Abstract: A system and method for managing photo releases which includes a digital image capture device a device for display at least a representative image of a captured original image and for displaying a photo release associated with the at least one individual with respect to the captured digital image. The display device provided for the obtaining of an authorization signature by the at least one individual with respect to the original captured digital image; and for associating the authorization signature as metadata with respect to the original image.

Abstract: A device, system, method and software product for storing, maintaining, sharing and displaying of digital images in a common designated collection on at least one portable storage and display device. The device has a first memory section designated for storing images that are obtained by the digital device and a second memory section for storing digital images of the designated collection. The second memory section has a protected mode that prevents the digital images in the second memory section from being deleted or overwritten until the user of the digital display and storage device disables the protected mode. When the protected mode of the second section is disabled then the device will overwrite the digital images of the second memory section with the newly captured digital images.

Abstract: A method for programming a remote control device is disclosed and can include displaying a virtual remote control device at a display device. The virtual remote control device is a virtual rendition of a first remote control device to be programmed. The method can further include detecting when a first button is pressed on the first remote control device and indicating a corresponding button on the virtual remote control device.

Abstract: System and method for creating a graphical user interface. The method comprises the steps of: providing a removable display device having a display for displaying digital images stored on the display device, the display device including a graphical user interface, the display device having a electrical connector; providing a functional module electrically interfaceable with the display device, the functional module providing a function and including stored data to configure the graphical user interface to control the function of the functional module from the display device; automatically transferring the stored data from the functional module to the display device when the functional module is electrically interfaced with the display device; and using the transferred data to configure the graphical user interface.

Abstract: The method of capturing a digital image for viewing from a stream of digital images on a touch display of a digital imaging device includes accessing a stream of digital images comprised of a plurality of individual digital images, selecting an individual image from the stream of digital images by touching the touch display, and automatically saving the selected individual image to a storage device. The method of orienting a digital image for viewing on a touch display of a digital imaging device includes accessing the digital image, the digital image being defined by a plurality of sides, displaying the digital image in a first orientation on the touch display with four corners of the digital imaging device, the display, providing selection means for select at least one of the corners; and automatically displaying the digital image in a second orientation responsive to the selecting of one of the corners.

Abstract: An imaging system and method are provided. In accordance with the method a trigger signal is detected and an image of a scene is captured in response to the trigger signal. The image is presented. A verification mode is determined and the presentation of the captured image is ended at a first ending time when a first verification mode is determined the presentation of the captured image is ended at a second ending time when a second verification mode is determined.

Abstract: Described is a system having a digital camera and a docking unit which permits the docking unit to receive images over a channel and direct them to a viewable display in the digital camera.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for using a display having a predetermined display resolution to show out of focus areas in an archival image having a greater resolution than the predetermined display resolution. In this method, a verification image sized for presentation on the display, is provided. Portions of the archival image that are out of focus are identified. The verification image is blurred so that portions of the verification image that correspond to out of focus portions of the archival image appear out of focus when the verification image is presented on the display. In another aspect a camera system is provided having a source of an archival image with a predetermined resolution and a verification display having an image display resolution that is lower than the predetermined resolution of the archival image.
