AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology helps creators improve their presentation experience when adding photos onto documents like memo notes. It involves capturing facial signs from users' eyes during content consumption with cameras attached at different locations around them. By analyzing these captured data, they are able to determine which parts of the media should have been shown up more frequently than others within specific time frames. They then use those patterns to adjust how much each part will appear overall. Overall, it provides technical benefits such as improved usability across various types of devices used while showing digital photographs online.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes how generating multimedia documents containing images from different classes can become challenges due to their small sizes. Current methods involve manually adjusting background colors around important subjects like faces during production, but this process requires human input which could lead to imprecise results if done incorrectly. Therefore, there needs a solution to accurately represent these scenes without excessive manual work.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The present invention comprises a method, system and computer program product for ensuring a desired distribution of images in a multimedia document (e.g., yearbook, slideshow, video, website). In one embodiment of the present invention, a desired distribution of facial signatures in a multimedia document to be created by the user is received. For example, the user may specify that all facial signatures should have 5 to 10 occurrences in the multimedia document. Upon receiving an image to be added to the multimedia document by the user, a facial signature for a face detected in the image is generated, such as by using a facial recognition algorithm. The current number of instances of the facial signature in the multimedia document is then determined. The desired distribution of the facial signature (the facial signature generated) is determined based on the received desired distribution of the facial signatures in the multimedia document. For example, the desired distribution of

Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for ensuring a desired distribution of images in a multimedia document (e.g., yearbook, slideshow). A desired distribution of facial signatures in a multimedia document to be created by the user is received. Upon receiving an image to be added to the multimedia document by the user, a facial signature for a face detected in the image is generated. The current number of instances of the facial signature in the multimedia document is then determined. A determination is then made as to whether the current number of instances of the facial signature meets the desired distribution. An indication is then provided to the user as to whether the current number of instances of the facial signature meets or does not meet the desired distribution. In this manner, the user can ensure a desired distribution of images in the multimedia document.
