Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying, via execution of at least one processor device of a computer, a group of images; identifying a set of images from the group as being representative of the group by dividing the group of images into subgroups, each subgroup comprising images with corresponding timestamps when the images were produced, wherein dividing comprises: determining a timestamp sequence that ranges from an earliest timestamp value, associated with a first image in the subgroup, to a latest timestamp value, associated with a last image in the subgroup; comparing the timestamp of each image, beginning with the first image, with the timestamp of a next image according to the timestamp sequence to produce a result; if the result does not exceed a value, including the next images in an existing subgroup; and if the result does exceed a value, closing the current existing subgroup and starting a new subgroup with the next image; selecting an image from each subgroup to serve as a representative image of the subgroup; and creating an animated image to serve as a preview of the group, the animated image configured to display the identified set of images for indicating attributes of content stored in a storage resource.
