Abstract
Systems and methods for managing an image repository for pathology. In an embodiment, a search request is received. One or more digital slide images are identified from an image repository based on the search request. A user is provided access to the identified digital slide images. In addition, each of a plurality of collections of digital slide images are associated with a search rating, and a value for each of the plurality of collections is computed based on the associated search rating and a size of the collection.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a memory storing an image repository, the image repository comprising a plurality of collections, wherein each of the plurality of collections comprises one or more digital slide images and associated metadata;
- and
- at least one hardware processor configured to
- associate each of the plurality of collections with a collection rating,
- for each of a plurality of search requests,
- identify one or more digital slide images based on at least the search request,
- provide a graphical user interface providing access to each of the identified one or more digital slide images to a user along with an associated input for each of the identified one or more digital slide images,
- receive user feedback via the input for at least one of the identified one or more digital slide images, and
- update the collection rating, associated with the collection that comprises the at least one digital slide image, based on the user feedback for the at least one digital slide image,
- compute a value for each of the plurality of collections based on a ratio of the associated collection rating to a current size of the collection, and,
- for each of the plurality of collections, facilitate either payment to an owner of the collection or charging of the owner of the collection based on the computed value by,
- when the computed value is above a threshold, initiating payment to the owner of the collection in proportion to how much greater the computed value is to the threshold, and,
- when the computed value is below the threshold, initiating charging of the owner of the collection in proportion to how much lower the computed value is to the threshold.

A method of using at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:
- storing an image repository in a memory, the image repository comprising a plurality of collections, wherein each of the plurality of collections comprises one or more digital slide images and associated metadata;
- associating each of the plurality of collections with a collection rating;
- for each of a plurality of search requests,
- identifying one or more digital slide images based on at least the search request,
- providing a graphical user interface providing access to each of the identified one or more digital slide images to a user along with an associated input for each of the identified one or more digital slide images,
- receiving user feedback via the input for at least one of the identified one or more digital slide images, and
- updating the collection rating, associated with the collection that comprises the at least one digital slide image, based on the user feedback for the at least one digital slide image;
- computing a value for each of the plurality of collections based on a ratio of the associated collection rating to a current size of the collection;
- and,
- for each of the plurality of collections, facilitating either payment to an owner of the collection or charging of the owner of the collection based on the computed value by,
- when the computed value is above a threshold, initiating payment to the owner of the collection in proportion to how much greater the computed value is to the threshold, and,
- when the computed value is below the threshold, initiating charging of the owner of the collection in proportion to how much lower the computed value is to the threshold.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- store an image repository in a memory, the image repository comprising a plurality of collections, wherein each of the plurality of collections comprises one or more digital slide images and associated metadata;
- associate each of the plurality of collections with a collection rating;
- for each of a plurality of search requests,
- identify one or more digital slide images based on at least the search request,
- provide a graphical user interface providing access to each of the identified one or more digital slide images to a user along with an associated input for each of the identified one or more digital slide images,
- receive user feedback via the input for at least one of the identified one or more digital slide images, and
- update the collection rating, associated with the collection that comprises the at least one digital slide image, based on the user feedback for the at least one digital slide image;
- compute a value for each of the plurality of collections based on a ratio of the associated collection rating to a current size of the collection;
- and,
- for each of the plurality of collections, facilitate either payment to an owner of the collection or charging of the owner of the collection based on the computed value by,
- when the computed value is above a threshold, initiating payment to the owner of the collection in proportion to how much greater the computed value is to the threshold, and,
- when the computed value is below the threshold, initiating charging of the owner of the collection in proportion to how much lower the computed value is to the threshold.
