              Application 10/041,207

              step 30 of [the] software program allows the user to obtain digital images             
              from any appropriate source.  For example, as illustrated by FIG. 1, digital           
              images may be obtained by scanning of images by the user, or from a digital            
              device such as a digital camera. . . ."  (Id. ll. 41-46.)  "Alternatively, the         
              images may be obtained from the third party 28 over a communication                    
              network such as the internet 24."  (Id. ll. 46-48.)                                    

                    "In the next step 32, the selected images are reviewed and categorized.          
              (Id. ll. 54-55.)  "After completion of step 32, the images at step 34 are used         
              as desired.  For example, the categorized images would be sent to a data               
              storage file, to a third party, a service provider for obtaining desired goods         
              and/or services, or possibly to a printer."  (Id. ll. 54-60.)                          

                    "In the particular embodiment [described by the reference], there                
              is [sic] provided five (5) selection categories 40, 42, 44, 46, and 48.                
              In particular selection category 40 is directed to 'Who', meaning who are the          
              individuals in the image 44 that are to be identified with the image."  (Col. 4,       
              ll. 23-27.)  "In selection category 40, there is provided a plurality of the           
              image icons 50, 52, 54, and 56 for allowing the user to quickly and easily             
              categorize the image 4[1]."  (Id. ll. 27-30.)  "In the particular embodiment           
              illustrated, icon 50 identifies individual name 'Dan', icon 52 identified the          
              individual 'Sally", icon 54 identifies 'Mom' and icon 56 identifies 'Dad'."            
              (Id. ll. 35-39.)
