Methods and systems are provided for collecting, storing, and transmitting account information in a matchable form, and for using this information to quickly set up accounts. Account information is maintained and shared between one or more client devices and an intermediate server. Account information can be reconciled locally to determine whether to add or enable an active account or an account proxy to a client device. Account proxies can be quickly enabled by a single user action. The methods and systems allow enabled accounts and account proxies to be removed from a first client device without propagating the deletion to a second client device.

Systems and methods are provided for receiving image data via a camera of a computing device, the image data comprising a plurality of image frames; displaying a 3D reconstruction of the image data on a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a computing device as the image data is received and the 3D reconstruction of the image data is generated; detecting at least one object corresponding to one or more of a plurality of predefined object types in the image data; determining dimensions of the at least one object in 3D space based on the 3D reconstruction of the image data; and displaying in the GUI the at least one detected object.

Dynamic image capture system

Resource restrictions are associated with a user identifier. A resource restriction agent receives operating system calls related for resources and provides resource request data to a resource agent. The resource agent determines whether the resource is restricted based on the resource request data and resource restriction data and generates access data based on the determination. The resource restriction agent grants or denies the system call based on the access data.

Methods and apparatuses to filter multimedia content are described. The multimedia content in one embodiment is analyzed for one or more parameters. The multimedia content in one embodiment is filtered based on the one or more parameters using a latent semantic mapping ('LSM') filter. In one embodiment, the one or more parameters include information about a structure of the multimedia content. A tag that encapsulates the one or more parameters may be generated. Then, the tag is input into the latent semantic mapping filter. In one embodiment, the LSM filter is trained to recognize the multimedia content based on the one or more parameters. In one embodiment, more than two categories are provided for a multimedia content. The multimedia content is classified in more than two categories using the LSM filter. The multimedia content may be blocked based on the classifying.

Apparatus, methods and systems for creating mosaics are described. A method is provided that includes identifying an image for presentation as a mosaic; dividing the identified image into a plurality of tiles; scoring each tile; identifying a matching image from an image dataset using the score for each tile; and rendering the mosaic using the matching images.
