Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a first user depicted in image content captured by a second user. It is determined that the first user should be obscured in the image content based on privacy settings. The image content is modified to obscure the first user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying, by a computing system, a first user depicted in image content captured by a second user; determining, by the computing system, that the first user should be obscured in the image content based on privacy settings; and modifying, by the computing system, the image content to obscure the first user.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the image content comprises a camera view of a camera application on a user device.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the image content comprises an image or a video being uploaded to a social networking system by the second user.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first user is identified based on automated facial recognition techniques.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the privacy settings comprise privacy settings associated with the first user on a social networking system.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the privacy settings associated with the first user on the social networking system comprise a social graph requirement.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the determining that the first user should be obscured comprises determining that the second user is not a connection or a connection of a connection of the first user on the social networking system.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the privacy settings comprise privacy settings associated with the second user on a social networking system.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the determining that the first user should be obscured comprises determining that the first user is not a connection or a connection of a connection of the second user on the social networking system.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein
the privacy settings comprise a location-based privacy setting, and the determination that the first user should be obscured is made based on location information associated with the image content.

11 . A system comprising:
at least one processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform a method comprising:
identifying a first user depicted in image content captured by a second user;
determining that the first user should be obscured in the image content based on privacy settings; and
modifying the image content to obscure the first user.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the image content comprises a camera view of a camera application on a user device.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the image content comprises an image or a video being uploaded to a social networking system by the second user.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the first user is identified based on automated facial recognition techniques.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the privacy settings comprise privacy settings associated with the first user on a social networking system.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
identifying a first user depicted in image content captured by a second user; determining that the first user should be obscured in the image content based on privacy settings; and modifying the image content to obscure the first user.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the image content comprises a camera view of a camera application on a user device.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the image content comprises an image or a video being uploaded to a social networking system by the second user.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the first user is identified based on automated facial recognition techniques.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the privacy settings comprise privacy settings associated with the first user on a social networking system.
