Abstract
A digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from a user's social media account or her or his community members' social media accounts. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer, and a viewer profile automatically determined from the identity of the viewer. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers.
Claims20
A method of displaying photos on a digital display of a user with a network connection module, the method comprising:
- downloading a first interaction application to a first electronic device of the user, the first electronic device including a first digital photo collection;
- the first interaction application automatically clustering digital photos of the first digital photo collection according to content;
- receiving a first selected digital photo cluster from the first interaction application for display;
- downloading a second interaction application to a second electronic device of a user community member, the second electronic device including a second digital photo collection of the user community member;
- the second interaction application automatically clustering digital photos of the second digital photo collection according to photo content;
- receiving a second selected digital photo cluster from the second interaction application for display;
- and
- automatically displaying on the digital display digital photos of the first and second selected digital photo clusters.
