Method and apparatus for tagging media with identity of creator or scene

摘要

An electronic device for contemporaneously obtaining, with a processor connected to a memory, a forward image from a forward facing camera of the electronic device and a rear image from a rear facing camera of the electronic device, and embedding the rear image in the forward image or the forward image in the rear image, thereby creating a composite image. Optionally, the rear image is embedded as a watermark in the forward image thereby creating the composite image. Alternatively, the rear image is steganographically embedded in the forward image thereby creating the composite image.

主权项

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
a forward facing camera; a rear facing camera; a memory storing computer instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the forward facing camera, and the rear facing camera, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the computer instructions, performs operations comprising:
contemporaneously obtaining a forward image from the forward facing camera and a rear image comprising an image of a user of the portable electronic device from the rear facing camera;embedding one of the rear image in the forward image and the forward image in the rear image, thereby creating a composite image;performing, with the processor of the portable electronic device and in response to the contemporaneously obtaining the forward image and the rear image, face recognition analysis on the rear image to generate recognition information of the user of the portable electronic device;based on at least the face recognition analysis of the rear image, determining that the user is not an owner of the composite image; andbased on the determining that the user is not an owner of the composite image, storing in a secured location that only an authorized user may access in the memory the recognition information associated with at least one of the forward image and the composite image, and wherein the determining being based on a match failing to exist between the recognition information and an item on an authorized user list of the portable electronic device.
