the device, the next image in the sequence of images as a new current image;
- and
- effect presentation of the new current image.

A display device comprising:
- a control system comprising a processor and a memory storing program codes for presenting a graphical user interface on a display, the control system operable to:
- receive subject information including a visual representation of an other subject appearing as a subject face in a plurality of images;
- effect presentation on the display of the subject information;
- effect presentation, in an area adjacent to the subject information, of a graphical control operable to receive input from a viewer reflecting a subject affinity between the viewer and the other subject;
- receive input reflecting the subject affinity between the viewer and the other subject from the viewer based on the control;
- receive image presentation information based on the subject affinity between the viewer;
- and
- effect presentation of the image presentation information on the display;
- and
- a motion detector component coupled to the control system and operable to:
- detect motion in proximity of the display device;
- wake a digital camera component from low power mode;
- trigger the digital camera component to capture a viewer image;
- and
- the digital camera component coupled, to the control system and the motion detector component, operable to:
- capture the viewer image,
- wherein the display device is a unitary device, the motion detector component and the digital camera component are separate components, and the digital camera component does not perform the motion detection.
