Abstract: A photographer computing device is described. The device receives information that specifies option(s) to create a photographic product from a digital image; a list of fulfillment center(s) to generate the product according to the options, and routing information to at least one of the center(s). The device transmits an order for the product to at least one center. The order specifies a method (e.g., at will or within a specified or negotiated period of time) for the device to communicate the image to selected ones of the center(s). The delivery method is independent of receipt of any type of request or prompt for the image from any other computing device including the gateway device and any fulfillment center. The device uploads the image as per the delivery technique and receives confirmation that the order has been received.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creative work registration are described. In one aspect, a processor may perform various steps. An upload of a creative work may be received at the processor. The processor then may create a digital fingerprint for the creative work. The processor then may associate the digital fingerprint with the creative work and associate ownership information with the digital fingerprint and the creative work. The associated ownership information, digital fingerprint, and the creative work may be stored in a database.

Abstract: A system for generating a photographic product from a digital image. A gateway server receives a request from a photographer for a list of options for photographic products. The gateway server transmits a display of a list of options to the photographer. The photographer submits an order for a photographic product to the gateway server. The gateway server then transmits the order to a fulfillment center to process the order. The gateway server then transmits routing information to the photographer for transmitting a digital image to the fulfillment center.
