System and method for displaying images and videos found on the internet as a result of a search engine

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a handheld communication device, prior to entering a screensaver mode of operation, a search criteria identifying a requested subject matter, wherein the search criteria is based on a last user-initiated search query to a web-based search engine;
• entering the screens aver mode of operation at the handheld communication device;
• in response to entering the screensaver mode, automatically transmitting, by the handheld communication device, the search criteria identifying the requested subject matter to a web browser;
• receiving, by the handheld communication device, in response to automatically transmitting the search criteria, a set of uniform resource locators from the web browser based upon the search criteria;
• and
• sequentially presenting, by the handheld communication device, at a display of the handheld communication device during the screensaver mode, image content referenced by the set of uniform resource locators
• receiving, by the handheld communication device, during the screensaver mode, user input at an input component of the handheld communication device during a presentation of a first image associated with a first uniform resource locator of the set of uniform resource locators;
• in response to receiving the user input from a first input device, presenting, by the handheld communication device, during the screensaver mode, a user-selectable region comprising a selectable element superimposed on the first image, wherein the user-selectable region includes a selectable graphical element superimposed on a graphical interface for presenting the first image;
• detecting, by the handheld communication device, during the screensaver mode, a selection of a first element of the selectable element;
• causing, by the handheld communication device, a defined action responsive to the selection of the first element, wherein the defined action causes a generation of an e-mail message having an attachment with content referenced by a link associated with the first image;
• and
• in response to receiving the user input from a second input device, ceasing, by the handheld communication device, the presenting of the image content at the first image.

A portable device, comprising:

• a memory that stores executable instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the instructions, facilitates performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, prior to entering a screensaver mode of operation, a search criteria identifying a requested subject matter, wherein the search criteria is based on a last search query to a web-based search engine;
• entering the screens aver mode of operation;
• in response to entering the screensaver mode of operation, automatically transmitting to a search engine the search criteria identifying the requested subject matter to a web browser;
• receiving from the web browser a set of uniform resource locators in response to the transmitting of the search criteria identifying the requested subject matter;
• sequentially presenting image content referenced by uniform resource locators of the set of uniform resource locators during the screensaver mode of operation;
• presenting, during the screensaver mode, a user-selectable region comprising a selectable graphical element superimposed on a graphical interface for presenting a first image;
• causing a defined action responsive to selection of the selectable graphical element, wherein the defined action causes a generation of an e-mail message having an attachment with content referenced by a link associated with the first image;
• and
• ceasing, during the screensaver mode of operation, the presenting of the image content at the first image responsive to an input signal received via an input component of the portable device, wherein the first image is associated with a first uniform resource locator of the set of uniform resource locators.
