DCFirst Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor; and
a mapping module coupled to the memory, the mapping module including;
a data store configurable to organize multiple images according to one or more locations on a map, anda table coupled to the data store, the table configurable to associate metadata for the multiple images with a time line, an image history and a location, the association to enable an instantiation of time-related images from the multiple images at the one or more locations on the map in response to an instantiation of a curser positioned at different locations along an instantiation of the time line.

Abstract
Provided is a computer system and method for providing key frame image mapping. A method includes collecting one or more images of a predetermined area on the map of a physical location; and organizing the one or more images on the map as a function of a time, location, and/or image history parameter. A computer system includes a mapping module including a data store configurable to organize one or more images according to locations on a map and a table. The table can associate metadata for images with a time line, an image history and/or a location. The association can enable an instantiation of a time-related image from images at locations of the map. The mapping module enables a personalized iconographic map of a physical location illustrating icons associated with a catalog of images that are incorporated with the time line. The time line can be associated with a trip taken to an area in a map such that scrolling the time line automatically causes images associated with that time appear as well as the location on the map wherein the picture was taken.
