Policy-based image management
First Claim
1. A method for managing an image comprising:
- receiving a set of images at a social networking site;
determining whether a particular person is present in a subset of the set of images using a facial recognition on the set of images;
responsive to a determination that the particular person is present in the subset of the set of images, identifying a policy for the particular person;
determining whether a second particular person is present in the subset of the set of images using the facial recognition on the set of images, wherein the policy indicates that the particular person is permitted to be present in the subset of the plurality of images with the second particular person;
determining whether presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy; and
responsive to a determination that the presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy, performing a removal action of the particular person on the subset of the set of images.

Abstract
The different illustrative embodiments provide a method, computer program product, and apparatus for managing an image. A determination is made whether an object is present in a subset of a plurality of images using an identification of the object. A determination is made whether the object is permitted to be present in the subset of the plurality of images using the policy for the user associated with the object responsive to a determination that the object is present in the subset of the plurality of images using a policy for a user associated with the object. A removal action of the object is performed on the subset of the plurality of images responsive to an absence of a determination that the object is permitted to be present in the subset of the plurality of images using the policy.

13. A computer program product device for managing an image, the computer program product device comprising:
-
a computer recordable storage medium; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for receiving a set of images at a social networking site; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for determining whether a particular person is present in a subset of the set of images using a facial recognition on the set of images; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for identifying a policy for the particular person responsive to a determination that the particular person is present in the subset of the set of images; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for determining whether a second particular person is present in the subset of the set of images using the facial recognition on the set of images, wherein the policy indicates that the particular person is permitted to be present in the subset of the plurality of images with the second particular person; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for determining whether presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy; program instructions, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for performing a removal action of the particular person on the subset of the set of images responsive to a determination that the presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. An apparatus comprising:
-
a bus system; a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device includes program code; and a processor unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processor unit processes the program code to receive a set of images at a social networking site;
to determine whether a particular person is present in a subset of the set of images using a facial recognition on the set of images;
responsive to a determination that the particular person is present in the subset of the set of images, identifying a policy for the particular person;
to determine whether a second particular person is present in the subset of the set of images using the facial recognition on the set of images, wherein the policy indicates that the particular person is permitted to be present in the subset of the plurality of images with the second particular person;
to determine whether presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy; and
to perform a removal action of the particular person on the subset of the set of images responsive to a determination that the presence of the particular person in the subset of the set of images violates the policy.
