COLLECTION FOLDER FOR COLLECTING FILE SUBMISSIONS USING FACIAL RECOGNITION AND A TOKEN
A content management system for collecting files from one or more submitters in a collection folder. A collector, who generates the collection folder, can invite one or more submitters to submit one or more files to the collection folder using facial recognition and a token from the collector. The one or more submitters have limited rights to the collection folder. The limited rights can include uploading rights and prohibiting a submitter from viewing files that other submitters associated with the collection folder submitted. Thus, the collection folder is able to store files from the one or more submitters, but prevent them from viewing other's submissions.
1 . A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving from a collector, by a content management system, a request to generate a link for use in collecting one or more files from one or more submitters;
in response to receiving the request, providing, by the content management system, one or more prompts requesting information from the collector,
receiving, by the content management system, information responding to the prompts;
generating, by the content management system, a link to a designated collection folder using at least some of the received information;
receiving, by the content management system from the collector, one or more files for storage in the designated collection folder;
running, by the content management system, facial recognition software against one or more of the stored files;
generating, by the content management system, a token based on responses from the collector identifying one or more people during the running of the facial recognition software;
distributing, by the content management system, the generated link and generated token to one or more submitters based on at least some of the received information,
wherein each of the one or more submitters has limited rights to the designated collection folder which comprises uploading rights for uploading one or more files to the designated collection folder and prohibits each of the one or more submitters from viewing files uploaded by other submitters of the one or more submitters associated with the designated collection folder.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the token is an event token based on recognizing people associated with a specific event.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the token is a global token based on recognizing people associated with a plurality of files stored in a plurality of folders.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the token includes metadata tags that are generated based on responses from the collector identifying one or more people during the running of the facial recognition software.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the content management system, at least one file from one or more submitters who access the distributed link and uses the token to identify the at least one file; and
storing, by the content management system, the at least one received file in the designated collection folder in an account associated with the collector.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the storing further comprises:
generating, by the content management system, a unique filename for each received file, with the filename including a name for the file request and information identifying the submitter; and
storing, by the content management system, the file and associating the unique filename with the file.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
reviewing, by the content management system, metadata tags associated with the stored one or more files to locate one or more objects that the token was trained for; and
notifying, by the content management system, the collector of the number of located one or more objects that the token was trained for.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the limited rights to the designated collection folder further comprise viewing rights allowing each of the one or more submitters to view files the submitter uploaded and one or more files designated by the collector.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more submitters does not have an account with the content management system.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the content management system is a synchronized content management system.
11 . A system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions store therein for causing a processor to:
receiving from a collector a request to generate a link for use in collecting one or more files from one or more submitters;
in response to receiving the request, providing, by the content management system, one or more prompts requesting information from the collector,
receiving information responding to the prompts;
generating a link to a designated collection folder using at least some of the received information;
receiving one or more files for storage in the designated collection folder;
running facial recognition software against one or more of the stored files;
generating a token based on responses from the collector identifying one or more people during the running of the facial recognition software;
distributing the generated link and generated token to one or more submitters based on at least some of the received information,
wherein each of the one or more submitters has limited rights to the designated collection folder which comprises uploading rights for uploading one or more files to the designated collection folder and prohibits each of the one or more submitters from viewing files uploaded by other submitters of the one or more submitters associated with the designated collection folder.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the token is an event token based on recognizing people associated with a specific event.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the token is a global token based on recognizing people associated with a plurality of files stored in a plurality of folders.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the token includes metadata tags that are generated based on responses from the collector identifying one or more people during the running of the facial recognition software.
15 . The system of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving at least one file from one or more submitters who access the distributed link and uses the token to identify the at least one file; and
storing the at least one received file in the designated collection folder in an account associated with the collector.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the storing further comprises:
generating a unique filename for each received file, with the filename including a name for the file request and information identifying the submitter; and
storing the file and associating the unique filename with the file.
17 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising:
reviewing metadata tags associated with the stored one or more files to locate one or more objects that the token was trained for; and
notifying the collector of the number of located one or more objects that the token was trained for.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the limited rights to the designated collection folder further comprise viewing rights allowing each of the one or more submitters to view files the submitter uploaded and one or more files designated by the collector.
19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the one or more submitters does not have an account with the content management system.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the content management system is a synchronized content management system.
