Computer-implemented methods and systems of updating user identifiers in an image-sharing environment include features for facilitating blocking, permitting, sharing and/or modifying content such as images and videos. User identification vectors providing data representative of a user and information about one or more facial characteristics of the user are broadcasted by a modular computing device. Information about one or more additional characteristics of the user (e.g., body characteristics and/or contextual characteristics) as determined from images of the user obtained by one or more image capture devices are received. An updated user identification vector including the information about one or more additional characteristics of the user is stored at and subsequently broadcasted by the modular computing device.
A computer-implemented method of updating user identifiers in an image-sharing environment, comprising:
The computer-implemented method of any one of the preceding claims, further comprising receiving, by the at least one modular computing device, one or more images obtained by one or more image capture devices located in proximity to the at least one modular computing devices, wherein the images are received in response to the one or more image capture devices receiving the broadcasted user identification vector.
The computer-implemented method of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the user identification vector includes a privacy request for the user indicating that the user would like to block collection of images that include the user.
The computer-implemented method of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the one or more modular computing devices are configured for functional operation in a position relative to the body of the user and wherein the image capture device communicated with by the modular computing device comprises one or more of a smartphone, a laptop, smart watch, and a tablet.
A modular computing device, comprising:
