Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for media submission. The submission mechanism is configurable to perform a variable amount of intelligent preprocessing on media objects prior to upload. In the example of digital images, the tool can perform sizing and formatting, for example.
Claims51
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having an image submission tool stored thereon for use on a user device, the image submission tool including:
- an image identifier section that when first executed, causes the image submission tool to generate a first visual representation of a first image, the first visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the first image should be replaced with a first replacement image, to enable a user to enter first text information as a first caption for the first image or the first replacement image, and to pre-process the first image or the first replacement image to produce a first pre-processed image, and when second executed, causes the image submission tool to generate a second visual representation of a second image, the second visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the second image should be replaced with a second replacement image, to enable a user to enter second text information as a second caption for the second image or the second replacement image, and to pre-process the second image or the second replacement image to produce a second pre-processed image, wherein the pre-processing by the image submission tool is controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received from a device separate from the user device in a conversion of the first image or the first replacement image and in a conversion of the second image or the second replacement image as specified for use by a receiving party;
- a submission section that when first executed, causes the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the first pre-processed image, and when second executed, causes the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the second pre-processed image;
- and
- an image upload control section that when first executed, causes the image submission tool to transmit the first pre-processed image, and when second executed, causes the image submission tool to transmit the second pre-processed image, wherein the first pre-processed image and the second pre-processed image are grouped together in a presentation.
1 more element
A computer implemented method performed by an image submission tool on a user device, comprising:
- causing the image submission tool to generate a first visual representation of a first image, the first visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the first image should be replaced with a first replacement image, to enable a user to enter first text information as a first caption for the first image or the first replacement image, and to pre-process the first image or the first replacement image to produce a first pre-processed image;
- causing the image submission to generate a second visual representation of a second image, the second visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the second image should be replaced with a second replacement image, to enable a user to enter second text information as a second caption for the second image or the second replacement image, and to pre-process the second image or the second replacement image to produce a second pre-processed image, wherein the pre-processing by the image submission tool is controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received from a device separate from the user device in a conversion of the first image or the first replacement image and in a conversion of the second image or the second replacement image as specified for use by a receiving party;
- causing the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the first pre-processed image;
- causing the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the second pre-processed image;
- causing the image submission tool to transmit the first pre-processed image;
- and
- causing the image submission tool to transmit the second pre-processed image, wherein the first pre-processed image and the second pre-processed image are grouped together in a presentation.

A system, comprising:
- one or more receivers that receive, from a first user device, user credentials, a first pre-processed image file and a second pre-processed image file, the first pre-processed image file produced through first pre-processing by the first user device of a first image, the second pre-processed image file produced through second pre-processing by the first user device of a second image, the first and second pre-processing controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received by the first user device from a device separate from the first user device, the one or more pre-processing parameters used to control the first user device in a conversion of the first image and in a conversion of the second image as specified for use by a receiving party;
- and
- one or more transmitters that transmit, to a second user device, the first pre-processed image file and the second pre-processed image file for grouping together as part of a presentation associated with a user identified by the user credentials.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having an image submission tool stored thereon for use on a user device, the image submission tool including:
- an image identifier section that when executed, causes the image submission tool to:
- generate a visual representation of one or more images, the visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the one or more images should be replaced with one or more replacement images;
- enable a user to enter text information as one or more captions for the one or more images or the one or more replacement images;
- and
- pre-process the one or more images or the one or more replacement images to produce one or more pre-processed images, the pre-processing by the image submission tool controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received from a device separate from the user device in a conversion of the one or more images or the one or more replacement images as specified for use by a receiving party;
- a submission section that when executed, causes the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the one or more pre-processed images;
- and
- an image upload control section that when executed, causes the image submission tool to transmit the one or more pre-processed images.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a media submission tool stored thereon for use on a user device, the media submission tool including:
- a media identifier section that when executed, causes the media submission tool to:
- generate a visual representation of a video, the visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the video should be replaced with a replacement video;
- enable a user to enter text information as a caption for the video or the replacement video;
- and
- pre-process the video or the replacement video to produce pre-processed video, the pre-processing by the media submission tool controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received from a device separate from the user device in a conversion of the video or the replacement video as specified for use by a receiving party;
- a submission section that when executed, causes the media submission tool to enable a user to submit the pre-processed video;
- and
- a media upload control section that when executed, causes the media submission tool to transmit the pre-processed video.

A computer implemented method performed by an image submission tool on a user device, comprising:
- causing the image submission tool to generate a visual representation of one or more images, the visual representation enabling a user to determine whether the one or more images should be replaced with one or more replacement images;
- causing the image submission tool to enable a user to enter text information for association with the one or more images or the one or more replacement images;
- causing the image submission tool to pre-process the one or more images or the one or more replacement images to produce one or more pre-processed images, the pre-processing by the image submission tool controlled by one or more pre-processing parameters received from a device separate from the user device in a conversion of the one or more images or the one or more replacement images as specified for use by a receiving party;
- causing the image submission tool to enable a user to submit the one or more pre-processed images;
- and
- causing the image submission tool to transmit the one or more pre-processed images.
