1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor element; and
a memory coupled to the processor element, the memory comprising;
a classification module executable by the processor element, the classification module to assign a media item to a content category;
a correlation module executable by the processor element, the correlation module to determine context information for the media item;
an aggregation module executable by the processor element, the aggregation module to;
determine at least one contact comprising an entity and a plurality of manners of communication with the entity, andgenerate a plurality of path-specific contacts for the at least one contact, the plurality of path-specific contacts comprising a single path-specific contact for each of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity, the single path specific contact comprising the entity and a single manner of communication of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity; and
an estimation module executable by the processor element, the estimation module to;
determine a set of relevance values comprising a single relevance value for each single path-specific contact based at least in part on a sharing history, the sharing history to indicate at least one previously performed sharing operation, each of the set of relevance values indicating a level of relevance of the media item to the single path specific contact, andgenerate at least one suggested recipient for the media item, the at least one suggested recipient indicating the single path-specific contact having a highest relevance value.

Abstract
Improved techniques for media item sharing are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a classification module to assign a media item to a content category, a correlation module to determine context information for the media item, and an estimation module to determine a set of relevance values for a set of contacts based at least in part on a sharing history and to generate a set of suggested recipients for the media item based at least in part on the set of relevance values and the set of contacts. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

14. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
assign a media item to a content category; determine context information for the media item; determine at least one contact comprising an entity and a plurality of manners of communication with the entity; generate a plurality of path-specific contacts for the at least one contact, the plurality of path-specific contacts comprising a single path-specific contact for each of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity, the single path specific contact comprising the entity and a single manner of communication of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity; and determine a set of relevance values comprising a single relevance value for each single path-specific contact based at least in part on a sharing history, the sharing history to indicate at least one previously performed sharing operation, each of the set of relevance values indicating a level of relevance of the media item to the single path specific contact, and generate at least one suggested recipient for the media item, the at least one suggested recipient indicating the single path-specific contact having a highest relevance value. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer-implemented method, comprising, by at least one processor element:
-
performing one or more feature recognition techniques to identify one or more features in a media item; assigning the media item to a content category based at least in part on the one or more features; determining context information for the media item; determining at least one contact comprising an entity and a plurality of manners of communication with the entity; generating a plurality of path-specific contacts for the at least one contact, the plurality of path-specific contacts comprising a single path-specific contact for each of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity, the single path specific contact comprising the entity and a single manner of communication of the plurality of manners of communication with the entity; and determining a set of relevance values comprising a single relevance value for each single path-specific contact based at least in part on a sharing history, the sharing history to indicate at least one previously performed sharing operation, each of the set of relevance values indicating a level of relevance of the media item to the single path specific contact, and generating at least one suggested recipient for the media item, the at least one suggested recipient indicating the single path-specific contact having a highest relevance value. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
