Facial Recognition Filter for Restricting Access to Photographs - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240037280 titled 'Facial Recognition Filter for Restricting Access to Photographs

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that uses biometric information, specifically facial recognition technology, to restrict access to digital photographs on a network platform. The system includes a user interface screen on a user device that allows the user to control the filtering system. The user can provide a digital photograph of a protected person and specify the photograph collections to which the filter should be applied. The system applies appropriate restrictions to photographs from the selected collections that include the protected person.

  • The system uses biometric information, specifically facial recognition technology, to restrict access to digital photographs.
  • A user interface screen on a user device allows the user to control the filtering system.
  • The user can provide a digital photograph of a protected person.
  • The user can specify the photograph collections to which the filter should be applied.
  • The system applies appropriate restrictions to photographs from the selected collections that include the protected person.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • School websites: Restrict access to digital photographs of students to authorized individuals.
  • Company portals: Control access to digital photographs of employees to ensure privacy and security.
  • Social networks: Allow users to restrict access to their digital photographs to specific individuals or groups.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Unauthorized access to digital photographs can be prevented, ensuring privacy and security.
  • Users have control over who can view their digital photographs, protecting their personal information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced privacy and security for digital photographs.
  • Increased control over who can access and view digital photographs.
  • Simplified management of access restrictions for digital photographs.


Original Abstract Submitted

biometric information, such as facial recognition technology, can be used to execute a filter to restrict access to digital photographs via a network platform such as a school website, a company portal, or a social network. a user interface screen of a user device may be implemented in connection with allowing a user to control the associated filtering system. the user can use interface element to provide a digital photograph of the protected person. optionally, the interface may include a further element for identifying the photograph collections to which the filter should be applied. finally, the interface includes a button for applying the filter. upon application of the filter, appropriate restrictions are applied with respect to photographs from the selected collections that include the protected person.
