Methods and System for Aggregating Disparate Batches of Digital Media Files Captured During an Event for the Purpose of Inclusion into Public Collections for Sharing

摘要

A system distributed over a network for aggregating multiple disparate batches of media files for inclusion into a collection of media files includes a first computing device on the network for creating and defining a collection, a server on the network for validating the created collection and publishing the collection on the network, and one or more computing devices on the network for receiving a machine readable code notifying of and describing the collection and for contributing media files to the collection. The machine-readable code specifies the collection, the code including collection attributes and a collection identifier and wherein the machine-readable code is rendered available to the one or more computing devices that may contribute to the collection, the code is processed to establish objective criteria for identifying contributed batches of media files for automated aggregation into the collection.
