Abstract
People take more and more digital photos nowadays due to the convenient digital cameras and rapidly growing storage devices. However, people have limited time to browse these tremendous amounts of photos and there is nearly no good ways to reuse them. We present a new concept, Thememory, in this paper. Thememory, refers to Theme With Memory, embeds the photos into the program themes by retrieving the region of interest, as known as ROIs, from the user''s personal photos and synthesizing the themes to become a program theme. Unlike traditional photo browsers that the user has to intentionally arrange a specific time to browse the photos, Thememory utilized users'' fragmented time and programs'' fragmented space, and reuse the tremendous amount of photos in an implicit and efficient way, letting the users embraced by their precious memory while using their computers for doing something. To build this system, we recruit professional designers to design templates of different themes using photos as materials, and then extracted the design principles. Furthermore, we give the interaction features to help users recalling memory with a pleasing user experience.
