Abstract
A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder. Facial recognition is applied to the submitted files. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- generating, by a content management system in connection with a content item collection request identifying a collection folder, a token for identifying one or more faces based on a facial recognition analysis against a first set of content items;
- distributing, by the content management system, the token with one or more metadata filter parameters to a submitter;
- receiving, by the content management system, at least one content item from the submitter based on performing facial recognition analysis at a client device of the submitter utilizing the token on a second set of content items associated with the submitter to identify at least one face of the one or more faces in the second set of content items according to the one or more metadata filter parameters;
- and
- storing, by the content management system, the at least one content item from the submitter in the collection folder.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- generate, in connection with a content item collection request identifying a collection folder, a token trained to identify one or more faces via a facial recognition analysis against a first set of content items;
- distribute the token with one or more metadata filter parameters to a submitter;
- receive at least one content item from the submitter based on performing facial recognition analysis at a client device of the submitter utilizing the token on a second set of content items according to the one or more metadata filter parameters;
- and
- store the at least one content item from the submitter in the collection folder.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer system to:
- receive, from a collector in connection with a content item collection request identifying a collection folder, a token trained to identify one or more faces based on a facial recognition analysis against a first set of content items and one or more metadata filter parameters;
- executing the token to perform facial recognition analysis on a second set of content items associated with a submitter to identify at least one content item comprising at least one face of the one or more faces in the second set of content items according to the one or more metadata filter parameters;
- and
- in response to identifying the at least one content item comprising the at least one face, uploading the at least one content item to the collection folder for storage in the collection folder.
