Multi-source, multi-destination data transfers
View Patent ↗A method and system for transferring an image. A user-selected image is received. Displayed are: (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point. A user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object is received, and in response, the image is copied into the web page at the selected destination point. The first destination point, the first text, the second destination point, and the second text are stored in the transfer map. The selected image is mapped to the one of the destination points in the transfer map.
1. A method for transferring an image, said method comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a computer system, a user selection of an image;
said processor displaying (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point;
said processor receiving a user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object, and in response, said processor copying the selected image into the web page at the selected destination point, wherein the selected destination point is the first destination point or the second destination point;
said processor storing the first destination point and the first text in a transfer map;
said processor storing the second destination point and the second text in the transfer map; and
in response to said receiving the user mouse selection of the first or second destination point within the graphic object, said processor mapping the selected image to the one of the destination points in the transfer map.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transfer map is a graphical user interface (GUI).
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the GUI allows a user to edit or delete the first destination point or the second destination point.
4. A computer program product comprising a computer readable hardware storage device, said storage device containing program code which, upon being executed by a processor of a computer system, implements a method for transferring an image, said method comprising:
said processor receiving a user selection of an image;
said processor displaying (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point;
said processor receiving a user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object, and in response, said processor copying the selected image into the web page at the selected destination point, wherein the selected destination point is the first destination point or the second destination point;
said processor storing the first destination point and the first text in a transfer map;
said processor storing the second destination point and the second text in the transfer map; and
in response to said receiving the user mouse selection of the first or second destination point within the graphic object, said processor mapping the selected image to the selected destination point in the transfer map.
5. The computer program product of claim 4 , wherein the transfer map is a graphical user interface (GUI).
6. The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the GUI allows a user to edit or delete the first destination point or the second destination point.
7. A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device containing program code which, upon being executed by the processor via the memory, implements a method for transferring an image, said method comprising:
said processor receiving a user selection of an image;
said processor displaying (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point;
said processor receiving a user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object, and in response, said processor copying the selected image into the web page at the selected destination point, wherein the selected destination point is the first destination point or the second destination point;
said processor storing the first destination point and the first text in a transfer map;
said processor storing the second destination point and the second text in the transfer map; and
in response to said receiving the user mouse selection of the first or second destination point within the graphic object, said processor mapping the selected image to the selected destination point in the transfer map.
8. The computer system of claim 7 , wherein the transfer map is a graphical user interface (GUI).
9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the GUI allows a user to edit or delete the first destination point or the second destination point.
