Method and system for creating messages including image information
View Patent ↗Storing image data and related information for sharing via a URL includes receiving image data uploaded from a client computer via a user interface and receiving, separate from the receiving of the image data, related information uploaded via the user interface. The uploaded image data and related information are stored. A uniform resource locator (URL) configured for retrieving a display that includes the stored image data and the related information is generated. The URL is provided in a message.
1. A method, comprising:
storing, in a first memory device, image data uploaded from a computing device;
storing, in a second memory device, information related to the image data received separately from the image data;
generating a locator on a network configured to identify a storage location of the image data and the information; and
providing the locator in a message.
2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the image data is representative of a place, object, event, or experience; and
wherein the information includes a description of the place, object, event, or experience.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image data is uploaded from the computing device using a graphical user interface.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the locator comprises a uniform resource locator (URL).
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a display of the image data and the information in response to a request that includes at least a portion of the locator.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the locator in the message further comprises forwarding the message to a recipient.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying the image data or the information.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first memory device is distinct from the second memory device.
9. A server, comprising:
a memory device configured to store instructions; and
a processing device configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to:
cause storage of image data received from a first source device in a first database;
cause storage of information related to the image data received from a second source device in a second database;
generate a uniform resource locator (URL) configured to locate the image data and the information; and
include the URL in a message.
10. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further configured to generate a display of the image data and the information in response to a request that includes at least a portion of the URL.
11. The server of claim 9 ,
wherein the image data is representative of a place, object, event, or experience; and
wherein the information includes a description of the place, object, event, or experience.
12. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further configured to transmit the message to a recipient.
13. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further configured to modify the image data or the information.
14. The server of claim 9 , wherein the first database is distinct from the second database.
15. The server of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is configured to store locator with the image data in the first database or the information in the second database.
16. A memory device having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
causing storage of image data uploaded from a computing device in a first database;
causing storage of information related to the image data received separately from the image data in a second database;
generating a locator on a network configured to identify a storage location of the image data and the information; and
providing the locator in a message.
17. The memory device of claim 16 ,
wherein the image data is representative of a place, object, event, or experience; and
wherein the information includes a description of the place, object, event, or experience.
18. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the image data is uploaded from the computing device using a graphical user interface.
19. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the locator comprises a uniform resource locator (URL).
20. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the processing device is configured to perform operations further comprising generating a display of the image data and the information in response to a request that includes at least a portion of the locator.
21. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the processing device is configured to perform operations further comprising forwarding the message to a recipient.
22. The memory device of claim 16 , wherein the processing device is configured to perform operations further comprising modifying the image data or the information.
23. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first database is distinct from the second database.
