RETRIEVAL, IDENTIFICATION, AND PRESENTATION OF MEDIA

摘要

Techniques are provided for concurrently displaying a plurality of media items from different sources, such as different computing devices of a user or social network providers with which the user has an account or with which the user has a social connection to an account. Media items may include digital images, video, text, and executables, or icons thereof. The media items may be analyzed to identify one or more different sets of media items, each set being associated with different criteria. Example criteria include a particular time range, a particular person, and a particular location. Once a set of media items is identified, each media item in the set is assigned to a group based on grouping criteria and displayed based on the group to which the media item belongs.
