AGGREGATION OF REDUCED-SIZED IMAGES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from a user, publication data to be published and location data identifying a storage location at which an image to be associated with the publication data is stored;
retrieving the image to be included in the publication data from the storage location identified by the location data;
generating a reduced-size image using the retrieved image; and
aggregating the reduced-size image with further reduced-size images for presentation at a remote site.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, from a user, publication data to be published and location data identifying a storage location at which an image to be associated with the publication data is stored. The image to be included in the publication data is retrieved from the storage location identified by the location data. A reduced-size image is generated using the retrieved image and the reduced-size image is aggregated with further reduced-size images for presentation at a remote site.
