  • System and method of copying a media resource
    Patent number: 7340483
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for retrieving full media resources in an online environment by manipulating media resource summaries. Media resource summary copy requests are intercepted and instructions to retrieve a corresponding full media resource substituted. The full media resource, rather than the summary, is placed on a computer clipboard, which allows the full media resource to be inserted by a software application into a document. In varied aspects of the present invention, the types of copy events that may be intercepted include keystroke events, copy events, menu copy events, and “drag and drop” copy events.
