Computer-implemented system and method for notifying users upon the occurrence of an event
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a system comprising at least one processor during an upload session for a set of images, that first content of an uploaded image of the set of images satisfies a measure of similarity with second content of a previously uploaded image of the set of images; and
in response to the detecting;
determining, by the system, a time that has elapsed since a previous notification was sent to at least one recipient of a set of recipients associated with the upload session; and
initiating, by the system, sending of a notification of the upload session to the at least one recipient in response to the time satisfying a condition.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an event detector configured to detect, as a session transition, that first content of an uploaded image, of a set of images being uploaded to a server as part of an upload session, satisfies a measure of similarity with second content of a previously uploaded image of the set of images; and a notifier configured to send, in response to detection of the session transition, a notification to at least one party of a set of parties associated with the upload session in response to a determination that a time, which has elapsed since a previous notification was sent to the at least one party, satisfies a condition with respect to a duration defined by a notification frequency setting associated with the at least one party. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable storage device having stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system to perform operations, comprising:
-
detecting that first content of a first image uploaded to a network device is similar, according to a defined measure, to second content of a second image uploaded prior to uploading of the first image during an uploading session; determining, in response to the detecting, an elapsed time since a previous notification was sent to a recipient; and generating a notification for the recipient in response to the elapsed time exceeding a duration indicated by a notification frequency setting associated with the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
