Publication number: 20240007528Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic sharing of images with designated users over a communication network. In some implementations, a method includes causing display of images in a user interface on a first device, each of the images depicting a different person. The images are obtained from a library of images associated with a first user. A selection of a particular image of the images is received based on user input, and a person identifier is determined indicating a particular person depicted in the selected image. The person identifier is designated as a person sharing criterion. A first image not included in the images is obtained and programmatically analyzed to determine that the first image depicts a person that matches the person sharing criterion, and an access permission is updated to grant access to the first image to a second user of a second device over a communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Frank DACHILLE, Anil SABHARWAL, Kedar KANITKAR, James GALLAGHER, Timothy NOVIKOFF, David LIEB

Patent number: 11775139Abstract: Implementations are related to providing image selection suggestions. In some implementations, a method includes receiving first user input indicative of selection of one or more first images in an image library and determining one or more first image characteristics of the one or more first images. The method further includes identifying one or more second images in the image library. Each image of the one or more second images is associated with at least one second image characteristic that matches at least one of the one or more first image characteristics. The method further includes causing a user interface to be displayed. The user interface includes the one or more second images and enables selection of the one or more second images by a user.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Julia Winn, Timothy Novikoff, Juan Carlos Anorga

Patent number: 11663827Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a video that includes multiple frames. The method further includes identifying a start time and an end time of each action in the video based on application of one or more of an audio classifier, an RGB classifier, and a motion classifier. The method further includes identifying video segments from the video that include frames between the start time and the end time for each action in the video. The method further includes generating a confidence score for each of the video segments based on a probability that a corresponding action corresponds to one or more of a set of predetermined actions. The method further includes selecting a subset of the video segments based on the confidence score for each of the video segments.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Sudheendra Vijayanarasimhan, Alexis Bienvenu, David Ross, Timothy Novikoff, Arvind Balasubramanian

Patent number: 11574470Abstract: Implementations relate to causing a command to be executed based on an image. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining and programmatically analyzing an image to determine suggested actions. The method causes a user interface to be displayed that includes user interface elements corresponding to default actions, and to suggested actions that are determined based on analyzing the image. The method receives user input indicative of selection of a particular action from the default actions and the suggested actions. The method causes a command to be executed by a computing device for the particular action that was selected.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Juan Carlos Anorga, David Lieb, Madhur Khandelwal, Evan Millar, Timothy Novikoff, Mugdha Kulkarni, Leslie Ikemoto, Jorge Verdu, Jingyu Cui, Sharadh Ramaswamy, Raja Ratna Murthy Ayyagari, Marc Cannon, Alexander Roe, Shaun Tungseth, Songbo Jin, Matthew Bridges, Ruirui Jiang, Jeremy Selier, Austin Suszek, Gang Song

Patent number: 11328013Abstract: Implementations relate to generating theme-based videos. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to automatically generate a theme-based video includes obtaining image criteria for a theme from a theme definition, querying an image database to obtain a plurality of images that meet the image criteria, determining that a count of the plurality of images satisfies a threshold based on the theme definition, and generating the theme-based video that includes one or more of the plurality of images.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Timothy Novikoff, Jingyu Cui
