  • Patent number: 9251176
    Abstract: In embodiments of photo chapters organization, a photo analyzer is implemented to receive a set of digital photos, and generate a photo sequence of the digital photos based on a respective timestamp of each photo. The photo sequence includes a first photo based on an earliest timestamp and a last photo based on a latest timestamp. The photo analyzer creates a photo chapter that includes the first photo. To organize the digital photos into photo chapters, the photo analyzer can determine whether a next photo in the photo sequence is to be added to a current photo chapter, and then either adds the next photo to the current photo chapter, or creates a next photo chapter that includes the next photo. The photo analyzer can repeat to organize each next photo in the photo sequence into the photo chapters until the last photo is included in a last photo chapter.

  • Patent number: 8983150
    Abstract: In embodiments of photo importance determination, a photo analyzer is implemented to analyze the image content of each photo in a set of digital photos, and determine similar photos based on the image content and metadata of the digital photos. The photo analyzer can then create stacks of the similar photos and determine a representative photo from the similar photos in each stack. The photo analyzer can then determine a display sequence to display non-stacked photos and the representative photos of each stack. The photo analyzer can also receive viewer feedback associated with the digital photos being displayed for viewing, and then determine a different representative photo from the similar photos in each of the stacks based on the viewer feedback. The photo analyzer can also determine a revised display sequence of the non-stacked photos and the representative photos of the stacks based on the viewer feedback.
