First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining presence information for an object in a digital image, comprising:
- allowing an identifier associated with at least one object depicted in the image to be stored as image metadata, wherein the identifier is sufficient to determine presence information from at least one of a presence application and a presence roster list;
using the identifier to subscribe to the presence information associated with the object via a presence service;
determining, based on the identifier, presence information for the at least one object from the at least one of a presence application and a presence roster list; and
performing an action related to the object using the determined presence information.
