Implementations are described herein for automatically annotating or curating digital images using various signals generated by individual users, in addition to or instead of content of the digital images themselves, thereby to enable the digital images to be retrieved from a searchable database based on their annotations. In particular, techniques are described herein for identifying events associated with a user, e.g., based on natural language input provided by a user, and automatically classifying/annotating images inferred to be related to those events.

A system for analyzing screenshots can include a computing device including a processor coupled to a memory and a display screen configured to display content. The system can include an application stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The application can include a screenshot receiver configured to access, from storage to which a screenshot of the content displayed on the display screen captured using a screenshot function of the computing device is stored, the screenshot including an image and a predetermined marker. The application can include a marker detector configured to detect the predetermined marker included in the screenshot. The application can include a link identifier configured to identify, using the predetermined marker, a link to a resource mapped to the image included in the screenshot, the resource accessible by the computing device via the link.

[Object] To enable a user to simply and easily confirm update information of a plurality of pieces of content data handled by a plurality of various application programs without any troublesome operation. [Solving Means] A plurality of update information display cards (51) are aligned and displayed on a display screen (50). The update information display cards (51) displayed on the display screen (50) are associated with different pieces of content data, and update information of the content data is individually arranged on the corresponding update information display card (51). Moreover, the update information display cards (51) on which the update information of the different types of content data are arranged are aligned and displayed on the display screen (50) in a chronological order of the updates of the content data.

Techniques and apparatuses for highlighting media through weighting of people or contexts are described. This document describes techniques that allow a user to quickly and easily highlight media, such as through generating a highlight reel. The techniques also enable selection of context and person weightings by which to tailor highlight reels.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving a query image, receiving one or more entities that are associated with the query image, identifying, for one or more of the entities, one or more candidate search queries that are pre-associated with the one or more entities, generating a respective relevance score for each of the candidate search queries, selecting, as a representative search query for the query image, a particular candidate search query based at least on the generated respective relevance scores and providing the representative search query for output in response to receiving the query image.

This invention relates to a network interface device. A first capture device interfaces with a first external information source to capture first external information. A processor processes the captured first external information and stores it in a first media. The processor initiates the storage of the first captured information at an initial time and completes storage of the first captured information at a completion time, thus providing a stored defined set of first captured information. A transmitter transmits the defined set of stored captured information to a remote location on a network. A remote processing system is disposed at the remote node on the network and includes a database and a receiver for receiving the transmitted defined set of first captured information. A data converter is operable to convert the received defined set of first captured information to a second format. The database stores the set of converted captured information.

Disclosed is a method for providing geographic information and analysis information for each user using a universal map, which includes: a map information receiving step of requesting authentication to a universal map server storing map information including one of a map image and guide information by transmitting user authentication information except socially disadvantaged type information, to receive map information from the universal map server; a guide information extraction step of extracting guide information, as guide information for providing the geographic information on the map image to the user terminal from the received map information, corresponding to the socially disadvantaged type information of the user among the user account information from a data model database; and a geographic information providing step of providing geographic information customized according to the user, by outputting geographic information reflecting attribute information of spatial objects to the user terminal based on the extracted guide information.

An electronic device comprises a communication unit. and a response unit that, when a request has been received from an external device, generates information in accordance with the type of the request and sends the generated information to the external device as a response, wherein the response unit includes a determination unit that determines whether or not the received request belongs to a type that requests information pertaining to a plurality of files stored in the memory, a generation unit that, when the determination unit has determined that the received request belongs to the type that requests information pertaining to a plurality of files, generates a single chunk in which the requested information is written for the plurality of files, and a sending unit that sends the chunk generated by the generation unit as a response to the request.

The present application discloses a method. for creating an album in real-time by an application, once selecting the titled album; entering camera mode in the application. Text function bar shown within camera mode; ability to contribute personalized text entry while in camera mode before and after captured if needed; capturing the at least one media. Photo, video or text entry, via the application; showing the at least one media with text entries by the application; and automatically, self-populating, in real time, directly into selected album. All entries will have date and time under each entry to ensure the accuracy. In addition, application allows user to invite additional contributors to contribute and capture directly, into the same album at the same time. When the album is finalized, the album may automatically include date of the first and last entry on cover and spine of album, alongside the title.
