  • Patent number: 11146520
    Abstract: Implementations relate to sharing images and image albums over a communication network. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining that a shared album data structure is accessible by a device and includes references to album images. The device determines one or more suggested images from a collection of stored images associated with a user, based on determining sharing scores for the stored images. The sharing scores are based on comparing one or more characteristics of the stored images to one or more corresponding characteristics of the album images. The method includes causing display of the one or more suggested images by the device, receiving a selection of at least one selected image of the suggested images based on received user input, and causing an update of the shared album data structure with the at least one selected image to be accessible over a communication network by recipient users.

  • Patent number: 10885380
    Abstract: Some implementations can include a computer-implemented method and/or system for automatic suggestion to share images. The method can include identifying a plurality of images associated with a user and detecting one or more entities in the plurality of images. The method can also include constructing an aggregate feature vector for the plurality of images based on the one or more entities in the plurality of images and determining that the aggregate feature vector matches a first cluster. The method can further include, in response to determining that the aggregate feature vector matches the first cluster, providing a suggestion to the user for an image composition based on the plurality of images.

  • Patent number: 10872112
    Abstract: Some implementations can include a computer-implemented method and/or system for automatic suggestions to share images containing people of importance to a user. The method can include determining, based on pixels of an image associated with a user account, one or more clusters associated with the image. The method can also include determining a share probability score for the image based on a probabilistic model and determining that the share probability score meets a threshold. The method can further include, in response to determining that the share probability score meets the threshold, providing a suggestion to a user associated with the user account to share the image.
