Patent number: 8959092Abstract: The present disclosure comprises systems and methods for providing a stream of only those photographs (including those inter-mixed with videos and hybrid types (animated gifs, animated photo bursts, etc.)) that may be of interest to particular users in a social network based on consideration of user social graphs and other external signals generated for the photographs based on predefined criteria to determine user interest levels. The systems and methods obtain photographs, retrieve social graphs for particular users, evaluate and filter photographs, rank them, and limit the number of photographs provided for viewing from a single source. Accordingly, only photographs that are determined to be most interesting to particular users are provided for display to them.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2012Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Isaac Sparrow, Anthony Howard Payne, Kevin Courtney Smilak, Simon Han, Amir Fish, David M. Cohen, Matthew Stephen Steiner

Publication number: 20140304269Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. A first image is received depicting a scene with one or more persons. Face detection information is identified for each person in the first image. Identification information for each face detected is obtained without user intervention. The face detection information and the identification information are associated with the first image. The first image including the associated face detection information and identification information is sent to a server hosting a media sharing service. An access link to an event group is received. The event group includes an album of the first image and a first collection of images that share a set of common features with the first image.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2014Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Keith Shoji KIYOHARA, Henry BENJAMIN, Darren DELAYE, Ping Hsin CHEN, Simon HAN, Kevin SMILAK, Brian AXE, Hyduke NOSHADI, Kedar KANITKAR, Evan TSANG

Patent number: 8270684Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. Collections of images are received from different users, where each collection is associated with a particular user and the users may be associated with each other. The collections are grouped into one or more albums based on the content of the images in the collection, where each album is associated with a particular user. The albums from the different users are grouped into one or more event groups based on the content of the albums. The event groups are then shared automatically, without user intervention, between the different users based on their associations with each other and their individual sharing preferences.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Keith Shoji Kiyohara, Henry Benjamin, Darren Delaye, Ping Hsin Chen, Simon Han, Kevin Smilak, Brian Axe, Hyduke Noshadi, Kedar Kanitkar, Evan Tsang
