System, method and apparatus for media submission

A client device for pre-processing, comprising:

• a transmitter that transmits information that enables access to an account that is associated with a user, said access to said account conditioned on a receipt of an identifier at a host server;
• a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied therein for enabling a receipt of an identification of one or more image files, video files or audio files to associate with said account;
• and
• a pre-processor that pre-processes said identified one or more image files, video files or audio files in preparation for transmission by said client device, said pre-processor using pre-processing parameters received from a remote server, said pre-processing parameters enabling said client device to pre-process said identified one or more image files, video files or audio files in a manner specified by a distributing party for transfer of content, which is based on said pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files, to one or more devices separate from said client device.

A method for receiving one or more pre-processed image files, video files or audio files, comprising the following computer implemented steps:

• receiving, from a client device, information that enables access to an account that is associated with a user, said access to said account conditioned on a receipt of an identifier;
• transmitting pre-processing parameters to said client device, said pre-processing parameters enabling said client device to pre-process one or more image files, video files or audio files in a manner specified by a distributing party for transfer of content to one or more devices separate from said client device;
• receiving, from said client device, one or more image files, video files or audio files that have been pre-processed at said client device in accordance with said transmitted pre-processing parameters;
• and
• storing said received pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files, said stored pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files used for subsequent transfer of content to said one or more devices separate from said client device.

A system for receiving one or more pre-processed image files, video files or audio files, comprising:

• a receiver that receives, from a client device, information that enables access to an account that is associated with a user, said access to said account conditioned on a receipt of an identifier;
• a transmitter that transmits pre-processing parameters to said client device, said pre-processing parameters enabling said client device to pre-process said one or more image files, video files or audio files in a manner specified by a distributing party for transfer of content to one or more devices separate from said client device;
• and
• a storage medium that stores one or more image files, video files or audio files received from said client device that have been pre-processed at said client device in accordance with said transmitted pre-processing parameters, said stored pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files used for subsequent transfer of content to said one or more devices separate from said client device.

A method for pre-processing in a client device, comprising the following computer implemented steps:

• transmitting information that enables access to an account that is associated with a user, said access to said account conditioned on a receipt of an identifier at a host server;
• receiving an identification of one or more image files, video files or audio files to associate with said account;
• receiving, by said client device, a confirmation of an intent to associate said one or more image files, video files or audio files with said account;
• pre-processing said identified one or more image files, video files or audio files using pre-processing parameters that have been loaded onto said client device by a device separate from said client device, said pre-processing parameters enabling said client device to pre-process said identified one or more image files, video files or audio files in a manner specified by a distributing party for transfer of content, which is based on said pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files, to one or more devices separate from said client device;
• and
• transmitting said pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files.
