Identifying relevant faces in images for a user

Abstract

Face profiles for multiple people associated with a user are obtained at a computing device. The face profile for a person identifies the face of the person (e.g., an image of the face of the person) and a confidence level indicating how important that person is to the owner. An image is captured at the computing device and a determination is made, based on a confidence level associated with at least one face in the image, whether the image is relevant to the user. One or more actions to keep the image are taken in response to determining that the image is relevant to the user, such as saving the image at the computing device or transmitting the image to a computing device of the user.
