Abstract

A digital image display device comprising: a display screen; a processor; a network connection for receiving digital media assets provided by a plurality of individuals; an image memory; a user interface for receiving input from a user of the digital image display device; and a program memory. The program memory stores instructions to execute the steps of: receiving a digital media asset; displaying the received digital media asset on the display screen; determining an asset classification for the displayed digital media asset; selecting a set of classified feedback message choices responsive to the determined asset classification; displaying the selected set of feedback message choices, receiving input from the user to select a particular feedback message choice; and providing an indication of the selected feedback message to the individual who provided the displayed digital media asset.

Claims

1. A digital image display device, the device comprising:

a networked interface configured to communicate with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources;

a display that presents an image received via the networked interface; and

a processor programmed to;

receive feedback regarding the displayed image, wherein the displayed image is one image of a plurality of images from the multiple image sources; and

selectively group the plurality of images according to feedback for each of the images of the plurality of images.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the multiple image sources include images sourced from social media websites.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the images sourced from social media websites include images from a plurality of friend entities.

4. The device of claim 3, wherein each friend entity is tagged with an image metadata as a unique source of a digital media asset.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the feedback regarding each image is associated with the unique source image metadata.

6. The device of claim 5, further comprising a communication interface that communicates the feedback and the unique source image metadata for each image to each of the multiple image sources from which each image was received.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.

8. A method comprising:

communicating, via a networked interface, with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources;

receiving an image, via the networked interface, from one of the multiple image sources via the content and configuration server;

receiving, via a processor, feedback regarding the received image; and

selectively grouping, via the processor, a plurality of images according to feedback received for each of the images.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the image is associated with a social media website.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the images sourced from social media websites include images from a plurality of friend entities.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein each friend entity is tagged with an image metadata as a unique source of digital media asset.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the feedback regarding each image is associated with the unique source image metadata.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising communicating the feedback and the unique source image metadata for each image to each of the multiple image sources from which the image was received.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:

communicating with a content and configuration server that accesses multiple image sources;

receiving an image from one of the multiple image sources via the content and configuration server;

receiving feedback regarding the received image; and

selectively grouping a plurality of images according to feedback received for each of the images.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein images are sourced from social media websites and include images from a plurality of friend entities.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein each friend entity is tagged with an image metadata as a unique source of digital media asset.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the feedback regarding each image is associated with the unique source image metadata.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18, further comprising communicating the feedback and the unique source image metadata for each image to each of the multiple image sources from which the image was received.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the plurality of images is selectively grouped using a feedback classification.
