Problems solved by technology

The current state of such electronic services leaves much to be desired.
Many of these services have fixed templates and multiple interfaces for project editing, making it tedious to get the desired output.
Other problems with the current state of photo-based services include inflexibility of the editor interface relative to process steps for editing content.
Most such processes are not transparent and could lead to errors in printing and therefore in the final output product.
Furthermore, each typical project is initiated from scratch in a way that does not promote efficiency from start to finish of a project.

Abstract

A system for creating image and or text-based projects includes a server, the server having access to a processor, a data repository, and a non-transitory physical medium. Software running from the non-transitory physical medium provides a first function for establishing a client server connection between the server and at least one user-operated computing appliance connected to the network, a second function for initiating and maintaining an active data session between one or more users involved in project creation and or in project editing through a graphics user interface (GUI), a third function for detecting user-execution of a project template, a fourth function for analyzing the exact nature and state of the template and any content associated therewith, a fifth function for assembling a customized editing interface according to needs determined by the analysis of the fourth function, and a sixth function for presenting the customized interface to the user.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED DOCUMENTS[0001]The present invention claims priority to a U.S. provisional patent application 61 / 707,007, filed Sep. 28, 2012 and entitled “Method and Apparatus for Creating Photobooks”, disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety at least by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is in the field of electronic commerce and pertains particularly to methods and apparatus for streamlining creation and editing of photo-based projects using a graphics user interface on a data network.[0004]2. Discussion of the State of the Art[0005]In the field of electronic commerce also known as ecommerce, there are project-oriented Websites where users may create and edit works including models, poems, art, and photo-based products.
