Users can create profiles in this system with more/less information which may or may not include photos of themselves or their relatives.
A Web application and an Android system allow user authentication and photo upload.
The Android system is likely to be used on refugee camps as a mobile version of the Web system.
If a user enables search by photo then as soon as a new profile is added, an automatic search by photo is performed and the person who is a relative (resembling the user) is notified of that match via SMS (if they have provided a phone number).
Likewise, a user who is logged in can perform a search on minimal criteria and find users related to them either by text search or by photo search.
If the text criteria does not match a photo search is performed instead.
Users that do not resemble their missing relative, may be able to upload photos of their relative and try to find them.
Screenshots/flows are available in the attached presentation.
