Abstract
A system for tagging multiple digital images includes an electronic device having a display for rendering digital images. An interface in the electronic device receives an input of an area of interest within one of the rendered images, and receives a selection of images from among the rendered images to be associated with the area of interest. An input device in the electronic device receives a tag input based on the area of interest to be applied to the associated images. In one embodiment, the input device is a keypad that receives a manual tag input. Alternatively, portions of the rendered images may be transmitted to a network server. The server may compare the image portions to a reference database to identify the subject matter of the image portions, and generate a plurality of suggested tags based on the subject matter.
