Publication number: 20220365990Abstract: A media application determines, based on pixels of images or videos from a collection of media items, clusters of media items such that the media items in each cluster have a visual similarity, wherein the collection of media items is associated with a user account. The media application selects a subset of the clusters of media from corresponding clusters of media items based on the media items in each cluster having a visual similarity within a range of threshold similarity values. The media application causes a user interface to be displayed that includes the subset of the clusters of media.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Kristina BOHL, Ivan OROPEZA, Lily BERG, Tracy GU, Ethan SCHREIBER, Shanfeng ZHANG, Howard ZHOU, David HENDON, Zhen LI, Futang PENG, Teresa KO, Jason CHANG

Patent number: 11146520Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: David Lieb, James Gallagher, Kedar Jayant Kanitkar, Teresa Ko, Loren Puchalla Fiore, Jason Chang, Nan Wang, Jingyu Cui, Shengyang Dai

Patent number: 10885380Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Teresa Ko, Loren Puchalla Fiore, Jason Chang, Catherine Wah

Patent number: 10872112Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Jason Chang, Catherine Wah, Loren Puchalla Fiore, Teresa Ko

Patent number: 10679039Abstract: A method to determine whether to perform recognition on an image or a video. The method includes detecting a person in an image or a video by determining a person image region that corresponds to boundaries of the person or a face image region that corresponds to a position of a face of the person. The method further includes analyzing pixel values that correspond to the boundaries of the person or the position of the face of the person to generate a recognition avoidance signal. The method further includes determining whether the recognition avoidance signal indicates that an action was taken to discourage recognition of the person. The method further includes responsive to the recognition avoidance signal indicating that the action was taken to discourage recognition of the person, declining to perform recognition of the person.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Andrew Gallagher, Praveen Bommannavar, Teresa Ko
