Abstract

Systems and methods for receiving uploaded images from users depicting people. Users are allowed to tag the images as depicting certain attribute(s). Users are allowed to share the user uploaded content with other users, which may search and/or filter based on the provided tags. A preference profile is maintained for users, and preference values related to the image tags provided for uploaded images are maintained. A user'"'"'s preference profile may be modified based on the tags associated with images uploaded by the user. A user'"'"'s preference profile may be modified based on which images, uploaded by other users, are viewed by the user.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a data upload from a user;

receiving descriptive data about contents of the data upload; and

modifying a preference profile associated with the user, based of the descriptive data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data upload is an image.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the descriptive data refers to physical attributes of a person depicted in the image.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing descriptive options to the user, wherein the receiving descriptive data includes receiving option selections based on the descriptive options.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing media content to a user based on the preference profile associated with the user.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the image depicts the user, and wherein the preference profile is an attribute profile configured to store descriptive attributes of the user.

7. A system, comprising:

a user interface configured to receive a digital media from a user;

a tagging module configured to receive descriptive tags from the user related to contents of the digital media;

a media database configured to save the digital media in association with the descriptive tags; and

a profile manager configured to modify a user preference profile based on the descriptive tags received from the user.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the media is an image.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the descriptive data refers to physical attributes of a person depicted in the image.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the tagging module is configured to provide descriptive options to the user, and configured to receive selections of the descriptive options.

11. The system of claim 7, further comprising:

a content module configured to provide content to a user based on the user preference profile associated with a particular user.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the image depicts the user, and the user preference profile is an attribute profile stored in a database including descriptive attributes of the user.

13. A system for sharing digital media, comprising:

a database to store uploaded media;

a user interface configured to receive digital media from a plurality of users and store the digital media in the database;

the user interface configured to provide a plurality of descriptive tag options to a user;

the user interface configured to receive descriptive tag selections from a particular user about a particular image when the user uploads the particular image;

the user interface configured to provide images to the plurality of users from the database;

a processor configured to modify a user preference profile based on the tag selections from a user associated with the user preference profile and based on tags associated with images viewed by the user associated with the user preference profile.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the user interface is configured to provide a user content that relates to a user preference profile for that user.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the content is adult entertainment visual media.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is configured to match a first user with a second user based on each user'"'"'s respective preference profile.
