1. A method fir making a media collection associated with an event having an event location, comprising:
- receiving a specification of members in a group;
receiving one or more media elements from each of a plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media element includes a capture location describing a first geographical location at which the media element was captured and a capture time describing a time at which the media element was captured;
receiving one or more media-capture-device signals from each of the plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media-capture-device signal indicates a second geographical location at which the corresponding media-capture device is located;
defining a beginning time of the event directly in response to receiving one or more media-capture-device signals from one or more of the group members indicating that one or more corresponding media-capture devices are at the event location; and
associating one or more received media elements that each have the capture location at the event location and the capture time the same time as or after the defined beginning time of the event with a stored media event collection corresponding to the event.

Abstract
A method for making a media collection associated with an event having an event location, includes receiving a specification of members in a group; using a processor to receive one or more media elements from each of a plurality of media-capture devices, each media element having a capture location; defining the event in response to receiving one or more media-capture-device signals having the event location from group members; and associating media elements having the event location received at the same time or after the event definition with a stored media event collection corresponding to the event for subsequent use.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
-
receive a specification of members in a group; receive one or more media elements from each of a plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media element includes a capture location describing a first geographical location at which the media element was captured and a capture time describing a time at which the media element was captured; receive one or more media-capture-device signals from each of the plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media-capture-device signal indicates a second geographical location at which the corresponding media-capture device is located; define a beginning time of the event directly in response to receiving one or more media-capture-device signals from one or more of the group members indicating that one or more corresponding media-capture devices are at the event location; and associate one or more received media elements that each have the capture location at the event location and the capture time the same time as or after the defined beginning time of the event with a stored media event collection corresponding to the event.

19. A system tier making a media collection associated with an event having an event location, comprising a processing device and a storage device, wherein
the processing device is communicatively connected to the storage device; - and
the storage device is configured to store instructions to cause the processing device to; receive a specification of members in a group; receive one or more media elements from each of a plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media element includes a capture location describing a first geographical location at which the media element was captured and a capture time describing a time at which the media element was captured; receive one or more media-capture-device signals from each of the plurality of media-capture devices, wherein each media-capture-device signal indicates a second geographical location at which the corresponding media-capture device is located; define a beginning time of the event directly in response to receiving one or more media-capture-device signals from one or more of the group members indicating that one or more corresponding media-capture devices are at the event location; and associate one or more received media elements that each have the capture location at the event location and the capture time the same time as or after the defined beginning time attic event with a stored media event collection corresponding to the event.
