Abstract: A computer implemented method of displaying an image on a display of a computing device, includes the steps of: (a) displaying an image on the display of the computing device; (b) receiving a user input for drawing a mark on the image indicative of a desired operation to be performed on the image; (c) displaying the mark on the image; (d) determining an operation to be performed on the image based on the mark; and (e) preparing and displaying an image as modified or generated by the operation.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system and computer program product are provided for virtually printing digital content to a searchable electronic database format to facilitate locating or analyzing desired content. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing digital content at a computer system; (b) dividing the digital content into one or more virtual pages; (c) extracting content data from the one or more virtual pages, and storing the content data in a database; and (d) generating associations between the content data and respective virtual pages from which the content data was extracted, and storing the associations in a database.

Abstract: A method for producing a plurality of electronic job pages using a digital camera and a computer comprises the steps of capturing and storing a first group of digital images using the digital camera; designating, in response to a user input, that subsequent captured digital images are to form a second group of digital images; and capturing and storing a second group of digital images using the digital camera. The method further includes the steps of storing data in a memory of the digital camera which identifies the first and second groups of digital images; transferring the first and second group of digital images, and the data identifying the first and second groups of digital images, from the digital camera to the computer; and using the transferred data identifying the first and second groups of digital images to produce a first electronic job page including the first group of digital images and a second electronic job page including the second group of digital images.

Abstract: A method for capturing images using a digital camera and organizing the captured images for storage into electronic albums, comprising the steps of capturing and storing first and second groups of digital images using a digital camera; identifying favorite images for the first and second groups of digital images; storing data in the digital camera identifying the first and second groups of digital images, including data indicating the identified favorite images from the first and second group of digital images; transferring the first and second groups of digital images, and the data identifying the first and second groups of digital images and the identified favorite images, from the digital camera to a computer; producing a first electronic album including the first group of digital images and a second electronic album including the second group of digital images; and using the favorite image from the first group of digital images to represent the first electronic album, and the favorite image from the secon

Abstract: A digital camera comprises an image sensor for capturing a plurality of images; a processor for processing the plurality of images and producing a corresponding plurality of digital image files; a memory for storing the plurality of digital image files; and a mode control for selecting between a normal mode and an on-line sales mode.

Abstract: A method for capturing and grouping digital images using a digital camera includes the steps of capturing a first group of digital images using the digital camera; storing the first group of digital images in corresponding digital image files in a memory in the digital camera; and designating, in response to a user input, that subsequent captured digital images are to form a second group of digital images. The method further includes the steps of capturing the second group of digital images using the digital camera; storing the second group of digital images in corresponding digital image files in the memory; and storing a single control file in the memory separate from the stored digital image files, the single control file containing data identifying the first and second groups of digital images.

Abstract: A method for classifying digital images using a digital camera comprises the steps of capturing and storing a plurality of digital images in corresponding digital image files in the digital camera; and viewing the digital images on a display of the digital camera. The method further includes the steps of identifying one of the plurality of stored digital images as a favorite image; and storing data indicating that the identified digital image is a favorite digital image.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for a host computer to selectively operate on a plurality of image files captured by a digital camera, each image file having at least one digital image. The plurality of captured image files are stored in a memory in the digital camera. The digital camera memory is coupled to the host computer so that the host computer identifies the plurality of captured image files. The host computer identifies the digital camera memory as though it were a file system of an additional hard drive memory for accessing the captured image files. The captured image files are then accessed and selectively transferred from the digital camera memory to the host computer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for accessing at least one image file transferred from a digital camera to a host computer by producing icons representative of portions of each image file, the at least one image file having a digital image and at least one audio data segment. The at least one image file is stored in a memory in the digital camera. The memory is coupled to the host computer so that the host computer identifies the at least one image file, recognizing the presence of the digital image and the at least one audio data segment in the memory. At least two icons are produced which are provided on a display associated with the host computer and which respectively represent the digital image and the at least one audio data segment. The digital image icon or the at least one audio data segment icon is then selectively accessed to cause the transfer of the digital image or the at least one audio data segment from the memory to the host computer for access by a user.
