Dynamic picture sizing based on user access criteria
Aspects of the invention include intercepting a rendering of a picture at a website, the picture uploaded to a server of the website by a content provider. Access criteria associated with a user at a user device is determined. The access criteria includes a relationship between the user and one or both of the content provider and content of the picture. A resolution of a modified rendering of the picture is determined based at least in part on the access criteria. The modified rendering of the picture is generated based at least in part on the resolution. The modified rendering of the picture is displayed at the user device.
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
intercepting, using a processing system, a rendering of a picture at a web site, the picture uploaded to a server of the website by a content provider;
determining using the processing system, a resolution of a modified rendering of the picture for display at a user device of a user, the determining a resolution based at least in part on past viewing behavior of the user, the past viewing behavior of the user including a first amount of time previously spent by the user at the website during a first time of day and a second amount of time previously spent by the user at the website during a second time of day, the first amount of time shorter than the second amount of time, wherein based on the intercepting occurring during the first time of day it is determined that the resolution is a first resolution and based on the intercepting occurring during the second time of day it is determined that the resolution is a second resolution that is higher than the first;
generating, using the processing system, the modified rendering of the picture based at least in part on the resolution; and
displaying the modified rendering of the picture at the user device.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
intercepting a request from the user to view a larger size of the picture; and
generating a second modified rendering of the picture that is at a higher resolution than the resolution of the modified rendering.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a resolution is further based at least in part on content of the picture and the content of the picture includes a person.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a resolution is further based at least in part on content of the picture and the content of the picture includes a subject.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a resolution is further based at least in part on a relationship between the user and one or both of the content provider and content of the picture are received from the user device.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the determining a resolution is further based at least in part on system constraints.
