IANAL but the claims appear to be about one device filtering which photos it sends to other devices based on identifying the photographic subjects (people, buildings, or animals) and forwarding photographs that contain certain subjects to particular other devices wirelessly. Shotwell is just an application which supports filtering based on manually applied labels, not an image-classifying AI with a wireless network stack.
Setting aside prior art for a moment, it seems like a pretty far stretch to say that classifying files according to metadata and uploading them to Flickr or Pinterest is equivalent to identifying the subject of a photograph and making it wirelessly accessible to another local device.
Is anyone, I mean anyone, here unaware of software prior to 1998 that would filter files into different folders based on, say, ID3 tags, EXIF data, or file timestamps?
