Embodiment Construction

[0087] Embodiments described herein relate to apparatus and methods for automatically notifying users of changes in images depicting objects, scenes or locations captured at different times by the same or other users.

[0088] First refer to figure 1 , figure 1 A photo notification system 1 is shown. The photo notification system 1 includes: one or more mobile terminals 100 , a data communication network 300 (eg, the Internet), and a photo sharing platform 500 . In use, a user of the mobile terminal 100 uploads photos to the photo sharing platform 500, although other processing terminals such as PDAs, tablets, PCs and laptops are capable of performing uploads. Data communication also occurs from the photo sharing platform 500 to the mobile terminal 100, as will be explained below.

[0089] refer to figure 2 , shows the mobile terminal 100 . The exterior of the terminal 100 has a touch-sensitive display 102 , hardware keys 104 , a speaker 118 and an earphone port 120 .

Abstract

Apparatus and method is configured to compare a received reference image 521 associated with a first user with one or more stored images, the stored images preferably being associated with other users. The platform identifies an object or scene of interest in the reference image 523, and compares the identified object or scene of interest with objects or scenes of interest in the one or more stored images to identify common content having an appearance change 527. In such case, a notification message 529 is sent to the first user referencing or comprising the stored image(s) having the identified changed appearance. The amount of change in appearance of the images is preferably quantified and the message is only sent if the quantified change is above a certain amount.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically notifying users of images showing common content. Background technique [0002] It is common for users to upload images to web- or cloud-based image repositories such as Flikr TM or P1casa RM ) to upload the image. This can be done directly from the user's terminal, such as a smartphone with camera capabilities, or by passing the image to another processing device, such as a tablet, personal computer (PC) or laptop, and uploading from there. [0003] Uploaded images are visible to other users of the network. Images of interest to the user are located using conventional browsing techniques, entering text search terms, and / or manually interacting with search results and hyperlinks. Such browsing requires at least several inputs at the user terminal and corresponding data communication steps over the network. Images, especially photos, may have large file sizes, and thus the am...
