Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for adjusting time metadata of digital media items. A digital image captured at a location is associated with a time of capture and a location of capture. It is determined that a time of capture of the digital image is in a preset time zone that is different from a time zone of the location. In response to the determining, multiple locations are provided, each being associated with a respective time zone including a time zone of the location. A selection of a location is received and the time of capture is adjusted based on a time zone associated with the selected location.
Claims23
A system comprising:
- an image receiver configured to receive a digital image, including a time of capture of the digital image corresponding to a preset time zone;
- a location receiver configured to receive location information identifying a location, including a time of recording of the location information corresponding to a reference time zone;
- a comparison unit configured to compare the preset time zone with the reference time zone;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the image receiver and the location receiver, the processor configured to
- detect an assignment of the digital image to the location;
- and
- generate an indication of a time zone conflict, responsive to the comparison by the comparison unit.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by data processing apparatus, a digital image captured at a first location at a time of capture in a preset time zone;
- determining, by the data processing apparatus, that the preset time zone is different from a time zone of the first location;
- providing, by the data processing apparatus, a plurality of locations, each associated with a respective time zone;
- receiving, by the data processing apparatus, a selection of a second location from the provided plurality of locations;
- and
- adjusting, by the data processing apparatus, the time of capture based on the time zone associated with the second location.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, on which are stored software instructions, executable by data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a digital image captured at a first location at a time of capture;
- determining that the time of capture is in a preset time zone that is different from a time zone of the first location;
- providing a plurality of locations, each associated with a respective time zone;
- receiving a selection of a second location from the provided plurality of locations;
- and
- adjusting the time of capture based on a time zone associated with the second location.
