社群網站是近幾年十分流行的活動，尤其是facebook所帶來的熱潮，每個人都或多或少會上傳一些日常生活的照片與好朋友分享。
Summit 6 LLC 於2011.2.23向德州北部聯邦地方法院控告facebook等7家公司，所提供的相片上傳服務及裝置，侵犯其US 7,765,482及US 6,895,557。
二件系爭專利的發明人皆為LISA T. WOOD；Lewis, Scott M.；Fried, Robin T.等三人，所採用的技術皆是一種多媒體提交方法，和其他類似方法一樣都可讓使用者點擊檔案路徑以選取多媒體檔案，不同點在於此方法提供使用者確認提交動作之機會，且在上傳多媒體檔案之前，此方法可對其作修改大小等預先處理動作。
本案被告

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
Samsung Telecommunications America LLC

Title : Web-based media submission tool
Filing Date : 2004.10.8.
Issue Date : 2010.6.27.
Abstract :
The present invention, generally speaking, provides an improved web-based media submission tool. As with some existing tools, operation of the tool is drag and drop or the user can \"click\" to browse a directory to select media objects. Unlike existing tools, the tool provides the user an opportunity to confirm the submission, for example by generating a thumbnail image of an image file that has been dragged and dropped. Batch submission is provided for in which a user drags and drops a plurality of images or other media objects. Submission from a web page to a web page is also provided for. The submission tool is configurable to perform a variable amount of intelligent preprocessing on media objects prior to upload. In the case of digital images, the tool can perform sizing and formatting, for example. Information capture is performed with information being uploaded together with the media objects. In an exemplary embodiment, information capture is both user-transparent (e.g., user ID and/or password) and user-visible (e.g., the user can provide captions for media objects). The submission of information about the user and the media objects facilitates automatic integration of the media objects within existing databases.
