摘要

A system, method, and user interface for interacting with digital yearbooks, memory books, or other types of photo books via a smartphone or tablet (device). Electronic books can be viewed easily on the user's device. Signatures for the book can be requested from other members of the group, and signatures can be created in others' books integrating various multi-media elements, straight from the user's device. Electronic books with collages on different pages can also be created easily on the device. Such books can also be created collaboratively by a number of users. The users can also communicate with each other as a group, or provide signatures for each other.
