Abstract
For appending a user identifier to an image, code records a user identity input from an input device in response to a principle camera recording a principle image. In addition, the code generates a user identifier from the user identity input. The code further appends the user identifier to the principle image.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising:
- an electronic device comprising:
- an input device comprising a second camera;
- a principle camera;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:
- record a user identity input from the input device in response to the principle camera recording a principle image, wherein the user identity input is a user image;
- access a social media account associated with the electronic device;
- access a user identity database associated with the social media account, wherein the user identity database comprises a plurality of entries, and each entry comprises a user input, an input type, and user metadata;
- match the user identity input to a social media image user input with an image type in the user identity database;
- generate a user identifier from the social media image user input by retrieving the user metadata for the social media image user input in the user identity database and parsing a name from the user metadata as the user identifier;
- and
- append the user identifier to the principle image as a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) author field.

A method comprising:
- recording, by use of a processor, a user identity input from an input device comprising a second camera in response to a principle camera recording a principle image, wherein the user identity input is a user image;
- accessing a social media account associated with the principle camera;
- accessing a user identity database associated with the social media account, wherein the user identity database comprises a plurality of entries, and each entry comprises a user input, an input type, and user metadata;
- matching the user identity input to a social media image user input with an image type in the user identity database;
- generating a user identifier from the social media image user input by retrieving the user metadata for the social media image user input in the user identity database and parsing a name from the user metadata as the user identifier;
- and
- appending the user identifier to the principle image as a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) author field.
4 more elements
A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:
- recording a user identity input from an input device comprising a second camera in response to a principle camera recording a principle image, wherein the user identity input is a user image;
- accessing a social media account associated with the principle camera;
- accessing a user identity database associated with the social media account, wherein the user identity database comprises a plurality of entries, and each entry comprises a user input, an input type, and user metadata;
- matching the user identity input to a social media image user input with an image type in the user identity database;
- generating a user identifier from the social media user input by retrieving the user metadata for the social media image user input in the user identity database and parsing a name from the user metadata as the user identifier;
- and
- appending the user identifier to the principle image as a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) author field.
