US 2014/0372910 A1 · System and Method of Collecting and Compiling Media

Abstract

A system and method allowing a user to collect and compile media from other users to create a personalized, themed, collaborative, final product such as a photo book, book of thoughts, cards, video/slideshow, calendar, or other content, photo or video-based product. Contributor users can be guided on what media and content to submit, creating a final product that is more meaningful than prior personalized/themed products. An organizer user can outline the project, choose a theme (by directing and guiding contributor users on what content to contribute), invite contributor users, set preferences, manage communications, and track receipt of media, and then efficiently organize contributed media to efficiently and effectively create a meaningful, final, collaborative product.
