Abstract
A software product and a method for automatically updating non-image data stored at a first storage location using a first image application. The non-image data being associated with a digital image of a user. The method includes providing new information with respect to the digital image in a second image application and automatically updating the non-image data at the first storage location with respect to the information.
Claims13
A method for automatically updating non-image data stored at a first storage location using a first image application, said non-image data being associated with a digital image of a user, comprising the steps of:
- providing new information with respect to said digital image in a second image application;
- and
- automatically updating said non-image data at said first storage location with respect to said information.
A method for automatically updating non-image data stored at a first location, said information being associated with a digital image of a user, comprising steps of:
- providing at least one digital image of a user to a remote image server;
- said user granting access to at least one third party to said at least one digital image stored at said remote image server;
- said third party providing information with respect to said at least one digital image using an image application running at said remote site;
- and
- automatically updating said non-image data with said information.
A method for updating non-image data stored at a first location, said information being associated with a digital image of a user, comprising steps of:
- providing at least one digital image of a user to a remote image server;
- said user granting access to at least one third party to said at least one digital image stored at said remote image server;
- said third party providing information with respect to said at least one digital image in an image application running at said remote image server;
- notifying said user of the existence of said information with respect to said at least one digital image;
- and
- automatically updating said non-image data with said information if said user decides to do so.
A method for updating non-image data associated with digital images of a user stored at a first storage location, comprising the steps of:
- granting access to said digital images stored at said first location to at least one third party;
- transferring at least one of said digital images from said first storage location to said third party's computer over a communication network;
- said third party providing information with respect to said at least one digital image in an image application running on said third party's computer;
- notifying said user over said communication network of the existence of said information with respect to said at least one digital image;
- and
- updating said non-image data stored at said first storage location with said information if said user decides to do so.
A software application for working with a digital image stored at a first storage location having associated information provided in a designated format, said software application, when running on a computer, enabling said computer to carry out the steps of:
- obtaining said stored digital image from a first storage location;
- providing additional information with respect to said digital image;
- and
- automatically sending said additional information to said first storage location in said designated format.
A software application for receiving and translating new non-image data associated with a digital image, said non-image data provided by a second image application, said software application, when running on a computer, enabling said computer to carry out the steps of:
- receiving said new non-image data associated with a digital image from said second image application over a communication network;
- translating said non-image data to comply with a designated format, said designated format determined by a first image application for managing and organizing digital images;
- and
- updating said non-image data associated with said digital image stored at said first storage location with said new non-image data.
