Patent Images
1. A method for grouping a plurality of electronic images from a plurality of users into an event on a server, the server comprising at least one processor and a memory, the method comprising:
- a) associating, by a server, a first image associated with a first user and a second image associated with a second user with a first event based on information included in a first set of metadata associated with the first image and a second set of metadata associated with the second image;
b) adding, by the server, the second image automatically to a unshared album of the second user;
c) sending, by the server, an automatic notification to the second user that the second user has an image associated with the first event that has not been shared with the first user if;
i) a social relationship between the first user and the second user is identified; and
ii) the second image is not private, the automatic notification allowing access to the second image and access to initiate sharing of the second image by the second user; and
d) moving, by the server, the second image automatically from the unshared album to a shared album of the second user upon receipt, by the server, of an instruction from the second user to initiate sharing of the second image.

19. A computer-implemented system comprising:
- a digital processing device comprising at least one processor, a memory, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, and a computer program stored in the memory including instructions executable by the processor of the digital processing device to create a media sharing application comprising;
a) a software module configured to associate a first image associated with a first user and a second image associated with a second user with a first event based on information included in a first set of metadata associated with the first image and a second set of metadata associated with the second image; b) a software module configured to add the second image automatically to a unshared album of the second user; c) a software module configured to send an automatic notification to the second user that the second user has an image associated with the first event that has not been shared with the first user if; i) a social relationship between the first user and the second user is identified; and ii) the second image is not private, the automatic notification allowing access to the second image and access to initiate sharing of the second image by the second user; and d) a software module configured to move the second image automatically from the unshared album to a shared album of the second user upon receipt of an instruction to initiate sharing of the second image from the second user. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
