Excerpt
Excerpt A graphical user interface (GUI) allows a picture database user to enter metadata serving to annotate digital pictures to promote efficient picture database browsing. The annotation is permitted, not just for individual pictures, but for groups of pictures. The annotation information can be entered quickly, via a user-friendly interface (200, 204, 206), and can contain “social” information (via 116, 118 and 120) about groups of pictures (130–146), such as capture location, date and time, people or objects featured in groups of pictures, and events recorded by a group of pictures. |

Prior art claim 1. A method of, via a graphical user interface (GUI), annotating picture information for pictures in a picture database, said method comprising the steps of:
generating a user-friendly display with picture indicia representing captured pictures;
in response to on-screen user input that identifies a plurality of the captured pictures as belonging to a group;
providing a single presentation of an information entry area for receiving information once about the group of pictures;
accepting customized metadata being input on-screen at one time by said user to the information entry area, said metadata characterizing said group of pictures; and
automatically associating the accepted customized metadata with each of the pictures of the group.
The prior art discloses receiving a metadata user input and selecting a particular resource/object from the user interface. Though, the prior art discloses the UI for picture browsing, in a broader context it can be used for browsing and retreiving any content in the user interface.
