Abstract

A method for sharing a photograph between at least two users identified by a unique identifier on a network, the method comprising: a step of capturing a photograph by a first user; a step of extracting metadata from the photograph captured; a step of calculating a photograph interaction rating depending on data representative of the first user and each other user and on the extracted photograph metadata; a step of comparing the photograph interaction rating of the pairs of users to a first predefined limit value; if the photograph interaction rating is superior to the first predefined limit value, a step of initializing a contact between said users upon validation by the first user.

Claims (17)

1 . Method for sharing a photograph between at least two users each identified by a unique identifier on a network, the method comprising:

a step of capturing a photograph by a first user;

a step of extracting metadata from the photograph captured;

a step of calculating a photograph interaction rating depending on data representative of the first user and each other user and on the extracted photograph metadata;

a step of comparing the photograph interaction rating of the pairs of users to a first predefined limit value;

if the photograph interaction rating is superior to the first predefined limit value, a step of initializing a contact between said users.

2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein extracted metadata from the photograph comprises data representative of a timestamp and/or a geolocation.

3 . Method according to claim 2 , wherein the interaction rating comprises a decreasing function of the time elapsed since the photograph was captured.

4 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein extracted metadata from the photograph comprises data representative of the content of the photograph.

5 . Method according to claim 4 , wherein the step of extracting comprises a step of applying a facial recognition algorithm to the photograph, and wherein the interaction rating of pairs of users wherein at least one user has been recognized is increased.

6 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein extracted metadata from the photograph comprises data representative of at least one action performed by a user with regards to the photograph.

7 . Method according to claim 6 , wherein each action performed by a user with regards to the photograph increases the interaction rating of pairs of users wherein one user is the user performing the action.

8 . Method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of calculating a social proximity between the users of a pair, the interaction rating of the pair of user depending on the social proximity calculated.

9 . Method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of displaying on a terminal of the first user, a representation of each user for which the photograph interaction rating is superior to the first predefined limit value.

10 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the initialized contact is a message sent to the other user of a pair depending on the photograph metadata.

11 . Method according to claim 10 , further comprising a step of applying a machine learning algorithm to elaborate the message, the machine learning algorithm being applied to at least one parameter representative of a user habit in relation to contact messages.

12 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of initializing a contact is upon validation by the first user.
