Intelligent biometric identification of a participant associated with a media recording

A system for identifying a participant of a media comprising:

• an identification engine configured to identify a participant associated with a media recording, wherein the media is at least one of a photograph and a video, wherein the participant is at least one of a creator of the media and a subject present within the media;
• a biometric collector configured to determine an identity of the participant utilizing biometrics associated with one or more identity sources, wherein the identity is associated with a confidence score, wherein the confidence score indicates the accuracy of the identity associated with the participant, wherein each of the one or more identity sources is associated with a weighted value, wherein the weighted value represents validity of identity data of the identity source, wherein the confidence score is computed utilizing an average of weighted values of the each of the one or more identity sources;
• and
• a data store configured to persist at least one of the media, the participant identity associated with the media, a tagging rule, and an identity source identifier.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, wherein said computer usable program code when processed by a processor is operable to:

• identify a media recording within a data store of a computing device, wherein the media is at least one of a photograph and a video;
• analyze the media to determine a participant associated with the media, wherein the participant is a creator of the media and a subject present within the media;
• determine the identity of the participant utilizing biometrics associated with one or more identity sources, wherein the identity is associated with a confidence score, wherein the confidence score indicates the accuracy of the identity associated with the participant, wherein each of the one or more identity sources is associated with a weighted value, wherein the weighted value represents the validity of identity data associated with the identity source, wherein the confidence score is computed utilizing an average of weighted values of the each of the one or more identity sources;
• and
• automatically tag the identity of the participant within the media, wherein the tagging is at least one of a participant name and participant user name.
