PROVIDING SUBJECT INFORMATION REGARDING UPCOMING IMAGES ON A DISPLAY

Methods are described for presenting in a user interface information regarding the subject faces that will appear in upcoming images. In general, many of the images available to display will be comprised of images containing subject faces. Based on a subject affinity score between the viewer and the subjects, and image affinity is computed. Based on the image affinity scores, images are selected for presentation on the display. As images are displayed, the system analyzes some portion of the upcoming images to determine the subject information to display. As each image is displayed, subject information comprised of the subjects face and subject prominence information may be shown in an area of the display adjacent to the current image. The subject prominence information may be determined as a function of a face size ratio value and a zone value.
