DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital picture frame including:
- a chassis;
an internal memory that is located within said chassis and that is configured for storing a first set of image files;
an display screen that is configured for displaying an image stored within at least one of said first set of image files at any one time;
an input port that is configured for inputting at least one of a second set of image files that are stored onto an external memory located outside of said chassis;
an image file filtering component that is configured to uniquely identify each member of said first set of image files, and configured to uniquely identify each member of said second set of image files, and configured to uniquely identify each member of a third set of image files; and
whereeach member of said third set of image files is a member of said second set of image files, but is not a duplicate of any member of said first set of image files.

8. A digital picture frame including:
-
a chassis; an internal memory that is located within said chassis and that is configured for storing a first set of images; an display screen that is configured for displaying at least one of said first set of image files at any one time; an input port that is configured for inputting at least one of a second set of image files that are stored onto an external memory; a image filtering component that is configured to uniquely identify each member of said first set of image files, and configured to uniquely identify each member of said second set of image files, and configured to uniquely identify each member of a third set of image files; and
whereeach member of said third set of image files is a member of said second set of image files, but is not a duplicate of any member of said first set of image files; and
whereinupon an occurrence of an event of establishing communication between said external memory and said input port, said digital picture frame detects said occurrence of said event and transfers said third set of images from said external memory to said internal memory without requiring user or other human intervention after said occurrence of said event. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A digital picture frame including:
-
an internal memory that is configured for storing a first set of image files; a display screen that is configured for displaying a plurality of image files at any one time; a dynamic image display component that is configured to direct operation of said display screen so that at least a subset of said first set of image files is displayed during a predetermined dynamic image display time period, said dynamic image display time period having an associated set of display directives, each of said display directives having an associated set of display attributes; and wherein said set of display directives specify rendering of each of said plurality of image files, each of said image files are each associated an image file identifier, and associated with at least one rendering action, said rendering action being associated with an initial rendering time, a final rendering time, and at least one rendering area. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A digital picture frame including:
-
a chassis; an internal memory that is located within said chassis and that is configured for storing a first set of image files and configured for storing a software program; an display screen that is configured for displaying at least one of said first set of image files at any one time; an input port that is configured for inputting at least one of a second set of image files that are stored onto an external memory; and upon an occurrence of an event of establishing communication between said external memory and said input port, said digital picture frame is configured to detect said occurrence of said event and to transfer at least one of said second set of image files that are stored onto said external memory, without requiring user or other human intervention after said occurrence of said event.

20. A digital picture frame including:
-
a chassis; an internal memory that is located within said chassis and that is configured for storing a first set of image files and configured for storing a software program; an display screen that is configured for displaying at least one of said first set of image files at any one time; a motion sensor that is configured for detecting a motion event occurring within proximity of said chassis; and
where an operating mode of the digital picture frame is selected based upon an occurrence of detecting said motion event.
