Apparatus, system, methods and network for communicating information associated with digital images

Abstract

A wireless communications device (WCD) includes an image processor operable to process information associated with digital images, a storage medium such as random access memory, flash memory, minidisk drive, etc. operable to store digital information associated with digital images. The WCD also includes a wireless communications module, such as a cellular modem, operable to wirelessly communicate with a network operable to communicate with wireless devices. For example, the wireless communications module may configure the information into a formate (i.e. CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.) such that the information may be wirelessly communicated to a network operable to receive image/information.

         20 . A method for sharing digital images and digital videos comprising the steps of:
 a) providing a first non-transitory medium having a network location;   b) providing a software routine wirelessly downloadable to a wireless communication device, the wireless communication device having a digital image capture capability and a second non-transitory medium;   c) the software routine for wirelessly relaying digital images, digital videos and instructions between the first and the second non-transitory mediums;   d) detecting a first user initiated request communicated wirelessly from the wireless communication device and authenticating the request from the first user with a login identification associated with the first user;   e) the software routine allowing the first user to select at least one digital image or digital video from the wireless communication device and to wirelessly transmit the at least one digital image or digital video from the secondary non-transitory medium to the first non-transitory medium to a network location; and   f) providing wireless access to the at least one digital image or digital video to at least one second user on a wireless communication device having a digital image capture capability and the software routine resident thereon.   
     
     
         21 . The method according to  claim 20 , where in step a) the network location is uniquely generated for the first user. 
     
     
         22 . The method according to  claim 20 , wherein step e) further comprises the step of the software routine allowing the first user to process the at least one digital image or digital video prior to wirelessly transmitting the at least one digital image or digital video from the secondary non-transitory medium to the first non-transitory medium to a network location. 
     
     
         23 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the process comprises at least one of: compressing the at least one digital image or digital video; filtering the at least one digital image or digital video; generating a thumbnail of the at least one digital image or digital video; flagging the at least one digital image or digital video for subsequent thumbnail generation; resizing the at least one digital image or digital video; converting the at least one digital image or digital video to a different digital format; updating a database with the at least one digital image or digital video; dynamically generating a web site containing the at least one digital image or digital video; dynamically generating a web page containing the at least one digital image or digital video; associating a memo with the at least one digital image or digital video; associating a tag with the at least one digital image or digital video; associating an audio recording with the at least one digital image or digital video; and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         24 . The method according to  claim 20 , wherein step f) further comprises providing access to the at least one digital image or digital video to a plurality of second users, each of the second users having a wireless communication device having a digital image capture capability and the software routine resident thereon.
