FINDINGS OF FACT
The record supports the following findings of fact (FF) by a
preponderance of the evidence.
1. Anderson teaches a digital image data processing system that can be
used in a digital camera. (Col. 1, ll. 23-25.) Anderson describes
cameras that capture time lapse or burst images where a sequence of
images is captured over a set time period. (Col. 1, ll. 38-42.)
Anderson also explains that "[u]nfortunately, the related images are
not usually easily identified as belonging together" and that
"attempts[] to manipulate and access these related image as sets are
difficult." (Col. 1, ll. 47-51.)
2. Anderson "provides a method and system for allowing user-
specification of a time-based group of related images." (Col. 1, ll.
57-59.) Parameters, such as the length and the time between image
captures in an image capture session, are provided with a command to
initiate the image capture session. (Col. 1, ll. 60-65; col. 7, ll. 26-30
& 36-40.) Images captured in the image capture session are
automatically related so as to form a user-specified time-based group.
(Col. 1, l. 67 to col. 2, l. 2.)
3. Anderson teaches that individual image files are identified by image
tags. (Col. 6, ll. 10-11.) The image tags may provide indicators such
as the image's position within a sequence of images, as well as other
