Abstract

A computer implemented method to present digital images may include storing a digital image in a database and applying a digital image processing technique to the digital image to identify a region of interest of the digital image. The method may also include storing region data that identifies the region of interest of the digital image in the database and receiving a request for information associated with the digital image from a digital device. In response to the request, the method may include providing the digital image and the region data for transmission to the digital device, the digital device configured to adjust a cropping view of the digital image based on the region data to display the region of interest of the digital image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media configured to store instructions that when executed by one or more processing systems performs operations to present digital images, the operations comprising:
store a digital image in a hierarchical level of a plurality of hierarchical levels in a database, each of the plurality of hierarchical levels associated with a different one of a plurality of digital image processing techniques;
select a digital image processing technique of the plurality of digital image processing techniques for the digital image, the selected digital image processing technique selected based on the digital image being stored in the hierarchical level and the selected digital image processing technique being associated with the hierarchical level;
apply the selected digital image processing technique to the digital image to identify a region of interest of the digital image, the selected digital image processing technique maintaining the digital image unchanged;
store region data that identifies the region of interest of the digital image in the database;
receive a request for information associated with the digital image from a digital device; and
in response to the request, provide the digital image and the region data for transmission to the digital device, the digital device configured to adjust a cropping view of the digital image based on the region data to display the region of interest of the digital image and to maintain the digital image unchanged.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the selected digital image processing technique includes facial recognition processing.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein in response to the request for information, presentation code is provided with the digital image and the region data, the presentation code configured to cause a web browser of the digital device to adjust the cropping view of the digital image based on the region data and information provided by the web browser about the digital device.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 1 , wherein the region data includes one or more coordinates on the digital image that correspond to the region of interest of the digital image.

5. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media configured to store instructions that when executed by one or more processing systems performs operations to present digital images, the operations comprising:
store a digital image in a hierarchical level of a plurality of hierarchical levels in a database;
apply a digital image processing technique to the digital image to identify a region of interest of the digital image, each of the plurality of hierarchical levels is associated with a different one of a plurality of digital image processing techniques;
store region data that identifies the region of interest of the digital image in the database;
receive a request for information associated with the digital image from a digital device; and
in response to the request, provide the digital image and the region data for transmission to the digital device, the digital device configured to adjust a cropping view of the digital image based on the region data to display the region of interest of the digital image.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise select the digital image processing technique of the plurality of digital image processing techniques for the digital image, the digital image processing technique selected based on the digital image being stored in the hierarchical level and the digital image processing technique being associated with the hierarchical level.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein the digital image processing technique includes facial recognition processing.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein in response to the request for information, presentation code is provided with the digital image and the region data, the presentation code configured to cause a web browser of the digital device to adjust the cropping view of the digital image based on the region data and information provided by the web browser about the digital device.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the presentation code is further configured to direct the web browser to maintain the digital image unchanged.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein the digital image processing technique maintains the digital image unchanged.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 5 , wherein the region data includes one or more coordinates on the digital image that correspond to the region of interest of the digital image.

12. A computer implemented method to present digital images, the method comprising:
storing a digital image in a hierarchical level of a plurality of hierarchical levels in a database;
applying a digital image processing technique to the digital image to identify a region of interest of the digital image, each of the plurality of hierarchical levels is associated with a different one of a plurality of digital image processing techniques;
storing region data that identifies the region of interest of the digital image in the database;
receiving a request for information associated with the digital image from a digital device; and
in response to the request, providing the digital image and the region data for transmission to the digital device, the digital device configured to adjust a cropping view of the digital image based on the region data to display the region of interest of the digital image.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising selecting the digital image processing technique of the plurality of digital image processing techniques for the digital image, the digital image processing technique selected based on the digital image being stored in the hierarchical level and the digital image processing technique being associated with the hierarchical level.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the digital image processing technique maintains the digital image unchanged.

15. The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the digital image processing technique includes facial recognition processing.

16. The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein in response to the request for information, presentation code is provided with the digital image and the region data, the presentation code configured to cause a web browser of the digital device to adjust the cropping view of the digital image based on the region data and information provided by the web browser about the digital device.

17. The computer implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the presentation code is further configured to direct the web browser to maintain the digital image unchanged.

18. The computer implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the region data includes one or more coordinates on the digital image that correspond to the region of interest of the digital image.
