Abstract
The systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products described herein allow a user to find published content that may be about the user on a social network by analyzing the user's profile information and social contact information to generate terms, face recognition data, contacts and other data, searching the contacts based on the generated terms, face recognition data, and other data and identifying content that may be about the user.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by at least one processor, that a user's information on a social network has been updated, the user's information including profile information and social contact information of the user;
- in response to determining that the user's information has been updated, receiving, by at least one processor, the user's profile information and social contact information from the social network;
- processing the user's profile information, by at least one processor, to identify one or more items of content that are about the user;
- processing, by at least one processor, the user's social contact information to determine a plurality of contacts associated with the user;
- searching, by at least one processor, social media content associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts based on the identified items of content to identify additional content that may be about the user;
- determining, by at least one processor, a confidence level that the additional content is about the user;
- comparing, by at least one processor, the confidence level that the additional content is about the user to a pre-determined threshold;
- determining, by at least one processor, based on the comparison that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold;
- and
- updating, by at least one processor, the user's profile information to include the additional content based at least in part on the determination that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the system to:
- determine that a user's information on a social network has been updated, the user's information including profile information and social contact information of the user;
- in response to determining that the user's information has been updated, receive the user's profile information and social contact information from the social network;
- process the user's profile information to identify one or more items of content that are about the user;
- process the user's social contact information to determine a plurality of contacts associated with the user;
- search social media content associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts based on the identified items of content to identify additional content that may be about the user;
- determine a confidence level that the additional content is about the user;
- compare the confidence level that the additional content is about the user to a pre-determined threshold;
- determine based on the comparison that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold;
- and
- update the user's profile information to include the additional content based at least in part on the determination that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold.

A computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:
- determine that a user's information on a social network has been updated, the user's information including profile information and social contact information of the user;
- in response to determining that the user's information has been updated, receive the user's profile information and social contact information from the social network;
- process the user's profile information to identify one or more items of content that are about the user;
- process the user's social contact information to determine a plurality of contacts associated with the user;
- search social media content associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts based on the identified items of content to identify additional content that may be about the user;
- determine a confidence level that the additional content is about the user;
- compare the confidence level that the additional content is about the user to a pre-determined threshold;
- determine based on the comparison that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold;
- and
- update the user's profile information to include the additional content based at least in part on the determination that the confidence level is above the pre-determined threshold.
