SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR VISUALLY IDENTIFYING A PRODUCT'S PRESENCE AND MAKING THE PRODUCT AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a networked computer system comprising:
- receiving, by an image controller of the system, a first notification that an object is ready to be added to a memory of the system, wherein the object is linked to identifying information within the system;
receiving, by the image controller, a plurality of images of the object from a camera configured to capture images of the object, wherein the images are still images that are separated in time from one another and wherein each image is captured based on a defined trigger event that controls when the camera captures that image;
automatically handling, by the images controller, each of the plurality of images to identify whether amaking, by the image controller, each image of the plurality of images available for viewing via a network as a current image as that image is received, wherein each image updates the current image by replacing a previously received image as the current image;
receiving, by the image controller, a second notification that the image is to be removed from viewing because the object has been selected by a viewer of the image; and
marking, by the image controller, the current image to indicate that the object is no longer available.

Abstract
Provided are a system and method for providing repeatedly updated visual information for an object. In one example, the method includes receiving a plurality of images of an object from a camera configured to capture the images, where the images are still images that are separated in time from one another and where each image is captured based on a defined trigger event that controls when the camera captures that image. Each image of the plurality of images is made available for viewing via a network as a current image as that image is received, where each image updates the current image by replacing a previously received image as the current image. A notification is received that the image is to be removed from viewing. The current image is then marked to indicate that the object is no longer available.
