DATA FILE AGGREGATION WITH RESPECT TO USER SPECIFIC TEMPORAL RANGE
First Claim
1. A method for aggregating a data file with respect to a user specific temporal range, comprising:
- receiving a user specific temporal range; and
comparing a value within a temporal metadata field of a data file with the user specific temporal range to determine an appropriate data set within which to compile the data file for presentation.

Abstract
A method and system of file aggregation is provided herein. Input is received in the form of a user specific temporal range, and is compared to a value within a temporal metadata field of a data file to determine an appropriate data set within which to compile the data file for presentation. In this way, data files within a particular data set may be selectively presented to a user. For example, if a user begins taking photos at 11 p.m. and continues until 2 a.m. the next day, the user may specify the photos taken between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. are to be compiled into a single data set for presentation, as opposed to presenting the photos in data sets corresponding to different days.

11. A method for aggregating a data file with respect to a user specific temporal range, comprising:
-
receiving the user specific temporal range, the user specific temporal range derived from a user specific calendar; comparing a value within a temporal metadata field of the data file with the user specific temporal range to determine an appropriate data set within which to compile the data file; deriving Global Positioning System (GPS) locational metadata from the data file; correlating a Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset from derived GPS locational metadata; calculating temporal metadata fields comprising of a metadata time alias and a metadata date alias, calculation based upon the GMT offset, a localized GMT, and a metadata created date and a metadata created time; the comparing using the temporal metadata field of the metadata time alias and a metadata date alias for the data file; compiling the data file into an appropriate data set based upon comparing, the appropriate data set named according to a beginning of the user specific temporal range, the appropriate data set comprising the data file compiled according to a metadata time temporal metadata field falling within the user specific temporal range, and the compiling further based upon at least one of; the value being within a proximity of the temporal range; and the value being one of a predefined number of values within a proximity of the temporal range; and presenting the data file within the appropriate data set within at least one of; a user interface; a web browser; and a window.

12. A system for aggregating a data file with respect to a user specific temporal range, comprising:
-
an input component configured to receive a user specific temporal range; and a comparison component configured to compare a value within a temporal metadata field of the data file with the user specific temporal range to determine an appropriate data set within which to compile the data file. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
