Digital camera that sends electronic mail with event information

Abstract

A portable telephone is equipped with a camera and includes an image sensor that is included in the camera and that outputs image data. The portable telephone also includes a processor configured to: (i) associate the image data with position information denoting a position at which the image data is output by the image sensor; (ii) control storage of the image data to a storage medium; (iii) select the image data related to the position information in the storage medium; (iv) acquire information indicating a map based on the position information related to the selected image data; and (v) create textual content to be sent to a destination based on the position information. The portable telephone further includes a communication circuit that sends the textual content, the image data and the information indicating the map to the destination.

1 . A portable telephone equipped with a camera, the portable telephone comprising:
 an image sensor that is included in the camera and that outputs image data;   a processor configured to:
 associate the image data with position information denoting a position at which the image data is output by the image sensor; 
 control storage of the image data to a storage medium; 
 select the image data related to the position information in the storage medium; 
 acquire information indicating a map based on the position information related to the selected image data; and 
 create textual content to be sent to a destination based on the position information; and 
   a communication circuit that sends the textual content, the image data and the information indicating the map to the destination.   
     
     
         2 . The portable telephone according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is further configured to edit the textual content by operation of a user of the portable telephone.   
     
     
         3 . The portable telephone according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a display that displays the textual content created by the processor and an image based on the image data.   
     
     
         4 . The portable telephone according to  claim 3 , wherein:
 the display displays a plurality of addresses as destinations of the textual content set by a user; and   the communication circuit sends the textual content to the plurality of addresses as the destinations.   
     
     
         5 . A method involving a portable telephone equipped with a camera, the method comprising:
 outputting image data by an image sensor of the camera;   associating the image data with position information denoting a position at which the image data is output by the image sensor;   storing the image data;   selecting the image data related to the position information;   acquiring information indicating a map based on the position information related to the selected image data;   creating textual content to be sent to a destination based on the position information; and   sending the textual content, the image data and the information indicating the map to the destination.   
     
     
         6 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having an executable control program stored therein, the control program causing a processor of a portable telephone equipped with a camera to perform a process comprising:
 outputting image data by an image sensor of the camera;   associating the image data with position information denoting a position at which the image data is output by the image sensor;   storing the image data;   selecting the image data related to the position information;   acquiring information indicating a map based on the position information related to the selected image data;   creating textual content to be sent to a destination based on the position information; and   sending the textual content, the image data and the information indicating the map to the destination.
