Graphical image retrieval based on emotional state of a user of a computing device

Abstract

A computing device is described that includes a camera configured to capture an image of a user of the computing device, a memory configured to store the image of the user, at least one processor, and at least one module. The at least one module is operable by the at least one processor to obtain, from the memory, an indication of the image of the user of the computing device, determine, based on the image, a first emotion classification tag, and identify, based on the first emotion classification tag, at least one graphical image from a database of pre-classified images that has an emotional classification that is associated with the first emotion classification tag. The at least one module is further operable by the at least one processor to output, for display, the at least one graphical image.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 obtaining, by a computing device, an indication of an image of a user of the computing device;   determining, by the computing device, based on the image, a first emotion classification tag;   identifying, by the computing device, at least one graphical image from a database of pre-classified images with an emotional classification that is associated with the first emotion classification tag; and   outputting, by the computing device, for display, the at least one graphical image.
