Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
validating, by a first user equipment comprising a processor and addressable memory, a digital media via performing a facial detection check on the digital media to determine whether any faces are present in the digital media;
transmitting, by the first user equipment, the digital media based on whether the facial detection check determined that one or more faces are present in the digital media;
receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor and addressable memory, the transmitted digital media from the first user equipment;
performing, by the computing device, facial recognition check on the received digital media, wherein the facial recognition is performed via facial image comparison of the received digital media and a set of one or more facial images previously associated with a set of user equipment;
transmitting, by the computing device, the digital media to a subset of user equipment from the set of user equipment wherein the subset of user equipment is determined based on a successful identification of a facial image associated with that user equipment in the received media file;
receiving, by each of the user equipment in the subset of user equipment, the digital media;
determining, by each of the user equipment in the subset of user equipment, whether there is a successful match via locally performing a facial recognition check on the received media file and matching at least one facial image in the received media file with at least one locally stored facial image associated with that user equipment;
transmitting, by the user equipment in the subset of second user equipment having a successful match, a signal to the computing device;
receiving, by the computing device, the signal indicating whether a match was found; and
determining, by the computing device, an updated subset of one or more user equipment based on receiving the signal that a match was successfully found;
associating, by the computing device, the digital media with the updated determined subset of one or more user equipment thereby photographs or videos not containing any faces and not matching any users are skipped in order to save bandwidth and data usage by the user equipment and reduce processing time by the computing device in order to increase performance and speed of processing.
