Abstract

Systems, methods, devices, computer readable instruction media, and other embodiments are described for automated image processing and insight presentation. One embodiment involves receiving a plurality of ephemeral content messages from a plurality of client devices, and processing the messages to identify content associated with at least a first content type. A set of analysis data associated with the first content type is then generated from the messages, and portions of the messages associated with the first content type are processed to generate a first content collection. The first content collection and the set of analysis data are then communicated to a client device configured for a display interface comprising the first content collection and a representation of at least a portion of the set of analysis data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
processing a plurality of content messages to identify content type values for at least one image of each message of the plurality of content messages;
determining account demographic information for each message of the plurality of content messages;
updating a set of metrics associated with corresponding content types associated with the content type values using the account demographic information; and
restricting access to at least a portion of a set of analysis data based on a determination that a number of client accounts associated with the portion of the set of analysis data is less than a threshold number, where the threshold number is associated with a determination that the demographic information is not sufficiently anonymous if the number of client accounts is less than the threshold number.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, at a server from a plurality of client devices, the plurality of content messages;
processing, by the server, the plurality of content messages to identify a set of content messages associated with a first content type;
generating, from the set of content messages, a set of analysis data associated with the first content type;
processing a portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with the first content type; and
initiating communication of the first content collection and the set of analysis data configured for a display interface comprising the first content collection and a representation of at least a portion of the set of analysis data on a first client device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining time and location for each message of the plurality of content messages.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising processing a portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with a first content type by analyzing the portion of the set of content messages to generate a quality value of for each piece of content of the portion of the set of content messages.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the quality value for each piece of content is based on an audio quality value and one or more image quality values.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining that a content timer for a first piece of content of the first content collection has expired; and
removing the first piece of content from the first content collection based on expiration of the content timer for the first piece of content.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
analyzing an updated a set of content messages associated with the first content type; and
updating the first content collection using updated content from the updated set of content messages, wherein the updated set of content messages is generated after expiration of the content timer.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
processing the portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with a first content type by presenting content from the plurality of content messages associated with the first content type to an administrator via a curation tool; and
generating the first content collection based on input selections received at the curation tool for the content from the plurality of content messages.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first content type comprises a brand association for a first brand, and wherein the brand association is identified by a logo image for the first brand or text for the first brand.

10. A system comprising:
one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
processing a plurality of content messages to identify content type values for at least one image of each message of the plurality of content messages;
determining account demographic information for each message of the plurality of content messages;
updating a set of metrics associated with corresponding content types associated with the content type values using the account demographic information; and
restricting access to at least a portion of a set of analysis data based on a determination that a number of client accounts associated with the portion of the set of analysis data is less than a threshold number, where the threshold number is associated with a determination that the demographic information is not sufficiently anonymous if the number of client accounts is less than the threshold number.

11. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, at a server from a plurality of client devices, the plurality of content messages;
processing, by the server, the plurality of content messages to identify a set of content messages associated with a first content type;
generating, from the set of content messages, a set of analysis data associated with the first content type;
processing a portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with the first content type; and
initiating communication of the first content collection and the set of analysis data configured for a display interface comprising the first content collection and a representation of at least a portion of the set of analysis data on a first client device.

12. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising:
determining time and location for each message of the plurality of content messages.

13. The system of claim 10 , the operations further comprising processing a portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with a first content type by analyzing the portion of the set of content messages to generate a quality value of for each piece of content of the portion of the set of content messages.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the quality value for each piece of content is based on an audio quality value and one or more image quality values.

15. The system of claim 10 , the operations comprising processing a portion of the set of content messages to generate a first content collection associated with a first content type comprises analyzing the portion of the set of content messages to generate a quality value of for each piece of content of the portion of the set of content messages; and
wherein the quality value for each piece of content is based on an audio quality value and one or more image quality values.

16. The system of claim 15 , the operations comprising:
determining that a content timer for a first piece of content of the first content collection has expired;
removing the first piece of content from the first content collection based on expiration of the content timer for the first piece of content;
analyzing an updated a set of content messages associated with the first content type;
updating the first content collection using updated content from the updated set of content messages, wherein the updated set of content messages is generated in response to expiration of the content timer.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a server computer, cause the server computer to perform operations comprising:
processing a plurality of content messages to identify content type values for at least one image of each message of the plurality of content messages;
determining account demographic information for each message of the plurality of content messages;
updating a set of metrics associated with corresponding content types associated with the content t
