Abstract
A photographic system for producing an enhanced photographic product is provided. The system includes a database for storing custom content for a plurality of events. The system also includes a digital image capture device that stores a digital image and information defining the date/time and geographic location of the digital image. A Service Provider automatically determines if the timestamp and the geographic information corresponds to events stored in the custom content database. A processor produces an enhanced photographic product including the captured digital image and custom content corresponding to the timestamp and location of the captured digital image.

A method for producing an enhanced photographic product, comprising:
- storing custom content for a plurality of events in a custom content database;
- receiving a digital image and information from a digital image capture device defining the time and geographic location the digital image was captured;
- automatically determining if the time and the geographic information corresponds to one or more of the plurality of events stored in the custom content database;
- and
- producing an enhanced photographic product including the received digital image and at least a portion of the custom content for one or more plurality of events in the custom content database corresponding to the digital image.

- receiving a digital image and information from a digital image capture device defining the time and geographic location the digital image was captured;
- automatically determining if the time and the geographic information corresponds to one or more of the plurality of events stored in the custom content database;
- and
- producing an enhanced photographic product including the received digital image and at least a portion of the custom content for one or more plurality of events in the custom content database corresponding to the digital image only when the event conforms to user preferences, wherein the user preferences is determined by analyzing the photographic behavior of the user by the system.
A method for producing an enhanced photographic product, comprising:
- storing custom content for a plurality of events in a custom content database;
- automatically determining if user time and geographic information corresponds to one of the plurality of events in the custom content database;
- prompting the user to capture images when the user geographic information corresponds to at least one of the plurality of events;
- capturing a digital image using a digital device of the user and receiving geographic information and user time defining the location of the user and the time when the digital image was captured;
- and
- producing an enhanced photographic product comprising the received digital image and at least a portion of the custom content.
