Abstract
A method of storing images includes providing an image capturing apparatus. A non-volatile memory medium is inserted into the image capturing apparatus. The non-volatile memory medium is suitable for storing image data. A program is written onto the non-volatile memory medium. The program is capable executing without specific user initiative when the non-volatile memory medium is coupled to a computer to access image data stored in the non-volatile memory medium.
Claims5
A method of storing images, comprising:
- providing an image capturing apparatus;
- inserting a non-volatile memory medium into the image capturing apparatus, the non-volatile memory medium being suitable for storing image data;
- writing a program onto the non-volatile memory medium, wherein the program is capable of being executed without specific user initiative when the non-volatile memory medium is coupled to a computer to access image data stored in the non-volatile memory medium;
- and
- determining whether the inserted non-volatile memory medium has the program, wherein the program is written if it is determined that the memory medium does not have the program.

A method of storing images, comprising:
- providing an image capturing apparatus;
- inserting a non-volatile memory medium into the image capturing apparatus, the non-volatile memory medium being suitable for storing image data;
- writing a program onto the non-volatile memory medium, wherein the program is capable of being executed without specific user initiative when the non-volatile memory medium is coupled to a computer to access image data stored in the non-volatile memory medium;
- and
- formatting the memory medium to make it suitable for storing image data, wherein the program is written onto the memory medium at the time the memory medium is being formatted.
2 more elements
A method of storing images, comprising:
- providing a digital camera;
- inserting a flash card into the image capturing apparatus, the flash card being suitable for storing image data;
- and
- writing a program onto the flash card, wherein the program is capable of being executed without specific user initiative when the flash card is coupled to a computer to access image data stored in the flash card;
- storing a digital image into the flash card;
- providing a computer to access the stored digital image;
- coupling the flash card to the computer, whereby the program is executed without specific user initiative;
- accessing the digital image stored in the flash card using the computer;
- activating a browser installed in the computer according to instructions of the executed program;
- and
- creating a communication link to a website having access to an application software, the application software being suitable for accessing the digital image stored in the flash card;
- wherein the application software is accessed remotely and is not downloaded to access the digital image stored in the flash card.

9 more elements
A method of accessing images captured with a digital camera, the method comprising:
- providing a digital camera having a start-up program that executes without specific user initiative;
- inserting a flash card into the digital camera;
- copying the start-up program onto the flash card;
- storing an image captured by the digital camera into the flash card;
- and
- coupling the flash card to a computer suitable for accessing the stored image, whereupon the start-up program is executed without specific user initiative, the executed start-up program causing an application software to be activated to access the stored image, wherein the application software is available at a remote location from the computer, wherein the application software is activated without downloading core modules of the application software from the remote location.
