Abstract
A wireless communications device (WCD) includes an image processor operable to process information associated with digital images, a storage medium such as random access memory, flash memory, minidisk drive, etc. operable to store digital information associated with digital images. The WCD also includes a wireless communications module, such as a cellular modem, operable to wirelessly communicate with a network operable to communicate with wireless devices. For example, the wireless communications module may configure the information into a formate (i.e. CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.) such that the information may be wirelessly communicated to a network operable to receive image/information.
Claims19
A method for communicating information associated with digital images including the steps of:
- providing a first non-transitory medium having a network location;
- providing a second non-transitory medium, the second non-transitory medium including a wireless digital image capturing device;
- providing a software routine resident on the first non-transitory medium for wirelessly relaying instructions between the first and the second non-transitory mediums;
- detecting a user initiated request communicated wirelessly from the wireless digital image capturing device to wirelessly transmit a digital image from the secondary non-transitory medium to the first non-transitory medium;
- authenticating the user initiated request with a login identification associated with the user and the network location uniquely generated for the user;
- prompting the user to provide identifier information for the digital image wirelessly from the wireless digital image capturing device and encoding the network destination information provided by the user within a portion of the digital image, the network destination information operable to uniquely identify a process for processing the digital image;
- wherein the process for processing the digital image comprises at least one process selected from the group consisting of compressing the digital image, filtering the digital image, generating a thumbnail of the digital image, flagging the digital image for subsequent thumbnail generation, resizing the digital image, converting the digital image to a different digital format, updating a database with the image, converting the digital image to a traditional print, dynamically generating a web site containing the digital image, dynamically generating a web page containing the digital image and combinations thereof;
- and
- updating the network location wirelessly with the digital image and associated identifier information.

- providing a first non-transitory medium having a first network location;
- providing a second non-transitory medium, the second non-transitory medium including a wireless digital image capturing device;
- providing a software routine resident on the first non-transitory medium for wirelessly relaying instructions between the first and the second non-transitory mediums;
- detecting a user initiated request communicated wirelessly from the wireless digital image capturing device to transmit a digital image wirelessly from the second non-transitory medium to the first non-transitory medium;
- authenticating the user initiated request with a login identification associated with both the wireless digital image capturing device and the first network location, encoding image process information and network destination information provided by the user in at least one of a title of the digital image or within a portion of the digital image, the image process information operable to uniquely identify a process for processing the digital image;
- wherein the process information for processing the digital image comprises at least one process selected from the group consisting of compressing the digital image, filtering the digital image, generating a thumbnail of the digital image, flagging the digital image for subsequent thumbnail generation, resizing the digital image, converting the digital image to a different digital format, updating a database with the image, converting the digital image to a traditional print, dynamically generating a web site containing the digital image, dynamically generating a web page containing the digital image and combinations thereof;
- receiving a digital image wirelessly from the wireless image capturing device and storing it in a memory device associated with the first non-transitory medium, designating an associated process to employ on the digital image based on the image process information encoded in the at least one of the title or a portion of the digital image;
- and
- updating the first network location with the digital image.
