Abstract

An apparatus comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following: enable the creation of a discrete journal comprising time-stamped user event content taken from a plurality of user applications, the discrete journal relating to a discrete journal timeframe and wherein the time-stamped user event content has time-stamps within the discrete journal timeframe.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
in respect of a particular discrete journal relating to a discrete journal timeframe, the particular discrete journal comprising a plurality of simultaneously displayed types of time-stamped user event content with time-stamps within the discrete journal timeframe, the plurality of types of time-stamped user event content selected from a plurality of photos; videos; maps; screenshots; sound files; documents; e-mails; messages; music playlists; web page bookmarks; e-books; contact information, and calendar entries;
enable the creation of a journal link for a recipient of the journal link, the journal link configured to provide an electronic link to all content in the particular discrete journal;
wherein the journal link is itself formed from at least one item of time-stamped user event image content of the time-stamped user event content from the particular discrete journal for which the journal link is configured to provide an electronic link.

2. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link is itself formed from at least a portion of one or more of the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal for which the journal link is configured to provide an electronic link.

3. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the particular discrete journal comprises the time-stamped user event image content taken from a plurality of user applications.

4. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link is itself formed from a plurality of he time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal for which the journal link is configured to provide an electronic link.

5. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link is itself formed from one or more of: a plurality of, and respective portions of a plurality of, the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal for which the journal link is configured to provide an electronic link.

6. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the particular discrete journal comprises the time-stamped user event image content taken from a plurality of user applications, the particular discrete journal relating to a discrete journal timeframe and comprising the time-stamped user event image content with time-stamps within the discrete journal timeframe, and
wherein the journal link is itself formed from a plurality of the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal for which the journal link is configured to provide an electronic link.

7. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link comprises a single framed image compiled from one or more of the time-stamped user event image content or respective portions thereof.

8. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link, once formed, is configured to be non-editable.

9. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link comprises a single framed image compiled from a plurality of the time-stamped user event image content or respective portions thereof.

10. An apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of the time-stamped user event image content, or respective portions thereof, are arranged adjacent to one another in portrait or landscape format.

11. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link comprises a single framed image compiled from one or more of the time-stamped user event image content or respective portions thereof, with a defined border around the perimeter of the frame, the defined border acting as a defined visual frame for the time-stamped user event image content contained therein.

12. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the journal link comprises a single framed image compiled from one or more of the time-stamped user event image content or respective portions thereof, and wherein the journal link is configured to be at least one of automatically displayed on an electronic device in a standard postcard size or automatically printed by a printer in a standard postcard size.

13. An apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the apparatus is configured to enable the entry of a postal address to be included on the reverse of the printed compiled single framed image to allow for postal delivery of the printed compiled single framed image as a printed standard postcard-size journal link.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured to enable annotation of the journal link to create an annotated journal link, wherein annotation of the journal link comprises including one or more of a title, a date, a time, a textual message, a sender name, a recipient name, a sender avatar, and a recipient avatar with the journal link.

15. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic link to the particular discrete journal is non-actuable, and is configured to not provide a link to access the time-stamped user event image content using an electronic device at a location remote to where the time-stamped user event image content of the particular discrete journal is stored.

16. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic link to the particular discrete journal is actuable, and wherein actuation of the electronic link by a recipient allows the recipient to access one or more of:
the time-stamped user event image content; and
the particular discrete journal with which the journal link is associated;
using an electronic device at a location remote to where the time-stamped user event image content of the particular discrete journal is stored.

17. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured to enable the creation of the journal link by presenting one or more of the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal for selection by a user according to a predetermined selection criterion, and wherein the apparatus is configured to form the journal link from the selected time-stamped user event image content.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined selection criterion for presentation of one or more of the time-stamped user event image content for selection by a user to create a journal link comprises:
presentation of the most recently available time-stamped user event image content in the particular discrete journal;
presentation of the most viewed time-stamped user event image content in the particular discrete journal; and
presentation of time-stamped user event image content designated as favourite time-stamped user event image content in the particular discrete journal.

19. An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured to enable the automatic compilation of the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal to form the journal link according to a predetermined compilation criterion.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the predetermined compilation criterion comprises:
compiling a preset number of the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal;
compiling the time-stamped user event image content from the particular discrete journal in a preset layout;
consideration of the content of the time-stamped user event image content from the particu
