Patent ID: 7697040

Claim:
A method of managing digital images, comprising: entering one of a predetermined image file format, a predetermined image appearance parameter, and predetermined metadata; entering a predetermined first folder address and a predetermined second folder address using a first processor, wherein the predetermined first and second folder addresses correspond respectively to predetermined first and second folder locations on a server; capturing a plurality of digital images with a digital camera after the entering of the predetermined first folder address and the predetermined second folder address and after the entering of the one of the predetermined image file format, the predetermined image appearance parameter, and the predetermined metadata, wherein each of the plurality of digital images has a first resolution; automatically transmitting the plurality of digital images from the digital camera to a first storage device using the first processor coupled to the first storage device via a bus, wherein the first processor and the first storage device are disposed in a housing that is other than the digital camera, and wherein the housing is one of adapted for attachment to the digital camera and adapted for carrying on a user's body; automatically modifying the plurality of digital images using the first processor to create a plurality of modified images, wherein each of the plurality of modified images has a second resolution that is less than the first resolution and includes the one of the predetermined image file format, the predetermined image appearance parameter, and the predetermined metadata, wherein the plurality of modified images is comprised of a first set of modified images and a second set of modified images; automatically transmitting the first set of modified images to the server for storage in the predetermined first folder location using the first processor; automatically transmitting the second set of modified images to the server for storage in the predetermined second folder location using the first processor; automatically generating a first display of the first set of modified images located in the first folder location using the server; and automatically generating a second display of the second set of modified images located in the second folder location using the server, wherein the first display is of the first set of modified images appearing in a first single window on a first screen of a first computer in communication with the server over a network, and wherein the second display is of the second set of modified images appearing in a second single window on a second screen of a second computer in communication with the server over the network.
