Abstract
An image of users of an application may be received from a computing device on a home network. The image may comprise representations of a group of users. Recognition techniques may be applied to the image. Unclaimed profiles may be created for users who are not recognized. The unclaimed profiles may be utilized by applications prior to being claimed by a user or group. Access to the unclaimed profiles may be controlled based on the identity of the network gateway used in the transmission of the image used as the basis for forming the profile.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing output of an indication of a profile associated with a user, wherein the profile is based on media data received from a first computing device and via a second computing device;
- receiving, via the second computing device, a request to access the profile;
- and
- based on the request being received via the second computing device, causing sending of at least one message associated with access to the profile.
A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- cause output of an indication of a profile associated with a user, wherein the profile is based on media data received from a first computing device and via a second computing device;
- receive, via the second computing device, a request to access the profile;
- and
- based on the request being received via the second computing device, cause sending of at least one message associated with access to the profile.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- causing output of an indication of a profile associated with a user, wherein the profile is based on media data received from a first computing device and via a second computing device;
- receiving, via the second computing device, a request to access the profile;
- and
- based on the request being received via the second computing device, causing sending of at least one message associated with access to the profile.
