Abstract
A system and method provide users the ability to quickly and efficiently transfer images from a scanner to an online web page. In particular, the system can be implemented as follows. A scanner scans an image in order to generate a scanned image. A transferring mechanism takes the scanned image generated by said scanner, and transfers the scanned image to a web device for storage. The web device is located on and accessed by a network. The web device manages and stores scanned images.
Claims24
A method for scanning and transferring images to a web site, the method comprising:
- scanning an image using a scanner;
- determining a location on a network to transfer said image using a control integrated on the scanner, the location corresponding to a world wide web (WWW) location;
- connecting said scanner directly to said network;
- and
- transmitting said image to said location on said network, the transmitting initiated by the scanner.
A system for scanning images to a web site, comprising:
- means for scanning an image;
- means for determining a location on a network to transfer said image, said means including control means integrated on the scanner, the location corresponding to a world wide web (WWW) location;
- means for connecting said scanning means directly to said network;
- and
- means for transmitting said image to said location on said network, the transmitting initiated by the scanner.
A system for scanning and transferring images directly to a web device, said scanner system comprising:
- a scanner for generating a scanned image, said scanner including a control panel;
- a web device on a network, for storing scanned images;
- and
- a scanning mechanism directly coupled to the network for transferring said scanned images generated by said scanner, to said web device for storage, the transferring initiated by said scanner.
