ASSOCIATED WITH AN EVENT

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[001] The present disclosure generally relates to a system and a method for generating a slide show presentation and more particularly to an online platform for generating the slide show presentation associated with an event in a collaborative manner. Further, the present disclosure relates to a system and a method for sharing media data associated with an event on an online platform.

BACKGROUND

[002] In recent times, with increased connectivity' and globalization, people are getting preoccupied with everyday activities such that occasional social gatherings by way of events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and other cultural festivities have reduced. Users are nowadays relying on one or more devices (for example, a smart phone, a tablet an iPad, and the like), social networking sendees, professional networking sendees, and the like for storing important event reminders, for example, birthdays, anniversaries dates, work anniversaries, and special occasions such as new jobs, promotions date etc. An objective of using various online and offline tools would be to alert or remind a user so that the user does not miss out sending wishes, greetings etc. to friends, family members, and relatives on such occasions.

[003] However, existing social networking services such as Facebook or Linkedln require a user to be actively logged into the platform in order to receive alerts and notifications pertaining to special occasions involving other users logged into the social network. Moreover, such social networking tools do not provide provisions for adding event reminders associated with users who are not a part of the social networking platform. Further, users are typically provided with an interlace on the existing social networking sites to send the wishes, greetings etc., only using predefined templates.

[004] Similarly, in order to share media data captured at an event, each individual user has to share captured media data with of devices of participants invited to the event so that the captured media data can be viewed by the participants. For example, during an event, a plurality of individuals may be engaged in capturing the media data during the event. However, such participants participating in the event (a wedding ceremony, for example) have to individually collect and organize the media data from each other to view the media data.
