Abstract: A system and method for capturing, processing, and presenting information includes having customers provide initial information and additional information for use in creating a product for presenting all or a portion of the provided information. A feature of the system and method includes mining the customer-provided information to include other relevant information, not directly supplied by the customer, in the product. A further feature of the system and method includes using the customer-provided information to generate targeted advertising in the form of targeted coupons or other offers for the customer. A further feature of the system and method includes inviting the customers to create an online registry to provide information for use in creating the product.

Abstract: A user interface is presented to a remote user via a network, such as through a computer. A preview command is received from the user. A scanning process (e.g., scanning multiple photographs simultaneously) is initiated at a scanner coupled with the user's computer, in response to receiving the preview command. The act of initiating is performed from a location remote from the user. A single scanned image is obtained through the scanner. A plurality of crop selections are received from the user, all of which are made within the single scanned image. Several regions within multiple scanned photographs may be selected for cropping. A plurality of image files are created based on the crop selections. The plurality of image files may be created in response to the user clicking just once on a button presented by the user interface.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a concrete good and an identifier. The concrete good includes information relating to a particular person, such as a deceased person. The identifier is on or near the concrete good and indicates that additional information relating to the particular person is available online. The identifier may be configured to provide automatic acquisition of the additional information available online in response to scanning the identifier. For instance, the identifier may include a bar code or some other kind of identifier.

Abstract: Methods of providing a registry service and a registry service are provided. A remote storage location houses information regarding an entity or an event, and from time to time the remote storage location receives information regarding the entity or the event. Further, a string associated with a good identifies the storage location, whereupon remote access to the storage location may be achieved, if a proper access level is present. Moreover, a registry service includes an identifying string located on a good along with a tag that uniquely identifies an entity or an event. The service controls storage, which is logically segmented and associated with the tag, and an access set of executable instructions is operable to provide remote access to the logically segmented storage using identifying information to determine the tag. Information regarding the entity and event may also be warehoused such that specific data regarding the entity or event is retrievable remotely upon a request.
