Patent Images
1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including machine-executable instructions for a method of generating an electronic journal, the method comprising:
- receiving location data from one or more data devices;
determining a travel route from the location data;
receiving a plurality of digital pictures generated along the travel route;
determining a cluster of digital pictures in the plurality of digital pictures are of a same image subject based on timestamps of the digital pictures and an image comparison of the digital pictures;
extracting meta-data from the cluster of digital pictures; and
correlating the meta-data from the cluster of digital pictures with the location data associated with the travel route to generate one or more travel events corresponding to the cluster of digital pictures, each travel event including one or more data recordings associated with a location on the travel route.

Abstract
A system and method of the subject technology automatically generates an electronic journal of a series of events based on input from data sources already used to record the series of events, and then displays those events in an electronic publication representative of the series of events. A GPS track may be used in connection with the series of events to generate the electronic journal in connection with an interactive map.

11. A computer implemented method of generating an electronic journal, comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more computing devices, location data from one or more data devices; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a travel route and a travel period from the location data; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, one or more digital pictures associated with one or more activities related to the travel route; extracting, by the one or more computing devices, meta-data from the one or more digital pictures, the meta-data including one or more timestamps; correlating, by the one or more computing devices, the meta-data with the location data associated with the travel route and the travel period to generate one or more travel events; and generating, by the one or more computing, devices, a chronological storyline representative of the one or more travel events along the travel route and operable to be displayed in combination with an interactive map representative of the travel route, wherein the chronological storyline displays at least one of the one or more digital pictures in connection with displaying the one or more travel events. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A system for generating an electronic journal, comprising:
-
one or more processors; a memory including software that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to; receive GPS data from one or more location-aware data devices; determine a travel route and a travel period from the GPS data; receive one or more digital pictures associated with one or more activities related to the travel route; extract image data from the one or more digital pictures, the image data including one or more timestamps; correlate the image data with the travel route and the travel period to generate one or more travel events occurring during the travel period; and generate a chronological storyline representative of the one or more travel events along the travel route and operable to be displayed in combination with an interactive map representative of the travel route, wherein the chronological storyline displays at least one of the one or more digital pictures in connection with displaying the one or more travel events. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
