Retrieving contact information based on image recognition searches

摘要

A system and method for retrieving contact information based on image recognition searches is disclosed. A requestor takes a picture of a user or retrieves a storage image of a user and transmits the image to an image recognition module. The image recognition module identifies the user and determines whether the requestor can receive access to the user's contact information based on permission rules. For example, the permission rule includes a requirement that the user and the requestor be sufficiently related on a social graph generated by a social network application. The permission rules can also include a requirement that the requestor have a predetermined proximity to the image. Once the permission rules are satisfied, the image recognition module transmits the user's contact information to the requestor.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting contact information to a requestor comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, from a requestor an image of at least one user; identifying, by the one or more processors, the user in the image; retrieving, by the one or more processors, permission rules associated with the identified user, the permission rules indicating a predetermined threshold of proximity between a location of the user and a location of the requester to be satisfied before the contact information is transmitted, wherein the proximity is determined by a comparison between a first audio sample taken by a device associated with the requestor and a second audio sample taken by a device associated with the user; determining, by the one or more processors, whether the permission rules are satisfied and that the requestor has permission to access the contact information; and responsive to satisfying the permission rules, transmitting, by the one or more processors, the contact information to the requestor.
