Abstract
A method, and corresponding electronic device, receives, at a user interface of the electronic device, a command to capture one or more images. An imager of the electronic device initiates capturing the one or more images. One or more sensors of the electronic device, optionally in conjunction with one or more processors, identify a source of the command to capture the one or more images. The one or more processors can then apply a digital data identifier to the one or more images, the digital data identifier identifying the source of the command to capture the one or more images.

A method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a user interface of the electronic device, a command to capture one or more images;
- initiating, with an imager of the electronic device, capturing the one or more images, the one or more images comprising depictions of one or more persons;
- identifying, with one or more sensors of the electronic device, a source of the command to capture the one or more images and at least one person of the one or more persons;
- applying, with one or more processors of the electronic device, a digital data identifier to the one or more images, the digital data identifier identifying the source of the command to capture the one or more images;
- receiving, with the user interface, another command to send at least one image of the one or more images to a remote electronic device belonging to the at least one person of the one or more persons;
- altering, with the one or more processors, a portion of the at least one image comprising a depiction of the at least one person in response to receiving the another command;
- and
- transmitting, with a communication device, the at least one image;
- wherein the identifying, with the one or more sensors of the electronic device, the source of the command to capture the one or more images comprises selecting a primary user of the electronic device as the source of the command to capture the one or more images when the primary user and a secondary user are depicted in the one or more images.
