Automatic determination of whether a document includes an image gallery
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- generating, by one or more processors, information that identifies horizontal distances and vertical distances between images included in a document,the horizontal distances and the vertical distances corresponding to distances between the images when the document is provided for display;
estimating, by the one or more processors, a likelihood that the document includes an image gallery,the likelihood being estimated based on the information that identifies the horizontal distances and the vertical distances between the images in the document; and
storing, by the one or more processors and when the estimated likelihood indicates that the document includes the image gallery, in a memory;
information associated with the images, andinformation indicating that the images are part of the image gallery.

Abstract
Image galleries are automatically located within documents, such as web pages. Documents that are determined to contain image galleries may be treated differently when storing the document for later retrieval by an image search engine. In one implementation, the image galleries are automatically located within a document by calculating position information indicating relative positions of images in the document. The document may be determined to contain an image gallery when the position information indicates that the images in the document are generally evenly distributed.

8. A system comprising:
one or more processors to; generate information that identifies horizontal distances and vertical distances between images included in a document, the horizontal distances and the vertical distances corresponding to distances between the images when the document is provided for display; estimate a likelihood that the document includes an image gallery, the likelihood being estimated based on the information that identifies the horizontal distances and the vertical distances between the images in the document; and store, when the estimated likelihood indicates that the document includes the image gallery, in a memory; information associated with the images, and information indicating that the images are part of the image gallery. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A server comprising:
-
a memory to store instructions; and one or more processors to execute the instructions to; generate information that identifies horizontal distances and vertical distances between images included in a document, the horizontal distances and the vertical distances corresponding to distances between the images when the document is provided for display; estimate a likelihood that the document includes an image gallery, the likelihood being estimated based on the information that identifies the horizontal distances and the vertical distances between the images in the document; and store, when the estimated likelihood indicates that the document includes the image gallery, in a memory; information associated with the images, and information indicating that the images are part of the image gallery. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
