Abstract

A digital image display device comprising: a display screen; a processor; a network connection for receiving digital media assets provided by a plurality of individuals; an image memory; a user interface for receiving input from a user of the digital image display device; and a program memory. The program memory stores instructions to execute the steps of: receiving a digital media asset; displaying the received digital media asset on the display screen; determining an asset classification for the displayed digital media asset; selecting a set of classified feedback message choices responsive to the determined asset classification; displaying the selected set of feedback message choices, receiving input from the user to select a particular feedback message choice; and providing an indication of the selected feedback message to the individual who provided the displayed digital media asset.

Claims

1. A digital image display device, the device comprising:

a networked interface configured to communicate with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources, the multiple image sources including images sourced from social media websites, to receive a plurality of respective images originating from said multiple image sources, and to communicate feedback for each respective image to respective ones the multiple image sources from which each respective image was received, wherein the images sourced from the social media websites include images from a plurality of friend entities, each friend entity tagged with an image metadata as a unique source of a digital media asset, and the networked interface is further configured to communicate the unique source image metadata for each respective image to each respective one of the multiple image sources from which each respective image was received;

a display that presents the respective images received via the networked interface; and

a processor programmed to;

receive feedback regarding a displayed image, wherein the displayed image is one image of the plurality of respective images originating from the multiple image sources; and

selectively group the plurality of respective images according to feedback for each respective one of the plurality of images, said feedback regarding each image being associated with the unique source image metadata.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.

3. A method comprising:

communicating, via a networked interface, with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources;

receiving an image, via the networked interface, from one of the multiple image sources via the content and configuration server, said image associated with a social media website;

receiving, via a processor, feedback regarding the received image;

selectively grouping, via the processor, a plurality of images according to feedback received for each of the images, wherein respective ones of the plurality of images are sourced from social media websites and include images from a plurality of friend entities, each friend entity being tagged with image metadata as a unique source of digital media asset;

communicating the feedback regarding the received image to a respective one of the multiple image sources from which the image was received via the networked interface, wherein feedback regarding each respective image of the plurality of images is associated with the unique source image metadata;

and communicating the unique source image metadata for each respective image to each respective one of the multiple image sources from which each respective image was received.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:

communicating with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources;

receiving an image from one of the multiple image sources via the content and configuration server;

receiving feedback regarding the received image;

selectively grouping a plurality of images according to feedback received for each of the images, wherein respective ones of the plurality of images are sourced from social media websites and include images from a plurality of friend entities, each friend entity being tagged with an image metadata as a unique source of digital media asset;

communicating the feedback regarding the received image to the one of the multiple image sources from which the image was received, wherein feedback regarding each respective image of the plurality of images is associated with the unique source image metadata; and

communicating the unique source image metadata for each respective image to respective ones of the multiple image sources from which the respective image was received.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.
