Patent number: 9977952Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for organizing images. In one aspect, a method can include generating a correlation value indicating a likelihood that a face included in a test image corresponds to a face associated with a base image, determining that a correlation threshold exceeds the correlation value and that the correlation value exceeds a non-correlation threshold, generating a similarity score based on one or more exposure values and one or more color distribution values corresponding to the test image and the base image, combining the similarity score with the correlation value to generate a weighted correlation value, and determining that the test image and the base image are correlated when the weighted correlation value exceeds the correlation threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Greg Gilley, Joshua David Fagans, Nikhil Bhatt, Jeff Albouze, Simeon Leifer, Timothy B. Martin, Gregory Charles Lindley

Patent number: 9959293Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes displaying, within a user interface, a view pane having a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, displaying, within the view pane, a plurality of poster frames, each poster frame representing a corresponding media item, a first poster frame being displayed as positioned in a first row extending across the event view pane in the horizontal direction such that the first poster frame is displayed substantially adjacent to a first vertical edge of the event view pane and subsequent poster frames are displayed substantially adjacent to one another in the first row until a poster frame in the first row is displayed substantially adjacent to a second vertical edge of the event view pane, and displaying a next poster frame in a second row vertically displaced from the first row. Photographs in a poster frame can be previewed by moving a cursor across the poster frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Joshua Fagans, Simeon Leifer, Randy Ubillos

Patent number: 9495583Abstract: A computer-implemented method for organizing images including receiving an image that includes a representation of a human face; generating a correlation value indicating a likelihood that the human face corresponds to a stored facial profile associated with one or more profile images including a human face; evaluating the received image and the generated correlation value to determine, depending on a result of the evaluating, whether the image corresponds to the stored facial profile; associating the received image with the stored facial profile; and storing an indication of the associating.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Greg Gilley, Joshua David Fagans, Nikhil Bhatt, Jeff Albouze, Simeon Leifer, Timothy B.
