1. A system for sequencing electronic files comprising a processing circuit operable to:
- generate a first sequence of files for a sequential display of the files, the first sequence of files including a focus file;
determine at least two characteristics of the focus file;
generate a first group of at least two alternative sequences of different sets of files, each alternative sequence of the first group being based on a corresponding one of the at least two characteristics of the focus file, wherein at least one of the at least two alternative sequences includes one or more files not present in the first sequence, and wherein the focus file is a part of the at least two alternative sequences of files of the first group;
provide first display data to an electronic display, the first display data configured to display in a first view, at least a portion of the first sequence and at least a portion of the at least two alternative sequences of the first group;
receive a selection of a second focus file from one of the at least two alternative sequences of the first group;
determine a characteristic of the second focus file;
generate a second group of at least one alternative sequence of files based on the characteristic of the second focus file; and
provide second display data to the electronic display, the second display data configured to display in a second view, at least a portion of the second group of the at least one alternative sequence of files.

Abstract
Systems and methods for sequencing electronic files include generating a first file sequence and one or more alternative file sequences. An alternative file sequence may be generated based in part on a characteristic of a file in the first sequence. The first and alternative sequences may be used in an electronic slideshow that allows a user to switch between file sequences. In some implementations, which alternative file sequences are generated may be determined based in part on a prediction of characteristics that may be of interest to a user.

17. A computerized method for sequencing electronic images comprising:
-
receiving, at a processing circuit, a request to view a slideshow of digital images having a characteristic specified by a user; generating, by the processing circuit, a first sequence of images having the characteristic; selecting, by the processing circuit, a focus image for the slideshow from the first sequence of images; determining, by the processing circuit, at least two characteristics of the focus image of the first sequence; generating, by the processing circuit, at least two alternative sequences of images, each of the at least two alternative sequences comprising the focus image of the first sequence and one or more images having a corresponding one of the at least two characteristics of the focus image, wherein at least one of the at least two alternative sequences includes one or more images not present in the first sequence; providing first webpage data to an electronic device, wherein the first webpage data is configured to display the slideshow with the focus image, the slideshow being configured to display the focus image in a first area of the slideshow and one or more other images displayed in a second area of the slideshow, wherein the first area is larger than the second area, the slideshow further configured to display a first graphical user interface input to change the focus image to a second focus image in a select one of the at least two alternative sequences; determining, by the processing circuit, a characteristic of the second focus image; generating, by the processing circuit, a second alternative sequence of images having the characteristic of the second focus image; and providing second webpage data to the electronic device, wherein the second webpage data is configured to display the slideshow with the second focus image, the slideshow including a second graphical user interface input to display at least a portion of the second alternative sequence. - View Dependent Claims (18)
