A configurable, customizable privacy-protecting tool permits users to specify a personal/corporate privacy charter which is used to engage with digital service providers (DSPs) and similar entities. The privacy charter can be adapted to reflect individual and corporate goals and requirements for data treatment across a number of domains and in accordance with different standards/thresholds.

System and method for implementing a privacy policy

A data privacy protection tool operates on behalf of a user to effectuate countermeasures and protections for selected portions of their privacy data as provided to a digital service provider (DSP) sites/apps. The countermeasure can be tailored to increase and/or incentivize compliance by DSPs with distribution or access rules for the user data.

System and method for effectuating data countermeasures

An automated system tracks digital service providers (DSP) data management agreements, and user behavior, individually and in aggregate, to determine potential changes for a personal/corporate privacy charter. The personal/corporate privacy charter is thus dynamically adaptable to permit users to continue to engage seamlessly in accordance with user/corporate target goals with digital service providers (DSPs) and similar entities.

System and method for adjusting privacy policies

A data privacy protecting tool operates on behalf of a user to watermark or otherwise fingerprint selected data provided to a digital service provider (DSP) sites/apps. The watermarked data can then be used to monitor a DSP's compliance with distribution or access rules for the user data.

System and method for implementing user watermarks

A configurable, customizable privacy protecting software agent operates on behalf of a user to control the dissemination and use of the user's personal data. The software agent is guided by a personal/corporate privacy charter specified by the user (or an enterprise manager), which charter is adapted dynamically based on user and site conditions. The agent engages with digital service provider (DSP) sites/apps on users' behalf, and notifies them of privacy incompatibilities, issues, etc. associated with the DSPs, along with recommended alternatives if available or possible. The agent can also tag user data and monitor unauthorized uses to report on DSP compliance with user specified policies.

System and method for effectuating user access control

An automated system tracks digital service providers (DSP) data management agreements, DSP behavior, and user behavior, individually and in aggregate, to determine recommended alternatives for content/service sites/providers than those used by a user. The alternatives are selected based on their scoring and congruency or compliance with a user's target privacy data treatment parameters.

System and method for recommending alternative service providers

Approaches provide for updating information associated with points and/or objects of interest, such as businesses and other such entities. For example, an update service can analyze image data to determine visual features of a visual representation of a business. The visual features can be compared to information stored in a database. The information stored in the database can be derived from previously obtained image data that includes visual features corresponding to the business. A change in the visual representation of the business can be determined. The change might be due to, for example, a change in the business operating at that location which can result in a change in the visual appearance of the business; an update to business hours, contact information, or other information. Once the change is determined to at least a threshold amount, an event to update business information (e.g., the name of the business, contact information, images, etc.) of the business can be generated and provided to an appropriate service.

Update service in a distributed environment

Approaches provide for analyzing image data to determine and/or recognize text in the image data. The recognized text can be used to generate a search query that can be automatically submitted to a search engine without having to type the search query to identify a product (or related products) associated with the image. For example, a camera of a computing device can be used to capture a live camera view (or single images) an item. An application executing on the computing device (or at least in communication with the computing device) can analyze the image data of the live camera view to determine a set of keywords (e.g., identified text) based on visual features extracted from the image data. The keywords can be used to query an index of product titles, common search queries, among other indexed data to return a ranked list of search suggestions based on a relevance function. The relevance function can consider the ordering of the keywords to rank search suggestions more highly that contain the keywords having the same word order. Further, the relevance function can consider the confidence of the visual recognition of each keyword, the confidence of each search suggestion, customer impact, as well as other factors to determine the ranking of the search suggestions. The search suggestions can be further refined to ensure search results that the user will be more likely to view and/or purchase.

Visual search suggestions

Various approaches discussed herein enable augmenting an image of a person wearing an article of clothing to provide an augmented reality (i.e., virtual) article of clothing to a viewer in order to overlay, replace, and/or augment an actual article of clothing being worn by the user. The augmented reality article of clothing is positioned on the user's real-world piece of clothing according to various markings and/or data that allow the augmented reality article of clothing to appear as if it were being worn by the user, even during movement of the user.

Augmented reality fashion

Various approaches discussed herein enable providing a virtual reality experience of trying on clothes by augmenting an image of an article of clothing so that it appears to be worn by a particular person who is represented in a separate image. The image of the person wearing a special article of clothing containing a number of gridlines is analyzed along with an image of the special article of clothing as it appears unworn. The analysis includes calculating differences in the images to determine a change in the position of the gridlines between the images, then used to generate body shape data. The body shape data is used to augment an image of a prospective article of clothing, which modified image is then combined with the image of the person wearing a special article of clothing and displayed.
