Abstract: Methods and systems for ingesting imagery. The disclosed methods include receiving at an interface configuration data regarding each of a plurality of imagery gathering devices; configuring, using an imagery coordinating device having a processor executing instructions stored on memory, each of the plurality of imagery gathering devices in accordance with the received configuration data; and instructing each of the plurality of imagery gathering devices to gather imagery in accordance with the received configuration data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating a scavenger hunt. The systems and methods described herein involve receiving at an interface a list of a plurality of attractions, and communicating the list of the plurality of attractions to at least one device associated with a participant over a network. Scavenger hunt participants may then gather imagery of the required attractions. The systems and methods described herein then involve receiving imagery from the at least one participant and executing at least one computer vision procedure to determine whether the received imagery includes at least one of the plurality of attractions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for presenting imagery. The methods involve receiving at an interface at least one imagery item and a selection of a template. The methods then involve presenting to a viewer a preview of the at least one imagery item integrated in the selected template prior to rendering of the at least one imagery item in the template, receiving confirmation of the presented preview, and rendering the at least one imagery item in the selected template in a standardized video container file in response to receiving confirmation of the presented preview.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying at least one participant in imagery related to an event. The methods described herein may involve receiving imagery related to an event and executing at least one of an indicia identification procedure to identify at least one visual indicia in the imagery and a facial identification procedure to identify at least one face in the imagery. The methods described herein may then identify a person in the imagery based on at least one of the execution of the indicia identification procedure and the facial identification procedure.

Abstract: Methods and systems for organizing media. The systems and methods described herein organize media items based on metadata and unique media item content attributes. If a media item satisfies one or more criteria, the media item is transferred to an album to be shared with authorized users.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting an image. The systems and methods may receive one or more images as well as a context associated with the received imagery. Based on the context of the received imagery, an appropriate engine may analyze the imagery by executing one or more routines. Based on the results of the analysis, one or more of the images may be selected.

Abstract: Service Access Codes (SACs) are special codes that are part of the standard North American Numbering Plan (NANP). A messaging address system and method for facilitating interaction between mobile subscribers and message-based applications. A communications network; and a message center system coupled to the communications network. The message center system comprises a processor configured to: associate destination addresses with corresponding data network addresses; said destination addresses formatted in accordance with a standard non-geographic numbering and administration plan, receive a mobile-originated message generated by a subscriber wireless device; the destination is formatted in accordance with the Numbering Plan (NANP) service access code (SAC) format.

Abstract: Service Access Codes (SACs) are special codes that are part of the standard North American Numbering Plan (NANP). Presented herein is a solution for which these special SACs can be used as addresses to wireless data and messaging applications without precluding their traditional use for voice calls. Accordingly, provided herein is an exemplary messaging address system and method for facilitating interaction between mobile subscribers and message-based applications. The system comprises: a communications network; and a message center system coupled to said communications network.
