Inventorying items using image data

Abstract

A method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for generating and maintaining a catalogue of belongings for a user. The method includes the steps of receiving image data from a user, the image data containing images of one or more items of belonging; identifying one or more items from the image data, determining information regarding the identified one or more items, and adding at least one of the identified one or more items and information regarding the at least one of the identified one or more items to a catalogue of belonging for the user.

         21 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by a first computing device and from a second computing device associated with a user, one or more images;   performing, by the first computing device, object recognition on the one or more images to identify one or more items within the one or more images;   validating, by the first computing device and based on first geographical data associated with the one or more images and second geographical data associated with the user, the one or more items;   determining, by the first computing device, additional data associated with the one or more items; and   storing, by the first computing device, data identifying the one or more items and the additional data in a catalogue associated with the user.   
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the first geographical data comprises one or more geo tags within the one or more images. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the second geographical data comprises locational data associated with a dwelling of the user. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the second geographical data comprises locational data associated with the second computing device. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the additional data is received from the second computing device and comprises one or more characteristics of each item of the one or more items. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 21 , wherein the object recognition is performed in real-time as the one or more images are received by the first computing device. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 providing, by the first computing device and to the second computing device, a list of the one or more items for display on the second computing device.   
     
     
         28 . An apparatus comprising:
 one or more processors; and   memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
 receive, from a first computing device associated with a user, one or more images; 
 perform object recognition on the one or more images to identify one or more items within the one or more images; 
 validate, based on first geographical data associated with the one or more images and second geographical data associated with the user, the one or more items; 
 receive additional data associated with the one or more items; and 
 store data identifying the one or more items and the additional data in a catalogue associated with the user. 
   
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein the first geographical data comprises one or more geo tags within the one or more images. 
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein the second geographical data comprises locational data associated with the first computing device. 
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein the additional data is received from the first computing device and comprises one or more characteristics of each item of the one or more items. 
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , wherein the object recognition is performed in real-time as the one or more images are received. 
     
     
         33 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
 provide, to the first computing device, a list of the one or more items for display on the first computing device.   
     
     
         34 . The apparatus of  claim 28 , memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
 generate the catalogue based on information received from the first computing device.   
     
     
         35 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
 receive, from a first computing device associated with a user, one or more images;   perform object recognition on the one or more images to identify one or more items within the one or more images;   validate, based on first geographical data associated with the one or more images and second geographical data associated with the user, the one or more items;   receive additional data associated with the one or more items; and   
       store data identifying the one or more items and the additional data in a catalogue associated with the user. 
     
     
         36 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 35 , wherein the first geographical data comprises one or more geo tags within the one or more images. 
     
     
         37 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 35 , wherein the second geographical data comprises locational data associated with the first computing device. 
     
     
         38 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 35 , wherein the additional data is received from the first computing device and comprises one or more characteristics of each item of the one or more items. 
     
     
         39 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 35 , wherein the object recognition is performed in real-time as the one or more images are received. 
     
     
         40 . One or more non-transitory computer readable media of  claim 35 , storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
 provide, to the first computing device, a list of the one or more items for display on the first computing device.
