Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for determining shared friends of individuals
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a selection of at least one tagged face from an image;
facilitating sending of a generated message to a device requesting identification of one or more commonly shared friends of at least two individuals in response to receipt of the selection of the tagged face that corresponds to one of the individuals;
enabling, via a processor, provision of display of visible indicia superimposed on the image denoting visual indications identifying one or more commonly shared friends of the individuals, the visual indications, superimposed on the image, of the commonly shared friends are associated with the selected tagged face within the image;
determining a strength of relationship of at least one of the individuals and at least one of the commonly shared friends based in part on a comparison of a number of communications, between the at least one individual and the commonly shared friend, to a predetermined threshold;
determining that the relationship is strong in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold; and
determining that the relationship is weak in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications is less than the predetermined threshold.

Abstract
An apparatus for providing a user-friendly and efficient manner to determine one or more shared friends of individuals may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code that cause the apparatus to at least perform operations including receiving an indication of a selection of at least one tagged face from an image. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to facilitate sending of a generated message to a device requesting identification of one or more commonly shared friends of at least two individuals in response to receipt of the selection of the tagged face. The tagged face corresponds to one of the individuals. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to enable provision of display of visible indicia, superimposed on the image, indicating whether the individuals have one or more commonly shared friends. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; receive an indication of a selection of at least one tagged face from an image; facilitate sending of a generated message to a device requesting identification of one or more commonly shared friends of at least two individuals in response to receipt of the selection of the tagged face that corresponds to one of the individuals; enable provision of display of visible indicia superimposed on the image denoting visual indications identifying one or more commonly shared friends of the individuals, the visual indications, superimposed on the image, of the commonly shared friends are associated with the selected tagged face within the image; determine a strength of relationship of at least one of the individuals and at least one of the commonly shared friends based in part on a comparison of a number of communications, between the at least one individual and the commonly shared friend, to a predetermined threshold; determine that the relationship is strong in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold; and determine that the relationship is weak in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications is less than the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code in response to execution by a processor causes an apparatus to:
-
receive an indication of a selection of at least one tagged face from an image; facilitate sending of a generated message to a device requesting identification of one or more commonly shared friends of at least two individuals in response to receipt of the selection of the tagged face that corresponds to one of the individuals; enable provision of display of visible indicia superimposed on the image denoting visual indications identifying one or more commonly shared friends of the individuals, the visual indications, superimposed on the image, of the commonly shared friends are associated with the selected tagged face within the image; determine a strength of relationship of at least one of the individuals and at least one of the commonly shared friends based in part on a comparison of a number of communications, between the at least one individual and the commonly shared friend, to a predetermined threshold; determine that the relationship is strong in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold; and determine that the relationship is weak in response to the comparison indicating that the number of communications is less than the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (16)
