  • Publication number: 20200151453
    Abstract: An example computer-implemented method includes receiving a first plurality of images from a first user device and a second plurality of images from a second user device. The method further includes performing image processing on the first plurality of images and the second plurality of images. The method further includes comparing the first plurality of images to the second plurality of images based at least in part on the image processing to determine whether an overlap exists between at least one of the first plurality of images and at least one of the second plurality of images. The method further comprises creating a virtual container to group the at least one of the first plurality of images and the at least one of the second plurality of images.

  • Patent number: 10565432
    Abstract: In an approach to establishing personal identity using multiple sub-optimal images, a method includes receiving a set of sub-optimal input images, identifying a first and a second user feature in the set of sub-optimal input images, and determining a confidence score of the user features by comparison to user profile images. The method additionally includes determining a combined confidence score of the first user feature and the second user feature and determining whether features match a user by: (i) determining whether the combined confidence score is higher than a pre-determined threshold for the combined confidence score, (ii) determining whether the confidence score of the first user feature is higher than a pre-determined threshold for the user features, and (iii) determining whether the confidence score of the second user feature is higher than the pre-determined threshold for the user features.

  • Patent number: 10554811
    Abstract: The computing device may map the incoming number to a caller data to identify a caller. The computing device may determine, by data analytics, a type of service the user is seeking based on determining that the caller is one or more from a service provider, a company or a cause. The computing device may reject the incoming number based on determining the caller does not correspond to the type of service the user is seeking. The computing device may determine, by data analytics, a relation of the person to the user based on determining the caller is a person and rejects the incoming number based on determining the person is not related to the user.
