Patent number: 9092457Abstract: A method for organizing images from multiple image capture devices includes allowing the determination of an offset between image capture times recorded in a first image capture device and image capture times recorded in a second image capture device, adjusting the image capture times recorded in the second image capture device by the offset to produce adjusted image capture times by a computer processor, and sequencing images taken by the first image capture device and the second image capture device in an chronological order. The sequencing is based on the image capture times for the images captured by the first image capture device and the adjusted image capture times for the images captured by the second image capture device.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Shutterfly, Inc.Inventors: Wiley H. Wang, Eugene Chen, Preeti Nathan, Trynne Anne Miller

Publication number: 20100005105Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for facilitating social networking based on fashion-related information. During operation, the system receives fashion-related information from a user. Next, the system extracts the user's fashion preferences from the received information and compares the user's fashion preference with other users' fashion preferences. Finally, the system groups users based on similarity of their fashion preferences.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER INCORPORATEDInventors: Wei Zhang, Takashi Matsumoto, Maurice K. Chu, James M.A. Begole

Publication number: 20090216721Abstract: An image file sorting method is executed by an image file sorting device, including a storage unit, a control unit, and an image reading unit, wherein the storage unit includes a sorting condition storage unit that stores a sorting condition to specify a sorting destination of an image file. The method includes a sorting keyword extracting step of extracting a sorting keyword from a marker portion of the image file read by the image reading unit, a sorting destination deciding step of deciding the sorting destination of the image file by collating the sorting keyword extracted by the sorting keyword extracting step and the sorting condition stored in the storing condition storage unit, and an image file sorting step of sorting the image file into the sorting destination decided by the sorting destination deciding step.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2008Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: PFU LIMITEDInventors: Hidenori Yamamoto, Koichi Kitagawa, Yasunori Taniguchi, Kiyoto Kosaka, Satoshi Kubo
