Correlating Digital Media with Complementary Content
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting digital media content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by data processing apparatus, a plurality of digital images, a digital image being associated with image information that includes either a time of capture of the digital image or a geographic location of capture of the digital image or both;
receiving, by the data processing apparatus, additional information describing events that occurred either during times of capture or at or substantially near geographic locations of capture of one or more of the plurality of digital images;
comparing, by the data processing apparatus, the image information and the additional information to identify one or more events and one or more digital images that are related;
associating, by the data processing apparatus, the identified one or more events and the identified one or more digital images;
detecting, by the data processing apparatus, input to provide the plurality of digital images for presenting; and
providing, by the data processing apparatus, the additional information describing the identified one or more events for presenting with the identified one or more digital images.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for correlating digital media with complementary content. Multiple digital images, that are associated with image information including either a time of capture or a geographic location of capture, and additional information describing events that occurred either during these times or geographic locations of capture are received. The image information and the additional information are compared to identify related events and images, which are associated with each other. Upon detecting input to provide the multiple digital images for presenting, the additional information describing the identified events are provided with the identified digital images.

11. A computer-readable medium, tangibly encoding software instructions, executable by data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of digital images associated with image information describing times of capture of the plurality of digital images; receiving a first plurality of geographic locations identified by geographic location information that includes times at which the first plurality of geographic locations are identified; receiving additional information describing events that occurred over a duration of time and at a second plurality of geographic locations, wherein the additional information is received after receiving the plurality of digital images and the first plurality of geographic locations; correlating one or more events with one or more of the digital images based on determining that one or more of the digital images were captured during the duration that one or more events occurred or substantially near one or more of the second plurality of geographic locations at which the one or more events occurred; and associating the one or more digital images that are correlated with the one or more events with names of the one or more correlated event such that in response to a search query that includes a name of one of the correlated events, the one or more digital images are provided as search results. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus including:
-
an input element; an output element; and processing circuitry operatively coupled to the input element and the output element to perform operations comprising; receiving a plurality of digital images, a digital image being associated with image information that includes either a time of capture of the digital image or a geographic location of capture of the digital image or both; receiving additional information describing events that occurred either during times of capture or at or substantially near geographic locations of capture of one or more of the plurality of digital images; comparing the image information and the additional information to identify one or more events and one or more digital images that are related; associating the identified one or more events and the identified one or more digital images; detecting input to provide the plurality of digital images for presenting; and providing the additional information describing the identified one or more events for presenting with the identified one or more digital images. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method comprising:
-
accessing, by data processing apparatus, a plurality of digital images and metadata associated with one or more of the digital images; identifying, by the data processing apparatus, events associated with complementary digital information, wherein the events are related to the accessed one or more of the digital images, and generating, by the data processing apparatus, an enhanced media presentation comprising one or more of the digital images, at least a portion of the metadata, and the identified complementary information. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)
