Visual hash tags via trending recognition activities, systems and methods
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital content subscribing device comprising:
- a display;
a non-transitory computer readable memory storing software instructions; and
a processor coupled with the display and the non-transitory computer readable memory, and that, upon execution of the software instructions, operates as;
a recognition module configurable to;
acquire a digital image that includes images of a plurality of objects; and
derive a set of descriptors associated with the plurality of objects from the digital image;
an object analysis module coupled with the recognition module and configurable to;
identify subsets of descriptors relevant to object features of objects in the plurality of objects;
recognize some of the plurality of objects as recognized objects as a function of the subsets of descriptors; and
weight the subsets of descriptors according to relevancy rules as a function of the recognized objects thereby forming weighted subsets of descriptors; and
a subscription agent coupled with the object analysis module and configurable to;
receive a list of content channel identifiers for the recognized objects based on a submission of the weighted subsets of descriptors as a query to a channel database;
subscribe to at least one digital content channel associated with the recognized objects based on content channel identifiers;
render, via the display, digital content from the at least one digital content channel and retrieved from a source device.

Abstract
A system and method of treating image data as a visual hash tag are presented. A device is able to subscribe to a content channel, possibly a channel that provide social media information, by the act of recognizing related objects without requiring a user to annotate content with unnatural hash tags.
