`
`Field of Invention
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The present invention is in the field of computer systems and, more particularly, is
`
`directed to methods and apparatus for managing computer-based digital media libraries.
`
`Discussion of Related Art
`
`30
`
`Muchof the advancement in contemporary computer systems and services stems from
`
`the significant increases in computing power. Hand in hand with those increases, enhanced
`
`features sets have developed designed to utilize that computing power. Conventional wisdom
`
`suggests that the more features that can be provided to a particular computeruser, the better the
`
`user’s experience will be. As computers have become more powerful and capable of providing
`Page 47 of 882
`
`Page 47 of 882
`
`

`

`-2-
`
`more and more features, however, ordinary/typical computer users have not been able to keep
`
`up with availability of features and services. Users may becomefrustrated by the inability to
`
`navigate the myriad (sometime unending) configurations and options provided in order to
`
`achieve something useful and/or workable to their ordinary use. Many users simply don’t take
`
`advantage of provided features. Some outright ignore options and features that would simplify
`
`the use of their computer system; in some instances because the user lacks experience with
`
`new features and doesn’t know the feature can be useful.
`
`User frustration is felt not only with respect to the newer more powerful computer
`
`systems being offered today, but also frustration aboundswith respect to their computer’ s
`
`10
`
`interaction with the Internet. The present movementon the Internet, often referred to as Web
`
`2.0, also subscribes to conventional thinking in that more and more features are being packed
`
`into each and every aspect of the web experience. Often, these on-line services provide very
`
`useful opportunities for the users who know howto take advantage of them - online photo
`
`management/sharing, online financial services, online marketplaces, online exchanges, web
`
`15
`
`hosting, web development, dating services, social networking to name only a few. However,
`
`computer users often simply can’t take advantageof all the functionality offered, either the
`
`services and features offered by their own computer, or the services and features offered by
`
`online providers. The complexity of the interface (both hardware and software) hampers
`
`adoption, as does the volumeof features offered.
`
`20
`
`With the proliferation of digital cameras, digital music players and digital video
`
`players, more and more people are turning to digital audio and video media. For example,
`
`many people have replaced,or at least greatly supplemented, printed photograph albums with
`
`digital photos stored on their computer and/or using an online photo service. Similarly, many
`
`people use digitally stored music and videos rather than, or in addition to, traditional media
`
`25
`
`such as records, compactdiscs, video cassettes, etc. However, due to the complexity and
`
`volumeof digital photography features, services, etc., many users are not taking full advantage
`
`of the capabilities and services available to them.
`
`SUMMARYOF INVENTION
`
`30
`
`Accordingly, aspects and embodiments are directed to methods and apparatus for
`
`managing digital media content that may provide a user-friendly, streamlined user experience.
`
`Various aspects and embodiments are directed to a streamlined computer device and a
`
`graphical user interface that organizes interface elements into views of computer content for
`Page 48 of 882
`
`Page 48 of 882
`
`

`

`-3-
`
`presentation to a user. Various viewsof digital media content permits users to easily and
`
`efficiently access various digital media content. Different views are used to provide an
`
`interface that is responsive to configurations of the device and responsiveto activity being
`
`performed by the user. Aspects include permitting the user to maintain and managedigital
`
`media content libraries
