ABSTRACT: Consumer electronics (CE) are changing from stand-alone single-function devices to products with increasing connectivity,
convergence of functionality, and a focus on customer experience. We discuss the features that characterize the new generation
of CE and illustrate this new paradigm through an examination of how web services can be integrated with CE products to deliver
an improved user experience. In particular, we focus on one aspect of the CE segment, digital photography. We introduce AutoPhotobook,
an automatic photobook creation service and provide a detailed look at how it addresses the complexity of photobook authoring
through a portfolio of automatic photo analysis and composition technologies. We then show how this collection of technologies
is integrated into a larger ecosystem with other web services and web-connected CE devices to deliver an enhanced user experience.
