System and method of copying a media resource
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for retrieving a full image file type associated with a media resource summary presented by a multimedia browser, the method comprising:
- displaying the media resource summary in the multimedia browser in a client device wherein the media resource summary is a reduced-sized image file type;
receiving at the client device a request from a user to retrieve a media resource summary, the user request including a copy event;
in response to a copy event, the client device generating a request for a copy of the media resource summary from a remote server, the copy request including metadata identifying the media resource summary;
intercepting the request for a copy of the media resource summary by the client device;
in response to the intercepting, rather than retrieving the media resource summary, automatically without further user input, sending a request by the client device to the remote server for the full image file type corresponding to the requested media resource summary the request for the full image file type including the metadata from the media resource summary identifying said full image file type; and
the client device retrieving from the remote server the requested full image file type identified by the metadata.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for retrieving full media resources in an online environment by manipulating media resource summaries. Media resource summary copy requests are intercepted and instructions to retrieve a corresponding full media resource substituted. The full media resource, rather than the summary, is placed on a computer clipboard, which allows the full media resource to be inserted by a software application into a document. In varied aspects of the present invention, the types of copy events that may be intercepted include keystroke events, copy events, menu copy events, and “drag and drop” copy events.

12. A computer storage media containing computer instructions when executed performs a method for retrieving a full image file type associated with a media resource summary presented by a multimedia browser, the method comprising:
-
displaying the media resource summary in the multimedia browser in a client device wherein the media resource summary is a reduced-sized image file type; receiving by the client device a request from a user selection to retrieve a media resource summary, the user selection including a copy event; in response to a copy event, generating by a client device a request for a copy of the media resource summary from a remote server, the copy request including metadata identifying the media resource summary; intercepting the request for a copy of the media resource summary by the client device; in response to the intercepting, rather than retrieving the media resource summary, automatically without further user input, sending a request by the client device to the remote server for the full image file type corresponding to the requested media resource summary, the request for the full image file type including the metadata from the media resource summary identifying said full image file type; and the client device retrieving from the remote server the requested full image file type identified by the metadata. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
