Abstract
A computer system for a narrational media organizer for transforming digital media into a personal, memorable story with minimal user input having a processor and storage with instructions for creating a narrational media organizer (NMO) environment, where a user can annotate one or more than one digital media file or graphical representations of the digital media files using a user interface; and an NMO data structure for storing the digital media and annotations of the NMO environment.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing to a user digital media files as graphical representations of each of the digital media files in an arrangement along a timeline in a work area;
- receiving textual annotations from the user corresponding to a first graphical representation of a first digital media file of the digital media files;
- providing an animation of the first graphical representation, wherein the animation includes rotation of the first graphical representation from a front side to a backside, wherein the backside includes the textual annotations;
- receiving, via an input device associated with the user, a tap on a minimizing icon associated with the first graphical representation;
- in response to receiving the tap, replacing the first graphical representation with a smaller icon that is smaller than the first graphical representation;
- and
- in response to replacing the first graphical representation with the smaller icon, exporting the digital media files except for the first digital media file, wherein the digital media files except for the first digital media file are exported as one or more of a slideshow, a webpage, a video, a portable document format, a photo book, a printed photo collection, or an email.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory that stores instructions executed by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising:
- providing to a user digital media files as graphical representations of each of the digital media files in an arrangement along a timeline in a work area;
- receiving textual annotations from the user corresponding to a first graphical representation of a first digital media file of the digital media files;
- providing an animation of the first graphical representation, wherein the animation includes rotation of the first graphical representation from a front side to a backside, wherein the backside includes the textual annotations;
- receiving, via an input device associated with the user, a tap on a minimizing icon associated with the first graphical representation;
- in response to receiving the tap, replacing the first graphical representation with a smaller icon that is smaller than the first graphical representation;
- and
- in response to replacing the first graphical representation with the smaller icon, exporting the digital media files except for the first digital media file, wherein the digital media files are exported as one or more of a slideshow, a webpage, a video, a portable document format, a photo book, a printed photo collection, or an email.

A non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- providing to a user digital media files as graphical representations of each of the digital media files in an arrangement along a timeline in a work area;
- receiving textual annotations from the user corresponding to a first graphical representation of a first digital media file of the digital media files;
- providing an animation of the first graphical representation, wherein the animation includes rotation of the first graphical representation from a front side to a backside, wherein the backside includes the textual annotations;
- receiving, via an input device associated with the user, a tap on a minimizing icon associated with the first graphical representation;
- in response to receiving the tap, replacing the first graphical representation with a smaller icon that is smaller than the first graphical representation;
- and
- in response to replacing the first graphical representation with the smaller icon, exporting the digital media files except for the first digital media file, wherein the digital media files except for the first digital media file are exported as one or more of a slideshow, a webpage, a video, a portable document format, a photo book, a printed photo collection, or an email.
