Abstract: An image intent file is created by a user or a trusted friend containing information about one or more of the common image destinations of the user. These destinations may include email addresses, web sites, local or networked printers, internet printing services, and I-frames (picture-like electronic displays with download capability). The possible image destinations included in the intent file are displayed graphically or textually on the display of the image capture device. For each image, the user is able to select one or more image destinations from the display of the image capture device. When the share function on the image capture device is activated, all images associated with each destination that are contained within the image capture device are sent to the destination with sufficient configuration data such that the destination correctly receives and processes the image or images.
