Abstract

An application for a system for providing a digital yearbook includes a server, a user computer and a database. The database is interfaced to the server and global yearbook data and private yearbook data is captured at the computer and transferred to the server. The yearbook data and private data are stored in the database and each user is provided with their own subset of the global yearbook data along with their own private yearbook data at a device for displaying such.

Claims (41)

1. A system for providing a customized digital yearbook comprising:

a server;

a plurality of computers connected to the server by a network;

and a database operationally coupled to the server;

a plurality of unique user accounts, each user account corresponding to a user of the customized digital yearbook;

a first software module receives global yearbook data from the plurality of computers and stores the global yearbook data in the database;

a second software module receives private data from at least one of the computers and stores the private data in the database associated with a subset of the user accounts; and

for each of the users of the user accounts, a third software module extracts a subset of the global yearbook data by selecting custom yearbook data therefrom according to directives set by the user in a view by user file,

the third software module filters the subset of the global yearbook data according to the user accounts and the third software module presents the subset of the global yearbook data integrated with private data, the private data associated with the user of one of the user accounts, at a user device associated with the user of the user account, the private data being integrated post-production with the subset of the global data.

2. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the second software module and the third software module run on the server and the subset of the global yearbook data integrated with the private data associated with the user of one of the user accounts is transferred to a user device associated with the user and is presented at the user device.

3. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the second software module and the third software module run on a user device and the subset of the global yearbook data and the private data associated with the user of one of the user accounts is transferred to a user device associated with the user before the second software module and the third software module run on the user device and the subset of the global yearbook data and the private data associated with the user of one of the user accounts is presented at the user device.

4. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the private data includes digitized text.

5. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 4 , wherein the digitized text is presented as an overlay mixed with an image of a user of the customized digital yearbook.

6. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the private data includes digitized voice.

7. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 6 , wherein a user interface is provided, the user interface playing the digitized voice responsive to user interface operations.

8. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the private data includes digitized video.

9. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 8 , wherein a user interface is provided, the user interface playing the digitized video responsive to user interface operations.

10. The system for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 1 , wherein the third software module presents a table of contents having entries related to the subset of the global yearbook data.

11. A method for providing a customized digital yearbook comprising:

capturing global content for a digital yearbook and storing the global content in a database;

capturing private content associated with a particular user of the digital yearbook, the particular user having a unique user account for accessing the digital yearbook, and storing the private content in the database;

editing and organizing the global content and the private content within the database;

creating customized data from the database by selecting custom yearbook data therefrom based on directives set by the particular user in a view by user file of the particular user from the global content and including post-production the private content associated with the particular user; and

presenting the customized data at a device associated with the particular user.

12. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 11 , further comprising a step of delivering the customized data to the device associated with the particular user.

13. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 11 , wherein the private data includes digitized text.

14. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 13 , wherein the digitized text is presented as an overlay mixed with an image of a user of the customized digital yearbook.

15. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 11 , wherein the private data includes digitized voice.

16. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 15 , wherein a user interface is provided, the user interface playing the digitized voice responsive to user interface operations.

17. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 11 , wherein the private data includes digitized video.

18. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 17 , wherein a user interface is provided, the user interface playing the digitized video responsive to user interface operations.

19. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 11 , wherein the private data includes images.

20. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 19 , wherein a user interface is provided, the user interface playing the images responsive to user interface operations.

21. A method for providing a customized digital yearbook, the method performed by a computer having instructions stored on non-transitory computer-readable media, interfaced to a computer, the computer executing the instructions to implement the method comprising the steps of:

capturing global content for a digital yearbook;

capturing private content for the digital yearbook, the private content associated with a user of the digital yearbook, the user having a unique user account for accessing the digital yearbook;

storing the global content and the private content in a database; editing and organizing the global content and the private content within the database under control of an administrator;

creating customized data from the database by selecting custom yearbook data therefrom based on directives set by the user in a view by user file of the user; and

presenting the customized data and adding post-production the private content at a device associated with the user of the yearbook.

22. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 21 , wherein the private data is data selected from digitized text, a digitized audio and digitized video.

23. The method for providing a customized digital yearbook of claim 22 , further comprising the step of providing a user interface, the user interface reproducing the private data responsive to interface operations.
