ORGANIZING IMAGES BY CORRELATING FACES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for organizing images, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an image that includes a representation of a human face;
generating a correlation value indicating a likelihood that the human face corresponds to a stored facial profile associated with one or more profile images including a human face;
evaluating the received image and the generated correlation value to determine, depending on a result of the evaluating, whether the image corresponds to the stored facial profile;
associating the received image with the stored facial profile; and
storing an indication of the associating.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for organizing images including receiving an image that includes a representation of a human face; generating a correlation value indicating a likelihood that the human face corresponds to a stored facial profile associated with one or more profile images including a human face; evaluating the received image and the generated correlation value to determine, depending on a result of the evaluating, whether the image corresponds to the stored facial profile; associating the received image with the stored facial profile; and storing an indication of the associating.

13. A system comprising:
-
a user interface device; a storage device operable to store executable software instructions and image data; and one or more computers operable to interact with the user interface device and the storage device, and to perform operations comprising; receiving an image that includes a representation of a human face; generating a correlation value indicating a likelihood that the human face corresponds to a stored facial profile associated with one or more profile images including a human face; evaluating the received image and the generated correlation value to determine, depending on a result of the evaluating, whether the image corresponds to the stored facial profile; and displaying, using the user interface device, the received image in association with the stored facial profile. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable instructions therein for organizing images by correlating faces, the computer program product comprising computer readable instruction devices configured to cause a computer system to:
-
receive an image including a human face; generate a correlation value indicating a likelihood that the human face corresponds to a facial profile; determine, using the image and the facial profile, that the image corresponds to the facial profile; and store the image in association with the facial profile. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
