Abstract
The present invention is a photograph sharing process and/or system that identifies photographs to users based on biometric objects and/or non-biometric objects. The photographs can then be shared or sent to users with certainty and in which a subject or individual appears directly in that particular photo.
Claims20
A photograph network sharing process comprising the steps of:
- (a) uploading one or more photographs to a server;
- (b) registering a user, wherein the step of registering a user includes:
- (i) providing the user with an option to consent to receiving one or more photographs stored on the server and that contain an image of the user;
- (ii) extracting object metrics from a photograph of the user, when the user consents to receiving the one or more photographs, defined as a registered user;
- (iii) creating a secure access to a photo gallery uniquely associated to the registered user and stored on the server;
- (iv) storing the primary object metrics on the server and linking the primary object metrics of the registered user to the photo gallery;
- and
- (v) providing the registered user with an unique subject identifier or unique link for access into the photo gallery uniquely associated to the registered user;
- and
- (c) processing the one or more photographs by the server after registration of the user occurs, wherein the step of processing the one or more photographs includes the steps of:
- (i) extracting object metrics on a portion of the photo depicted within each photograph, of the one or more photographs;
- and
- (ii) creating a database on the server that links each photograph, of the one or more photographs to corresponding extracted object metrics;
- (iii) matching and linking a photograph, of the one or more photographs uploaded to the server, to the registered user, wherein the step of matching and linking a photograph includes:
- automatically comparing the primary object metrics with the extracted object metrics stored on the database and corresponding to any and all photographs, of the one or more photographs, uploaded to the server;
- identifying a photograph, when comparing the primary object recognition metrics to the extracted object metrics contains a predetermined level of certainty that the photograph contains an image of the registered user;
- and
- (d) automatically linking the identified photograph to the photo gallery uniquely associated to the registered user, whereby the registered user accessing the photo gallery uniquely matched to the registered user gains access only to all identified photographs which contain the image of the registered user.

- automatically comparing the primary object metrics with the extracted object metrics stored on the database and corresponding to any and all photographs, of the one or more photographs, uploaded to the server;
- identifying a photograph, when comparing the primary object recognition metrics to the extracted object metrics contains a predetermined level of certainty that the photograph contains an image of the registered user;
- and
- (e) automatically linking the identified photograph to the photo gallery uniquely associated to the registered user, whereby the registered user accessing the photo gallery uniquely matched to the registered user gains access only to all identified photographs which contain the image of the registered user.
