Abstract:
A method of manipulating query results comprising the operations of:transmitting from a browser a query to search an image database collection; receiving a result of the search and displaying a plurality of images in the result as simulated slides in a simulated slide sleeve, the simulated slide sleeve including an outline of a vacant area to accommodate additional simulated slides, the simulated slides including a picture region, and a corresponding frame surrounding each picture region to simulate the appearance of a 35 mm slide; moving at least one simulated slide from the simulated slide sleeve to a simulated light table, the at least one simulated slide to be combined with other simulated slides in a group; providing for user-defined sequencing of the simulated slides, the user-defined sequencing including the operations of loading the simulated slides into a simulated carousel, the simulated carousel including an icon to simulate a 35 mm slide projector and a window to display the contents of slides loaded into the simulated carousel; and, processing the group of simulated slides in the order in which said simulated slides are loaded into said simulated carousel.
