  • Dynamic modification of a parameter of an image based on user interest
    Patent number: 10282736
    Abstract: Methods and systems for changing a parameter associated with an image displayed on a display screen based on criteria related to a user are described. One of the methods includes receiving a selection of an image from a plurality of images. The method further includes examining the selected image to identify a keyword and criteria associated with the selected image. The keyword includes an identification of the image and the criteria including a time associated with the selected image. The method further includes ranking the selected image compared to remaining images of the plurality of images based on the keyword and the criteria, assigning a weight to an image parameter of the selected image to associate the image parameter with the rank of the selected image, and sending the assigned weight of the image parameter to a display device for display of the selected image according to the assigned weight.
