Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de diffusion d'un contenu de données d'image relatif à un sujet. Le système comprend : un moyen de collecte des coordonnées d'un compte de médias sociaux relatives à un sujet et d'attribution d'une identification numérisable au sujet ; un moyen de numérisation conçu pour numériser l'identification numérisable du sujet ; un moyen de capture d'image conçu pour capturer une image du sujet et pour associer l'image capturée à l'identification numérisée du sujet ; et un moyen de rendu qui reçoit l'image capturée et rend un contenu d'image supplémentaire avec l'image capturée de façon à produire une image rendue. Lors de la réception d'une approbation provenant d'un sujet authentifié de l'image rendue, le système poste l'image rendue sur le compte de médias sociaux du sujet en fonction des coordonnées du compte de médias sociaux collectées.
