METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING A SUBSET FOR AUTONOMOUS SHARING OF DIGITAL MEDIA

Methods, systems, and devices for determining a subset of user devices (115, 120) from among a complete set of user devices (110, 115, 120) based on a set of received information, i.e., attributes (513, 516) associated with a photograph (514) or user device (110) that transmitted the photograph (514) and attributes (513, 516), where the disposition of the information may be used to determine the subset and then perform facial recognition (265) on the subset of user associated photographs in order to accurately identify each user or users present in the photograph (514).
