Abstract

A method includes receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data, storing the package in a memory, receiving a request for the image, outputting the image in response to the request, determining a context of the request, determining, using the context of the request, a substitute for the ambient condition data, and outputting the substitute for the ambient condition data with the image.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data;

storing the package in a memory;

receiving a request for the image;

outputting the image in response to the request;

determining a context of the request, wherein determining the context of the request includes determining a location of a requestor generating the request for the image;

determining, using the context of the request, a substitute for the ambient condition data;

outputting the substitute for the ambient condition data with the image; and

displaying the image concurrently with playing the substitute for the ambient condition data, wherein the substitute for the ambient condition data is an audio track.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata comprises data indicative of a cognitive state of at least one of an individual in the image and a photographer.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the context of the request further includes determining preferences set by a requestor generating the request for the image.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining, using the context of the request, the substitute for the ambient condition data further comprises:

communicating the context of the request, via the Internet, to a third party audio identification application, causing the third party audio identification application to determine the substitute for the ambient condition data; and

receiving the substitute for the ambient condition data.

5. A method comprising:

receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data;

storing the package in a memory;

receiving a request for the image;

determining a context of the request;

communicating the context of the request, via the Internet, to a third party audio identification application, causing the third party audio identification application to determine the substitute for the ambient condition data;

receiving the substitute for the ambient condition data; and

displaying, in response to the request, the image concurrently with playing the substitute for the ambient condition data, wherein the substitute for the ambient condition data is an audio track.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the metadata comprises data indicative of a cognitive state of at least one of an individual in the image and a photographer.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein determining the context of the request includes determining a location of a requestor generating the request for the image.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein determining the context of the request includes determining preferences set by a requestor generating the request for the image.

9. A method comprising:

receiving a package comprising an image and metadata of the image including ambient condition data;

storing the package in a memory;

receiving a request for the image;

outputting the image in response to the request;

determining a context of the request, wherein determining the context of the request includes determining preferences set by a requestor generating the request for the image;

determining, using the context of the request, a substitute for the ambient condition data;

outputting the substitute for the ambient condition data with the image; and

displaying the image concurrently with playing the substitute for the ambient condition data, wherein the substitute for the ambient condition data is an audio track.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the metadata comprises data indicative of a cognitive state of at least one of an individual in the image and a photographer.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein determining the context of the request further includes determining a location of a requestor generating the request for the image.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein determining, using the context of the request, the substitute for the ambient condition data further comprises:

communicating the context of the request, via the Internet, to a third party audio identification application, causing the third party audio identification application to determine the substitute for the ambient condition data; and

receiving the substitute for the ambient condition data.
