Title: Automated tagging of photo images
Inventor: LEFEUVRE EDYTHE P
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: With the advent of the digital camera and memory media that can hold thousan ds of images, the consumer is faced with the task of searching through many thousands of images to select images that are appropriate for his or her needs. The selection of photo images based on both content and quality can be made considerably easier for the consumer through the implementation of an automated tagging algorithm. The characteristics of an image can be detected and classified in an automat ed process. An image is processed and features of the image are extracted. Thes e features and the values associated with them are examined by classification algorithms ("classifiers") that achieve the detection of specific image characteristics. Image characteristics include but are not limited to the presence of objects, lighting environments and image quality. These characteristics can be combined with metadata available from EXIF fil es or the like produced by the camera used to capture the image. Automated learning capability is included in the automated tagging algorith m. The algorithm can learn based on frequent user behavior by developing a user profile, including but not limited to information regarding frequently used camera models, camera settings, lighting environments and subject matter. The user profile permits the algorithm to make tagging decisions with greater accurac y. Each tag is described as a combination of image characteristics, metadata an d user profile data (where a combination may be based on a minimum of one image characteristic or one item of metadata or one item of user profile data). The characteristics, metadata and user profile data associated with an image are compared to a database of tags in which each tag corresponds to a specific combination of characteristics, metadata and user profile data. An image is automatically assigned all of the tags described by the characteristics, metadata and user profile data associated with the image.

Abstract: Image integrity in an archive can be verified using document characteristics. Embodiments of the invention provide a way to verify the integrity of a stored document image by determining document characteristics, which can also be embedded in the image file. Before allowing access to the image file by an application, the characteristics data from an image analysis can be compared to either or both of, characteristics information otherwise stored, or embedded characteristics data. The embedded data can optionally be encrypted. In example embodiments the data can include a result of an optical character recognition of contents of the document, a length of data describing the image, a percentage of a specified color of pixels in the image, or a checksum. Example embedding techniques can include those making use of a tagged image file format (TIFF) header, a steganographic watermark, or an image artifact.

Title: Telecommunications calls with transfer of additional data
Inventor: CLAXTON ROBERT MICHAEL
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2007-02-28
Abstract: A user accesses a destination such as a call centre 6; the call centre generates a record for insertion into the user's personal address book (e.g. at server 3) with a telephone number of the centre 6 and metadata concerning a transaction. To place a later call on the same matter, the user selects, either using his telephone or via a separate terminal, the address book entry and the call is made. The centre 6 receives the user's telephone number via the calling line identity (CLI) and translates this (at 8) into a data address whereby it can "pull" the metadata from the personal address book at 3. Alternatively the server 3 can translate the centre's telephone number into a data address to "push" the metadata to the centre.
