Publication number: 20160078582Abstract: A method of operating a user device that has a user computing device, non-transitory memory, and a display screen. The method includes sending a data status to a remote computing device that identifies image data not previously stored on remote non-transitory memory in communication with the remote computing device. The method includes, displaying on the user display screen, one or more photos or videos representative of the identified image data, and receiving a storage command regarding storage of any of the displayed one or more photos or videos on the remote non-transitory memory. The method includes communicating the storage command from the user computing device to the remote computing device. The storage command instructs storage or non-storage of one or more photos or videos representative of the image data by the remote computing device on the remote non-transitory memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2015Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: Lineage Labs, Inc.Inventors: Firdaus Bhathena, Jeffrey Anuszczyk, Rakesh Godhani, David Chamberlain, Nancy Dussault Smith
