Method and system for rendering a collection of media items
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- assembling, at a repository, a collection of one or more media items, the collection identified by a key value;
receiving, at a computing device, a rendering request to render at least a first media item from the collection within one or more media item containers that correspond to at least one web page, the rendering request comprising metadata associated with the one or more media items of the collection, wherein the key value comprises values for associating the rendering request with at least the first media item from the collection and controlling rendering of at least the first media item which includes identifying a media item container for rendering at least the first media item;
identifying, via the computing device, at least said first media item based on the key value, the key value associates the received metadata to the one or more media items; and
transmitting, over a network, at least said first media item from the collection for rendering within the one or more media item containers, wherein said rendering of at least said first media item is contingent upon the key value.

30. A method comprising:
-
assembling, at a repository, a plurality of media items into a collection, the media items including at least one common indicia; publishing, over a network, the at least one common indicia; receiving, at a computing device, a first request identifying the at least one common indicia; generating, via the computing device, a key value based upon receipt of the first request; identifying, via the computing device, the collection by the key value associated with the first request, the key value comprising values for associating the first request with at least one of the media items from the collection and controlling rendering of the at least one media item which includes identifying a media item container within a web page for said rendering of the at least one media item; transmitting, over the network from the computing device, the key value to a client device; and transmitting, over the network from the computing device, at least a first media item within the collection to the client device, wherein the at least said first media item is rendered contingent upon values identified by the key value. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A system comprising:
-
a plurality of processors; a media item repository that stores collections of one or more media items, each of the collections identified by a key value; a media request module implemented by at least one of said plurality of processors that receives a rendering request to render at least a first media item from a collection, the rendering request comprising metadata associated with the one or more media items of the collection, wherein the key value comprises values for associating the rendering request with at least one of the media items from one or more collections and controlling rendering of the at least one media item which includes identifying a media item container from one or more media item containers for rendering of the at least one media item; the media request module identifying at least said first media item based on the key value, the key value associates the received metadata to the one or more media items; a media search module implemented by at least one of said plurality of processors that retrieves at least the first media item from the collection over a network; and a media transmission module implemented by at least one of said plurality of processors that transmits over the network, to a client device, at least the first media item for rendering within said one or more media item containers that correspond to at least one web page, wherein said rendering of at least said first media item is contingent upon values identified by the key value. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40)
