Patent ID: 7468744

Claim:
A system for transferring data, comprising: an imaging device configured to capture said data into data buffers, said imaging device associating a user identifier with said data; a data destination configured to receive said data and said user identifier from said imaging device for subsequent access by a system user, said data destination categorizing said data by referencing said user identifier; and a transfer manager of said imaging device for transferring said data from said imaging device to said data destination, said transfer manager monitoring said data buffers, and transferring said data in a data transfer procedure if a total amount of said data stored in said data buffers is greater than a predetermined threshold amount that is not subject to specific threshold-selection size limitations, said transfer manager performing a repeat transfer procedure whenever said data destination fails to successfully receive all of said data, said transfer manager specifically indicating to said data destination that additional information from said data will subsequently be transmitted as a part of an interrupted transmission from said data transfer procedure, said transfer manager continuing to perform additional ones of said repeat transfer procedure until said data is successfully transferred to said data destination, said transfer manager automatically erasing said data from said data buffers only after a successful transmission message is received from said data destination.
