Abstract
This document describes techniques that allow a user to quickly and easily share visual media. In some cases the techniques share visual media with an interested person automatically and without needing interaction from the user, such as to select the person or the manner in which to share an image. Further, the interested person need not be in the visual media, instead, the interested person can simply be someone that has a previously established interest in a person or object that is within the visual media.
Claims20
A mobile computing device comprising:
- a visual-media capture device;
- a transmitter or transceiver;
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, responsive to execution by the one or more computer processors, performing operations comprising:
- capturing visual media at the mobile computing device and through the visual-media capture device;
- recognizing a person or object in the visual media;
- determining an entity having interest in the recognized person or object;
- and
- sharing, through the transmitter or transceiver, the visual media with the determined entity.
One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more computer processors, performs operations comprising:
- receiving, at a first mobile device, from a second mobile device, and through a personal area network (PAN) or near-field communication (NFC), an indication of interest in a person or object;
- determining visual media associated with the first mobile device that includes the indicated person or object;
- and
- sharing, from the first mobile device to the second mobile device, the visual media that includes the indicated person or object.
A method comprising:
- determining an entity having an interest in a person, the determining based on a history of sharing, with the entity, prior-captured visual medias having the person;
- recognizing the person in a newly captured visual media, a probability of the recognition exceeding a threshold;
- and
- automatically sharing, without selection or user interaction, the newly captured visual media with the determined entity.
