Patent ID: 8176144

Claim:
A method for pseudo real time indexing of digital media files, comprising: capturing at least one digital media file using a network enabled image capture device; connecting the network enabled image capture device to an indexing server over a network; transferring the at least one captured digital media file to the indexing server; indexing the at least one captured digital media file based on probabilistic data for producing indexed data associated with the at least one captured digital media file by: analyzing semantically the content of each digital media file; and classifying each digital media file based on probalistic data of the semantic content; transferring the indexed data associated with the at least one captured digital media file to the network enabled image capture device; updating the at least one digital media file on the network enabled image capture device with the indexed data; transmitting a plurality of the digital media files from the network enabled image capture device to a remote image-product fulfillment center, each digital media file having metadata and indexed probabilistic data of semantic content; using the metadata and indexed data to automatically render an image product using at least one of the plurality of digital media files; and producing the rendered image product by the remote image-product fulfillment center upon selection of the rendered image product by the user.
