Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine that at least one image has been captured using the computing device, wherein one or more individuals are represented in the image. An identity of at least a first individual of the one or more individuals represented in the image is determined, wherein the identity of the first individual is determined, at least in part, using a social networking system. A notification is presented through a display of the computing device, wherein the notification provides an option to send a message including the captured image to the first individual.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, an image captured by a computing device of a user in which an individual appears;
- determining, by the computing system, an identity of the individual appearing in the image based on an image classifier and a selected relationship with the user;
- and
- providing, by the computing system, the identity of the individual to the computing device, wherein a notification is provided that includes an option to send a message to the individual through an existing message thread associated with the user and the individual, the notification including a label in an image of the individual that indicates the identity of the individual.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an image captured by a computing device of a user in which an individual appears;
- determining an identity of the individual appearing in the image based on an image classifier and a selected relationship with the user;
- and
- providing the identity of the individual to the computing device, wherein a notification is provided that includes an option to send a message to the individual through an existing message thread associated with the user and the individual, the notification including a label in an image of the individual that indicates the identity of the individual.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least on processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an image captured by a computing device of a user in which an individual appears;
- determining an identity of the individual appearing in the image based on an image classifier and a selected relationship with the user;
- and
- providing the identity of the individual to the computing device, wherein a notification is provided that includes an option to send a message to the individual through an existing message thread associated with the user and the individual, the notification including a label in an image of the individual that indicates the identity of the individual.
