Claim One:
1. A device comprising: a control system comprising a processor and a memory storing program codes operable to: detect a viewer in proximity to a display; obtain a subject affinity for each of a plurality of other subjects that appear in a plurality of images, the subject affinity defining a subject affinity score between the viewer and a corresponding one of the plurality of other subjects, the other subjects corresponding to subjects other than the viewer, wherein a social relationship is inferred from subject face co-occurrence between the viewer and the plurality of other subjects in the plurality of images based on identifying subject face co-occurrence instances between the viewer and the plurality of other subjects appearing in a same image in the plurality of images, and wherein a higher number of subject face co-occurrences between the viewer and an other subject is indicative of a closer social relationship and a higher subject affinity; obtain an image affinity for each image in the plurality of images based on the subject affinity for the plurality of other subjects, the image affinity defining an image affinity score between the viewer and each image in the plurality of images based on the other subjects appearing in the plurality of images; select, by the device, based on image affinity for each of the plurality of images, a sequence of images from the plurality of images; select, by the device, one or more images from the sequence of images that are to be presented subsequent to a current image to form one or more analysis window images; and determine updated subject information from the one or more analysis window images, the updated subject information comprising subject representations of those subjects appearing in the one or more analysis window images; and electronic video circuitry, coupled to the control system, operable to: effect presentation of the current image from the sequence of images in a first area of the display, wherein only the current image from the sequence of images is presented during a presentation period; and effect presentation of the updated subject information in a second area of the display.
