Abstract
A system, computer program, and method for storing and sharing images such as photographs via a communications network (16) and for permitting the identification of objects within the images. The invention allows the identification of objects such as persons within the photos without requiring the person submitting the photos to type in identification information for each and every photo in a photo album. The invention also allows users to automatically share their photos with others and to automatically search for photos and/or certain people in photos.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- by one or more computing devices, receiving via a communications network an item of digital media and identifying data associated with the item of digital media from a first user, the identifying data defining a bounded two-dimensional region surrounding a particular feature within the item of digital media and associating a first identification with the bounded two-dimensional region;
- by the one or more computing devices, receiving via the communications network an input from a second user selecting the item of digital media;
- by the one or more computing devices, accessing the item of digital media and the identifying data;
- and
- by the one or more computing devices, providing via the communications network for presentation to the second user a graphical user interface comprising the item of digital media and an identifications list separate from the item of digital media, the identifications list comprising the first identification and a second identification, and the graphical user interface being configured to:
- provide a visual or graphical indication, within the item of digital media, of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification by the identifying data in response to user interaction with the first identification in the identifications list;
- and
- suppress the visual or graphical indication of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification in response to user interaction with the second identification in the identifications list.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodying software configured when executed to:
- receive via a communications network an item of digital media and identifying data associated with the item of digital media from a first user, the identifying data defining a bounded two-dimensional region surrounding a particular feature within the item of digital media and associating a first identification with the bounded two-dimensional region;
- receive via the communications network an input from a second user selecting the item of digital media;
- access the item of digital media and the identifying data;
- and
- provide via the communications network for presentation to the second user a graphical user interface comprising the item of digital media and a identifications list separate from the item of digital media, the identifications list comprising the first identification and a second identification, and the graphical user interface being configured to:
- provide a visual or graphical indication, within the item of digital media, of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification by the identifying data in response to user interaction with the second identification in the identifications list;
- and
- suppress the visual or graphical indication of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification in response to user interaction with the second identification in the identifications list.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one computing device comprising a storage device;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the computing device comprising instructions executable by the computing device, the computing device operable when executing the instructions to:
- receive via a communications network an item of digital media and identifying data associated with the item of digital media from a first user, the identifying data defining a bounded two-dimensional region surrounding a particular feature within the item of digital media and associating a first identification with the bounded two-dimensional region;
- receive via the communications network an input from a second user selecting the item of digital media;
- access the item of digital media and the identifying data;
- and
- provide via the communications network for presentation to the second user a graphical user interface comprising the item of digital media and a identifications list separate from the item of digital media, the identification list comprising the first identification and a second identification, and the graphical user interface being configured to:
- provide a visual or graphical indication, within the item of digital media, of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification by the identifying data in response to user interaction with the second identification in the identifications list;
- and
- suppress the visual or graphical indication of the bounded two-dimensional region associated with the first identification in response to user interaction with the second identification in the identifications list.
