Image annotation process

A system for annotating images, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor that is programmed to:
• receive, from a computing device, an indication to update an image corresponding to a portion of a video;
• in response to receiving the indication to update the image corresponding to the portion of the video from, receive, at a first time, annotation criteria that includes a message and a position at which the message is to be presented on the image;
• determine whether the image is to be modified based on the annotation criteria at a later time based on whether the computing device is connected to a communication network at a first time;
• in response to determining that the image is to be modified based on the annotation criteria at the later time based on the computing device not being connected to the communication network at the first time, store the annotation criteria for processing at the later time when the computing device is subsequently connected to the communication network;
• in response to determining that the user device has connected to the communication network at a second time, process the stored annotation criteria by generating a modified image using the stored annotation criteria, wherein the modified image includes the message superimposed on the image corresponding to the portion of the video;
• and
• store the modified image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for annotating images, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a computing device, an indication to update an image corresponding to a portion of a video;
• in response to receiving the indication to update the image corresponding to the portion of the video from, receiving, at a first time, annotation criteria that includes a message and a position at which the message is to be presented on the image;
• determining whether the image is to be modified based on the annotation criteria at a later time based on whether the computing device is connected to a communication network at a first time;
• in response to determining that the image is to be modified based on the annotation criteria at the later time based on the computing device not being connected to the communication network at the first time, storing the annotation criteria for processing at the later time when the computing device is subsequently connected to the communication network;
• in response to determining that the user device has connected to the communication network at a second time, processing the stored annotation criteria by generating a modified image using the stored annotation criteria, wherein the modified image includes the message superimposed on the image corresponding to the portion of the video;
• and
• storing the modified image.
