Claims32
An apparatus, comprising:
- a digital camera having a limiting-use component to limit use of the digital camera to a single use-cycle, one or more sensors to capture data associated with one or more images, and a communication port;
- a memory within the digital camera to store raw image sensor data, wherein the communication port to transfer the raw image sensor data to an external processing unit that performs image-processing operations on the raw image sensor data to convert the raw image sensor data into a graphics file of a captured image.
A method, comprising:
- limiting the employ of a digital camera for a single use-cycle;
- configuring the digital camera to transfer raw image sensor data to an external processing unit that performs image processing operations on the raw image sensor data to convert the raw image sensor data into a graphics file of a captured image;
- and
- refurbishing the digital camera for another use-cycle.
