Anonymous live image search

Abstract

A method and system for managing and sharing images in an anonymised and live manner such that a third party is able to search for the most recent images that meet the search criteria without being provided with any images uploaded by the proprietor in which a person is present. The system processes images uploaded to a database, marking them as public or private based on the content of the image, and provides an information retrieval system enabling a third party to search through the images marked as public, wherein the third party is presented with the images most recently captured that fulfil the search criteria.
