Abstract
Data is automatically tagged utilizing information associated with nearby individuals, among other things. Location-based technology is leveraged to enable identification of individuals and associated devices within a distance of a data capture device. User information is acquired from proximate devices directly or indirectly before, during or after data recording. This information can be utilized to tag captured environmental data (e.g., images, audio, video . . . ), amongst other types, to facilitate subsequent location, filtration and/or organization.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- capturing a media content item by a recording device;
- receiving location data indicating one or more users of nearby devices within a particular distance of the recording device when the media content item is captured;
- and
- tagging the media content item with at least a portion of the location data, the tagging comprising:
- inferring a presence of at least one of the one or more users inside the media content item or outside the media content item based on the location data;
- and
- tagging the media content item with an identity of the at least one user and whether the at least one user is inside or outside the media content item.
A computer storage device comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a processor on a computing device, perform operations comprising:
- performing facial recognition on facial data corresponding to a media content item captured by the computing device;
- obtaining location data about one or more users of nearby devices;
- comparing the facial data to the location data about the one or more users of nearby devices;
- inferring presence of one or more users in the media content item based at least on the location data and the facial data;
- and
- tagging the data with an identity of the one or more users in the media content item.
A mobile device comprising:
- at least a memory and a processor to implement:
- an acquisition component, the acquisition component configured to acquire a first type of information and a second type of information;
- a tag component configured to utilize the first type of information and the second type of information to tag data captured by the mobile device to facilitate at least one of subsequent location, filtration, or organization of the data;
- and
- a privacy component configured to interact with the tag component to restrict tagging data to one or more particular users.
