A method of using images and image metadata to locate one or more resources includes receiving a requests, each request requesting a location of a resource and including an image related to the resource, information specifying how the image and the resource are related, and metadata for the image. A queue is created for each of a plurality of responding systems, the queue ranked, and specifying the order in which the requests are to be displayed at respective responding systems. The generated queues and sent to their respective responding systems, and a response is received that specifies the location of a resource.

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for searching a cartoon. The method includes: S1, receiving query information input by a user; S2, acquiring cartoon information related to the query information; and S3, providing a searching result page, and displaying the cartoon information in the searching result page in a preset form. With the method and apparatus provided by the present disclosure, the user may browse relevant cartoons through searching without needing to search and browse on the social network or click the natural result to enter a website for browsing, thereby better satisfying the user's cartoon searching requirement.

Apparatuses and methods associated with personal history in a track and trace system are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a method includes acquiring first information corresponding to a physical object; identifying first authentication data based on the first information; storing the first authentication data in a database system; subsequent to storing the first authentication data, acquiring second information corresponding to a target physical object and identifying second authentication data based on the second information; identifying third information corresponding to the target physical object; querying the database system to seek a matching record based on the second authentication data; in the case that a matching record is returned responsive to the querying, updating the matching record with an indication that the second authentication data was matched to it and updating history data of said matching record based on said third information. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

A computing device stores an acquired image as a transient image template when there is a failure in an image-based authentication of the acquired image and the user of the computing device has provided user credentials that authorize the user to access the computing device. The transient image template may be used to further authorize the user to access the computing device during a predetermined time period. At the expiration of the predetermined time period, the computing device deletes the transient image template. The computing device then reverts to using a baseline image template for performing image-based authentication of the user. The transient image template may also be associated with a location such that the computing device uses the transient image template for image-based authentication when the computing device is at or near the location.

The present disclosure is directed towards providing content that corresponds to physical items. In some implementations, the present disclosure includes storing multiple sets of content that each correspond to a different context and physical item in a set of physical items, receiving data that identifies a particular physical item, selecting a particular set of content that corresponds to the particular physical item, and causing the particular set of content to be output.

Provided are an image presentation system, an image presentation method, a program, and a recording medium that perform a desired process by designating a specific image by each participant from plural images captured by plural participants who participate in an event and a companion. In the image presentation system, the image presentation method, the program, and the recording medium, plural images captured by participants in an event and a companion are acquired and stored, the images are analyzed, analysis tag information is assigned to each image on the basis of an analysis result of each image, designation tag information that is designated by each participant is acquired as a command of each participant, an image to which analysis tag information that matches the designation tag information designated by each participant is assigned from the plural images is extracted as an extraction image for each participant, and the extraction image for each participant is presented to each participant.

Systems and methods for augmenting and sharing data from audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices are provided. In one embodiment, a method may include receiving, from an A/V recording and communication device, image data representing an image, analyzing the image data to determine one or more objects depicted by the image data, based on the analyzing the image data, determining at least one comment associated with the one or more objects; transmitting, to a first client device associated with the A/V recording and communication device, the image data representing the image and the at least one comment, receiving, from the first client device, consent for sharing the image data with a geographic area network, the consent indicating a selection of a comment from the at least one comment, and transmitting, to a second client device, the image data representing the image and the comment.
