REPRODUCING STATE OF SOURCE ENVIRONMENT WHEN IMAGE WAS SCREEN CAPTURED ON A DIFFERENT COMPUTING DEVICE USING RESOURCE LOCATION, RESOURCE NAVIGATION AND POSITIONAL METADATA EMBEDDED IN IMAGE
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating access to a resource represented in an image at a later time, the method comprising:
- implementing a screen capture of an image displayed on a first user'"'"'s computing device;
generating, by a processor, metadata comprising resource location, resource navigation and positional metadata regarding source data of said screen capture image;
embedding said generated metadata into said screen capture image; and
transmitting said screen capture image with said embedded metadata to a second user.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for facilitating access to a resource represented in an image at a later time. A screen capture of an image displayed on a computing device is implemented. Metadata, including the resource location, resource navigation and positional metadata, regarding the source data of the screen capture image is generated. The generated metadata is then embedded into the screen capture image. The screen capture image with the embedded metadata is then transmitted to a different user. By embedding the metadata into the screen capture image, the user receiving the screen capture image will be able to reproduce the state of the source environment when the image was captured using the embedded metadata thereby opening the resource represented in the image.
