Abstract
One of several methods comprises selecting one or more parameters based, at least in part, on a ranking of a relative desirability of said one or more specified parameters and selecting a subset of a set of electronic content for use in at least a portion of an electroniccompilation, wherein said subset may be selected based, at least in part, on said one or more parameters.
Claims22
A method for generating compilations, comprising:
- creating a compilation including one or more portions of content of digital images that are identified as being preview-only or comp content without manually searching or identifying said content;
- selecting, by processing electronic signals by a specialized apparatus, one or more properties of a set of digital images based, at least in part, on a ranking of user desirability of the one or more properties of the set of digital images, wherein said ranking includes one or more trade-offs, and wherein said ranking is based, at least in part, on cost, and quality;
- determining a trade-off among said one or more trade-offs between a first particular property and a second particular property among said one or more properties;
- selecting a subset of said set of said digital images for use in at least a portion of the electronic compilation, wherein the trade-off is based, at least in part, on a form of media for which said electronic compilation is created, for a web page or advertisement form, and wherein the subset being further selected based, at least in part, on said trade-off, the properties of the selected subset of digital images, and the ranking;
- and
- repeatedly substituting at least a portion of the selected subset of digital images with at least a portion of the electronic compilation if one or more of digital images are not properly identified in an additional utilization of time;
- selecting said set of said digital images based, at least in oart, on properties of said compilation or portions thereof, wherein said set comprises a plurality of portions of said digital images having varying properties comprising resolution, image size, frame size, configuration, quality, file type, cost, gray levels, compression, sampling rate, frame rate, clip length, percentage cropped, limitations on use and classification.

An article comprising:
- a storage medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a special purpose processor to:
- create a compilation including one or more portions of content of digital images that are identified as being preview-only or comp content without manually searching or identifying said content;
- select, by processing electronic signals by a specialized apparatus, one or more properties of a set of digital images based, at least in part, on a ranking of user desirability of said one or more properties of the set of digital images, wherein said ranking includes one or more trade-offs, and wherein said ranking is based, at least in part, on cost, and quality;
- determine a trade-off among said one or more trade-offs between a first particular property and a second particular property among said one or more properties;
- select a subset of said set of said digital images for use in at least a portion of an electronic compilation, wherein said trade-off is based, at least in part, on a form of media for which said electronic compilation is created, and wherein said subset being selected based, at least in part, on said trade-off, said properties of said selected subset of said digital images, and said ranking;
- and
- repeatedly substitute at least a portion of said selected subset of said digital images with at least a portion of said electronic compilation if one or more of said digital images are not properly identified in an additional utilization of time;
- select said set of said digital images based, at least in part, on properties of said compilation or portions thereof, wherein said set comprises a plurality of portions of said digital images having varying properties comprising resolution, image size, frame size, configuration, quality, file type, cost, gray levels, compression, sampling rate, frame rate, clip length, percentage cropped, limitations on use and classification.

An apparatus for generating compilations, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory comprising machine readable instructions:
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein said machine readable instructions are executable by said one or more processors for:
- creating a compilation including one or more portions of content of digital images that are identified as being preview-only or comp content without manually searching or identifying said content;
- selecting, by processing electronic signals by a specialized apparatus, one or more properties of a set of digital images based, at least in part, on a ranking of user desirability of said one or more properties of the set of digital images, wherein said ranking includes one or more trade-offs, and wherein said ranking is based, at least in part, on cost, and quality;
- determining a trade-off among said one or more trade-offs between a first particular property and a second particular property among said one or more properties;
- selecting a subset of said set of said digital images for use in at least a portion of an electronic compilation, wherein said trade-off is based, at least in part, on a form of media for which said electronic compilation is created, and wherein said subset being selected based, at least in part, on said trade-off, said properties of said selected subset of said digital images, and said ranking;
- and
- repeatedly substituting at least a portion of said selected subset of said digital images with at least a portion of said electronic compilation if one or more of said digital images are not properly identified in an additional utilization of time;
- selecting said set of said digital images based, at least in part, on properties of said compilation or portions thereof, wherein said set comprises a plurality of portions of said digital images having varying properties comprising resolution, image size, frame size, configuration, quality, file type, cost, gray levels, compression, sampling rate, frame rate, clip length, percentage cropped, limitations on use and classification.
