Tagging Images With Emotional State Information
First Claim
1. A method to operate a computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an image capture device, an image obtained from the image capture device;
receiving, from a sensor, sensor information that represents biometric information when the image was obtained from the image capture device;
determining emotional state information associated with the image based on the sensor information that represents biometric information when the image was obtained from the image capture device;
associating the emotional state information with the image; and
storing the image and emotional state information.

Abstract
Images, such as photographs or videos, are tagged with emotional state and/or biometric information. Emotional state information (or mood) may be stored in metadata of an electronic image. A computing device, such as a cellular telephone, receives an image from a camera as well as biometric information from a sensor. Sensors may be located on the computing device, or alternatively on a user wearable device. Biometric information may be from a user taking a photograph or from a user viewing a photograph. Biometric information may include heart rate, galvanic skin response (GSR), facial expression and the like. The computing device may calculate an emotional state of a user, such as happiness, based on the biometric information. The tagged biometric and/or emotional state information allows for a way to retrieve, sort and organize images. Tagged images may be used in social media connections or broadcasting, such as blogging specific emotional images.

16. One or more processor readable memories having instructions encoded thereon which when executed cause one or more processors to perform a method for processing an image, the method comprising:
-
receiving sensor information that represents biometric information from a sensor; receiving an image from a camera; calculating emotional state information associated with the image based on the sensor information that represents biometric information; storing the emotional state information with the image; receiving a request for the image having a requested emotional state; and providing the image in response to the request for the image having the requested emotional state. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
