The present disclosure generally relates to obtaining details regarding an image based on search intent and, further, to determining royalty distributions and credits for projects. In an example, a computer-implemented method includes: searching, via a computing device, at least one piece of information associated with a song that is currently playing on the computing device; and displaying, via the computing device, the at least one piece of information on a display of the computing device.

A search criterion determination system includes: at least one processor configured to extract, in a case where plural images are inputted as a query, features from elements included in each image, determine at least one feature to be provided to a search engine as an input feature based on a relation between the extracted features, and transmit information based on the input feature to the search engine.

Disclosed is a secure telephone call management system for authenticating users of a telephone system in an institutional facility. Authentication of the users is accomplished by using a personal identification number, preferably in conjunction with speaker independent voice recognition and speaker dependent voice identification. When a user first enters the system, the user speaks his or her name which is used as a sample voice print. During each subsequent use of the system, the user is required to speak his or her name. Voice identification software is used to verify that the provided speech matches the sample voice print. The secure system includes accounting software to limit access based on funds in a user's account or other related limitations. Management software implements widespread or local changes to the system and can modify or set any number of user account parameters.

A system for identifying and timing an athlete during a timed sporting event. The athlete is timed using image recognition technology in which one or more images of the athlete taken during the sporting event by a camera (106a, 106b, or 106c) is time-stamped to generate a finish time for the athlete. The athlete is identified by comparing one of the images taken during the sporting event with a profile image of the athlete.

Apparatuses and methods associated with authenticated production are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a digital fingerprint processor may be configured to: identify an activation of at least one of the one or more machines to attempt to produce or manufacture at least one of physical product or physical manufacture; responsive to completion of one or more operations associated with the activation by the one or more machines, acquire digital image data of a portion of a physical object on or inside the one or more machines; analyze the digital image data to form a digital fingerprint of the physical object, wherein the digital fingerprint is responsive to structure of the physical object; and store the digital fingerprint in a database record of the database system. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Systems, devices, methods, media, and instructions for automated image processing and content curation are described. In one embodiment a server computer system receives a content message from a first content source, and analyzes the content message to determine one or more quality scores and one or more content values associated with the content message. The server computer system analyzes the content message with a plurality of content collections of the database to identify a match between at least one of the one or more content values and a topic associated with at least a first content collection of the one or more content collections and automatically adds the content message to the first content collection based at least in part on the match. In various embodiments, different content values, image processing operations, and content selection operations are used to curate content collections.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for item recommendation based on visual elements. The method includes: determining, by one or more processors, visual elements from an item image of an item; generating, by the one or more processors, an element descriptor for the item based on at least a part of the visual elements; and calculating, by the one or more processors, a compatibility value between the element descriptor and one or more other element descriptors for one or more other items.

Provided are a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable record medium for comparing common features of products and providing a comparison result. A product comparison method includes recognizing at least two comparable products from at least one image; displaying at least one common attribute of the at least two comparable products through a user interface; and based on the user interface receiving a user input that selects one of the at least one common attribute, as a selected attribute, providing a result of comparison between the at least two comparable products with regard to the selected attribute.

Systems, devices, methods, media, and instructions for automated image processing and content curation are described. In one embodiment a server computer system communicates at least a portion of a first content collection to a first client device, and receives a first selection communication in response, the first selection communication identifying a first piece of content of the first plurality of pieces of content. The server analyzes analyzing the first piece of content to identify a set of context values for the first piece of content, and accesses accessing a second content collection comprising pieces of content sharing at least a portion of the set of context values of the first piece of content. In various embodiments, different content values, image processing operations, and content selection operations are used to curate the content collections.

An embodiment for creating a tiled image using different zoom levels based on user interests is provided. The embodiment may include receiving one or more photographs captured by a user. The embodiment may also include analyzing features associated with the one or more photographs. The embodiment may further include identifying one or more known objects of interest. The embodiment may also include in response to determining the user wants to take a tiled zoom photograph, capturing a photographic image. The embodiment may further include scanning the photographic image for identifying features of the one or more known objects of interest. The embodiment may also include in response to determining at least one object of interest is found in the scanned photographic image, assembling the tiled zoom photograph with a plurality of tiles.
