Systems and methods for screenshot linking
A system for analyzing screenshots can include a computing device including a processor coupled to a memory and a display screen configured to display content. The system can include an application stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The application can include a screenshot receiver configured to access, from storage to which a screenshot of the content displayed on the display screen captured using a screenshot function of the computing device is stored, the screenshot including an image and a predetermined marker. The application can include a marker detector configured to detect the predetermined marker included in the screenshot. The application can include a link identifier configured to identify, using the predetermined marker, a link to a resource mapped to the image included in the screenshot, the resource accessible by the computing device via the link.
1. A computer-implemented method using at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one storage device, the method comprising:
receiving, by the at least one processor, image data from a client device associated with a user;
processing, by the at least one processor, the image data to extract at least one image;
updating, by the at least one processor, a counter associated with a content item, the content item corresponding to the at least one image, the counter indicating a popularity of the content item by tracking a number of times image data from a plurality of client devices includes the content item;
providing, by the at least one processor, the updated counter to the client device;
identifying, by the at least one processor, a link associated with the at least one image;
displaying, by the at least one processor, a notification that includes the link associated with the at least one image;
receiving, by the at least one processor, a selection of the link; and
in response to the receiving the selection, displaying, by the at least one processor, a page containing one or more images matching the at least one image included in the image data.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the at least one processor, the image data from an image database.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the receiving the image data includes continuously or periodically monitoring the image database for new image data.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
matching, by the at least one processor, the at least one image to a reference image that corresponds to an account of a content provider;
determining, by the at least one processor, a reference link associated with the reference image; and
associating, by the at least one processor, the reference link with the image data.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, by the at least one processor, a purchase page to allow the user to purchase a product displayed in the at least one image.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the page is an original page that was displayed on the client device when the image data was captured.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the image data is stored on a camera roll of the client device.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the image data includes a photo or a screenshot.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selection of the link comprises selecting a product recommendation associated with the link.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the page includes an original post from which the image data was taken or a product webpage.
11. A system for analyzing image data comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving the image data from a client device associated with a user;
processing the image data to extract at least one image;
updating a counter associated with a content item, the content item corresponding to the at least one image, the counter indicating a popularity of the content item by tracking a number of times image data from a plurality of client devices includes the content item;
providing the updated counter to the client device;
identifying a link associated with the at least one image;
displaying a notification that includes the link associated with the at least one image;
receiving a selection of the link; and
in response to the receiving the selection, displaying a page containing one or more images matching the at least one image included in the image data.
12. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
matching the at least one image to a reference image that corresponds to an account of a content provider;
determining a reference link associated with the reference image; and
associating the reference link with the image data.
13. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
providing a purchase page to allow the user to purchase a product displayed in the at least one image.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the page is an original post that was displayed on the client device when the image data was captured.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the image data is stored on a camera roll of the client device.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the image data includes a photo or a screenshot.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving image data from a client device associated with a user;
processing the image data to extract at least one image;
updating a counter associated with a content item, the content item corresponding to the at least one image, the counter indicating a popularity of the content item by tracking a number of times image data from a plurality of client devices includes the content item;
providing the updated counter to the client device;
identifying a link associated with the at least one image;
displaying a notification that includes the link associated with the at least one image;
receiving a selection of the link; and
in response to the receiving the selection, displaying a page containing one or more images matching the at least one image included in the image data.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the page is an original post that was displayed on the client device when the image data was captured.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the image data is stored on a camera roll of the client device.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the image data includes a photo or a screenshot.
