Abstract
A system for automatically associating user-generated data to images, the system comprises a card reading device which receives and recognizes the user-generated data entered directly from manipulation of the terminal by a user. A camera captures an image and receives the data from the card reader device for associating a captured image and the data for forming a labeled image.
Claims19
A system for automatically associating user-generated data to images comprising:
- (a) a card reading device which receives and recognizes the user-generated data entered directly from manipulation of the reader by a user;
- and
- (b) a digital camera for capturing a plurality of digital images which said camera receives the data from said a card reading device and respectively concatenates the user-directed data, if any, to each digital image as directed by a user.
A method for automatically associating user-generated data to images, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving and recognizing the user-generated data entered directly from manipulation of a card reading device by a user;
- and
- (b) capturing a plurality of images by a digital camera which said camera receives the data from said card reading device and respectively concatenates the user-directed data, if any, to each digital image as directed by a user.
A digital camera for capturing a plurality of still digital images, and for automatically associating user-generated data to the still digital images, the digital camera comprising:
- (a) a card reading device which receives and recognizes the user-generated data entered directly from manipulation of the reader by a user;
- and
- (b) memory for storing a plurality of the captured still digital images, which said memory receives the data from said card reading device and respectively concatenates the user-directed data, if any, to each digital image as directed by a user.
