Abstract
Systems and methods for generating a summary of photos from a plurality of received photos are described. The received photos are classified according to predefined attributes. Two or more of the categories are selected, and a ratio value is received from a user relating to the two or more of the categories. Photos are selected from among the photos in the two or more categories based on the specified ratio and based on sorting the received photos according to time information. The selected photos comprising the summary of photos are displayed.
Claims27
A method executed by a processor for generating a summary of photos from a plurality of received photos, comprising:
- classifying the received photos into one or more categories according to predefined attributes;
- receiving through a controller on a user interface one or more criteria for generating a summary of photos according to a user preference, wherein the one or more criteria comprises at least one of:
- a target number of photos for the one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target number of photos comprises specifying at least one percentage of photos for one or more of the categories that makes up a total number of summary photos;
- and
- a target ratio of photos for one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target ratio comprises a ratio of photos depicting individuals to photos depicting landscapes;
- selecting from among photos in each of the categories according to received criteria;
- generating the summary of photos by selecting one or more subsets of the selected photos for each of the categories, wherein the summary of photos comprises combining the one or more subsets of photos into a single summary result;
- and
- displaying the summary of photos.
A computer-readable medium embedded with a computer program for generating a summary of photos from a plurality of received photos, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to perform said method comprising:
- classifying the received photos into one or more categories according to predefined attributes;
- receiving through a controller on a user interface one or more criteria for generating a summary of photos according to a user preference, wherein the one or more criteria comprises at least one of:
- a target number of photos for the one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target number of photos comprises specifying at least one percentage of photos for one or more of the categories that makes up a total number of summary photos;
- and
- a target ratio of photos for one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target ratio comprises a ratio of photos depicting individuals to photos depicting landscapes;
- selecting from among photos in each of the categories according to received criteria;
- generating the summary of photos by selecting one or more subsets of the selected photos for each of the categories, wherein the summary of photos comprises combining the one or more subsets of photos into a single summary result;
- and
- displaying the summary of photos.
A system for generating a summary of photos from a plurality of received photos, comprising:
- a processor;
- a classifier for classifying the received photos into one or more categories according to predefined attributes;
- a controller on a user interface for receiving one or more criteria for generating a summary of photos according to a user preference, wherein the one or more criteria comprises at least one of:
- a target number of photos for the one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target number of photos comprises specifying at least one percentage of photos for one or more of the categories that makes up a total number of summary photos;
- and
- a target ratio of photos for one or more of the categories in the summary of photos, wherein the target ratio comprises a ratio of photos depicting individuals to photos depicting landscapes;
- a controller on a user interface for selecting from among photos in each of the categories according to received criteria;
- a generator for generating the summary of photos by selecting one or more subsets of the selected photos for each of the categories, wherein the summary of photos comprises combining the one or more subsets of photos into a single summary result;
- and
- a display for displaying the summary of photos.
