Claims24
A method, comprising:
- (a) providing a web client computer connected to a network;
- (b) providing the web client computer access to a plurality of electronic images;
- (c) receiving, at the web client computer, web content from a remote web server connected to the network;
- and
- wherein the web content enables the web client computer, in response to user input, to select images from the plurality of images and to create a composite image from the selected images.
A computing system, comprising:
- (a) a web client computer having access to a plurality of electronic images;
- and
- (b) a first web server computer connected to the web client computer over a network;
- and
- wherein the first web server computer with the capability to provide first web content to the web client computer;
- and
- wherein the first web content enables the web client computer to, in response to first user input, create a composite image that includes images selected from the plurality of electronic images.
A Web server computer, comprising:
- (a) an interface for receiving a request from a web client over a network;
- and
- (b) a mechanism for responding to the request by transmitting web content, over the network, to the web client;
- and
- wherein the web client computer has access to a plurality of electronic images;
- wherein the web content enables the web client to, in response to first user input, select images from the plurality of electronic images;
- and
- wherein the web content enables the web client computer to, in response to second user input, create a composite image from the selected images.
A computing device, comprising:
- (a) means for receiving a request from a web client computer over a network, the request address to a pre-determined URL;
- and
- (b) means for responding to the request by transmitting a program of instructions to the web client computer;
- and
- wherein the program of instructions enables the web client computer to select electronic images and to create a composite image from the selected images.
A computer readable medium embodying Web content for causing a Web client computer to perform method steps, the method steps comprising:
- (a) receiving first input from a user that identifies a plurality of electronic images;
- (b) receiving second input from the user that defines an arrangement of the electronic images;
- (c) creating a composite image based upon the first and second input;
- and
- (d) displaying at least one web page that includes a graphical user interface for enabling the user to provide the first and the second user input.
