Imaging apparatus with communication function, image data storing method and computer program
First Claim
1. An imaging apparatus with a communication function, comprising:
- communicating means;
address book storing means for storing contact data used in communication by the communicating means;
means for instructing a mode used to create contact data to be stored in the address book storing means or edit contact data stored in the address book storing means;
imaging means which is activated by detecting an instruction issued by the instructing means; and
image storing means for storing image data picked up by the imaging means in association with contact data as a creation or edition target.

Abstract
A CPU detects an instruction to activate an address book mode by detecting an operation of an address book key in an incoming call waiting state, and displays an address book data new creation screen or an existing data edition screen in a main display panel by activating an address book viewing/creation/edition program by using an ROM. When “activation of camera” is selected, an imaging unit is activated, display of a corresponding resolution is set in a monitor display area, and images are sequentially displayed. When a picked-up image is determined by detecting an operation of a determination key, image data of the displayed image is stored in an image memory, a link “1” for image display is set in a corresponding address data area in an address book data storage area, and a record number 001 in the image memory storing the image data is stored in a link information storage area in association with 001 in the address book data storage area.
