Abstract
A system and method for storage and retrieval of pictographic images as computer file names. Upon generation of an input image, the computer saves the image and extracted spatial and temporal information about the generation of the image. The extracted information can be accessed for comparison, ordering and retrieving of stored pictographic file names and subsequent display to the user. Final selection of the desired name is performed visually by the user while viewing a display of the ordered file names via a document browser.
