Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for disambiguating clustered location identifiers. A location identifier can be the name of a business or establishment. Digital assets contain a plurality of metadata that can be used to identify the location or establishment at which digital assets were captured. Techniques can use various types contextual information based on a category of the digital asset for disambiguation. Automatically labelling the digital assets assists a user in organizing and sharing the digital assets with friends and family. Users can search for digital assets by the name of the location where the digital assets were captured.

Techniques for disambiguating clustered location identifiers

The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.

Media browsing user interface with intelligently selected representative media items

In some implementations, a computing device may generate a day view, month views, and year view that show cards specific to each view. The cards include images, videos, and/or other assets from a media library that reflect a corresponding time frame of the card on which the assets are displayed. A selected view is presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) for interaction with a user of the media library. Upon selection of an asset displayed to the GUI, the view is switched to show more assets from a time frame similar to the selected asset while maintaining a focus on the selected asset.

Curated media library

Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for presenting a user interface that allows a user to quickly and easily filter and search a digital asset collection. The disclosed techniques allow for rapid recall of desired digital assets, linking assets into logical collections, and an overall improved user experience. The zero keyword/contextual keyword feature presents multimedia content icons and searchable keywords to allow a user to search the digital asset collection simply by tapping on one of these keywords. The top auto completion feature auto-completes suggestions in the search field based on various heuristics to ensure the method produces diverse and relevant results. The next keyword suggestion feature predicts a next search term based on learned properties about the digital asset collection.

Digital asset search user interface

Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for disambiguating clustered occurrence identifiers. Digital assets contain a plurality of metadata that can be used to identify the occurrence or event during which the digital asset was captured. Techniques can use various types contextual information based on a category of the digital asset for disambiguation. Events can occur at various locations, over a dispersed area and it can be challenging to automatically identify and label the digital assets with the identification of the event. Automatically labelling the digital assets assists user in organizing and sharing the digital assets with friends and family. Users can search for events by event name, performer name, and category.
