Abstract
Methods and systems for creating a collection of digital media. In one example of a method, at least one search parameter is defined, and a search is performed using the search parameter to search through parameters for a first plurality of digital media. The search obtains a second plurality of digital media which is a subset of the first plurality of digital media. Then a media container is automatically generated from the search results. The media container may, in one embodiment, be a digital picture album having multiple pages with multiple digital pictures.
Claims16
A method in a digital processing system for creating a collection of digital media, said method comprising:
- defining search parameters;
- searching, using said search parameters, through parameters for a first plurality of digital media to obtain a second plurality of digital media which is a subset of said first plurality of digital media;
- selecting a format for a media container for said second plurality of digital media;
- generating automatically said media container for said second plurality of digital media, wherein said media container further includes information concerning said selected format, said media container being transferable as an entity between computer systems.
A computer readable storage medium containing executable computer program instructions which when executed by a digital processing system cause the digital processing system to perform a method comprising:
- defining at least one search parameter;
- searching, using said search parameter, through parameters for a first plurality of digital media to obtain a second plurality of digital media which is a subset of said first plurality of digital media;
- selecting a format for a media container for said second plurality of digital media;
- generating automatically said media container for said second plurality of digital media, wherein said media container further includes information concerning said selected format, said media container being transferable as an entity between computer systems.
