Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for rating subjects. One of the methods includes receiving, at a user device, a rating of a real-world subject. A camera device associated with the user device is activated in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject. Subject content of the rated real-world subject is received. The rating of the real-world subject is associated with the received subject content.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a user device, a rating of a real-world subject;

activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject;

receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject; and

associating the rating of the real-world subject with the received subject content.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises an image, video, or audio of the real-world subject.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject is performed without requiring further input from a user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises:

receiving a URL of a resource about the real-world subject; and

obtaining the resource using the URL of the resource.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the real-world subject is an object, a place, or an event.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the subject content and the associated rating to a serving system for access by other users.

7. A system comprising:

a user device comprising one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising;

receiving, at a user device, a rating of a real-world subject;

activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject;

receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject; and

associating the rating of the real-world subject with the received subject content.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises an image, video, or audio of the real-world subject.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject is performed without requiring further input from a user.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises:

receiving a URL of a resource about the real-world subject; and

obtaining the resource using the URL of the resource.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the real-world subject is an object, a place, or an event.

12. The system of claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise providing the subject content and the associated rating to a serving system for access by other users.

13. A computer program product, encoded on one or more non-transitory computer storage media, comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a user device, a rating of a real-world subject;

activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject;

receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject; and

associating the rating of the real-world subject with the received subject content.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises an image, video, or audio of the real-world subject.

15. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein activating a camera device associated with the user device in response to receiving the rating of the real-world subject is performed without requiring further input from a user.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein receiving, at the user device, subject content of the rated real-world subject comprises:

receiving a URL of a resource about the real-world subject; and

obtaining the resource using the URL of the resource.

17. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the real-world subject is an object, a place, or an event.

18. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise providing the subject content and the associated rating to a serving system for access by other users.
