Abstract
A system for determining piles comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an image. The processor is configured to determine one or more attributes of the image; to determine whether the image is a member of a top of a hierarchy based at least in part on the attributes. In the event it is determined that the image is a member of the top of the hierarchy: determine a set of elements of the hierarchy the image is a member of, based at least in part on the attributes and determine which of the set of entities are piles.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an interface configured to receive an image;
- a processor and a memory, at least one of the processor or the memory being configured to:
- determine one or more attributes of the image;
- classify the image by determining a set of elements of a hierarchy of which the image is a member based at least in part on the attributes;
- adding the image to one or more piles associated with the set of elements of the hierarchy of which the image is a member;
- and
- providing at least one pile associated with the hierarchy for presentation via a display, the pile including one or more images.
A method, comprising:
- determining, using a processor, attributes of an image;
- classifying the image by determining a set of elements of a hierarchy of which the image is a member based at least in part on the attributes;
- adding the image to one or more piles associated with the set of elements of the hierarchy of which the image is a member;
- and
- providing at least one pile associated with the hierarchy for presentation via a display, the pile including one or more images.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- determining attributes of an image;
- classifying the image by determining a set of elements of a hierarchy of which the image is a member based at least in part on the attributes;
- adding the image to one or more piles associated with the set of elements of the hierarchy of which the image is a member;
- and
- providing at least one pile associated with the hierarchy for presentation via a display, the pile including one or more images.
