Abstract: An augmented reality system includes an augmented reality (AR) device and a server computing device. The AR device transmits sensor data to the server computing device. The server computing device identifies a person and/or object in the sensor data. The server computing device executes a search over social network data to identify a portion of the social network data that relates to the identified person and/or object. The server computing device outputs augmentation data to the AR device that includes the identified portion of the social network data, and is configured to cause the AR device to display an augmentation that includes the portion of the social network data.

Abstract: A system for recording and displaying that an entity is a fan of at least one subject may include a graphical user interface including a graphical representation of a three-dimensional shape having at least a first face and a second face. The graphical representation of the three-dimensional shape may symbolize the entity or the subject in the system and the first face of the three-dimensional shape includes information corresponding to the entity or the subject. The system may further include a recording logic configured to receive information declaring that the entity or the subject is a fan. The system may further include a displaying logic configured to display on the graphical representation of the three-dimensional shape information corresponding to the entity or the subject.

Abstract: A method for operating a website for an online social networking includes is provided. The website receives a group picture depicting a plurality of individuals. Faces of the plurality of individuals depicted in the group picture are identified and personal information related to each identified face is requested and received. Each identified face in the group picture is cropped to create a plurality of cropped images, and the plurality of cropped images are displayed.

Abstract: A tagging camera device may include an image capturing logic configured to receive an image signal containing data representing at least one of a photographic image and a digital video. The tagging camera device may further include database communication logic configured to receive from at least one database data representing information from an online social network. The tagging camera device may further include identification logic configured to receive an identifying signal containing data identifying one or more objects appearing in the at least one of the photographic image and the digital video.

Abstract: In a method for linking a person to a location, a computer determines that a device of a person is within a predetermined distance of a location, based on data received from the device. The computer identifies the at least one of the person and the device, determined to be within a predetermined distance of the location, based on the received data. The computer associates the at least one of the person and the device with the location. The computer generates a message based on the association. The computer communicates the message to the person.

Abstract: A method for operating a website for an online social networking includes the steps of receiving a group picture containing a plurality of individuals, receiving identification information regarding the individuals in the group picture, displaying the group picture, and selectively displaying labels for the individuals after the individuals confirm that they have been correctly identified. According to a preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of individuals who are not registered users of the website are automatically invited to become a registered user of the website. According to another preferred embodiment, the plurality of individuals are automatically registered as register users of the website when the group picture is submitted by one of the individuals.
