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.
Claims27
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 first visual representation of a first image, to associate first text information as a first annotation for the first image or a first replacement image that replaces the first image, and to pre-process the first image or the first replacement image to produce a first pre-processed image, and when executed causes the image submission tool to generate a second visual representation of a second image, to associate second text information as a second annotation for the second image or a second replacement image that replaces the second 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 executed, causes the image submission tool to request a confirmation from a user to submit the first pre-processed image;
- and
- an image upload control section that when executed, causes the image submission tool to transmit the first pre-processed image, and when 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 catalogued together.

A computer implemented method performed by an image submission tool on a user device, comprising:
- generating, by the image submission tool, a first visual representation of a first image, to associate first text information as a first annotation for the first image or a first replacement image that replaces the first image, and to pre-process the first image or the first replacement image to produce a first pre-processed image;
- generating, by the image submission tool, a second visual representation of a second image, to associate second text information as a second annotation for the second image or a second replacement image that replaces the second 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;
- requesting, by the image submission tool, a confirmation from a user to submit the first pre-processed image;
- transmitting, by the image submission tool, the first pre-processed image;
- and
- transmitting, by the image submission tool, the second pre-processed image, wherein the first pre-processed image and the second pre-processed image are catalogued together.
