Image content sharing device and method
First Claim
1. An image content sharing device comprising:
- a display;
a memory;
a user input capable of receiving more than one user input action and of providing a user input signal indicative of each of the more than one user input actions; and
a controller operable in an image content presentation mode, wherein the controller causes image content to be presented on the display and at least one other mode;
with the controller being adapted so that when the controller is in the image content presentation mode and detects a user input signal, the controller determines at least one destination, from among more than one possible destination, based upon the user input signal detected and arranges for the presented image content to be automatically transmitted to the at least one destination, with the controller further being operable in at least one other mode, so that when the controller is in the at least one other mode and the controller detects the same user input signal, the controller responds thereto in a manner that is different from the manner in which the controller responds to user input signal when the controller is in the image content presentation mode.

Abstract
Image content sharing devices and methods are provided. The image content sharing device has a display, a memory, a user input capable of receiving more than one user input action and of providing a user input signal indicative of each of the more than one user input actions and a controller. The controller is operable in an image content presentation mode, wherein the controller causes image content to be presented on the display and at least one other mode; with the controller being adapted so that when the controller is in the image content presentation mode and detects a user input signal, the controller determines at least one destination based upon the user input signal detected and arranges for the presented image content to be automatically transmitted to the at least one destination, with the controller further being operable in at least one other mode.

10. An image content sharing device comprising:
-
a display;
a user input circuit having a plurality of inputs adapted to provide differentiable input signals with each differentiable input signal being generated in response to a differentiable user input action; and
a controller operable to receive the set of differentiable input signals and to use the sensed input signals to perform a set of operations, including causing image content to be presented on the display;
said controller further being operable during presentation of the image content, to sense at least a portion of the same set of differentiable input signals and to arrange for the image content to be transmitted to a particular destination, selected from among more than one possible destination, based upon the sensed differentiable input signals. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for operating an image content sharing device comprising the steps of:
-
presenting image content;
detecting at least one user input action during presentation of the image content;
determining a destination from among more than one possible destination for sharing the presented image content based upon the user input action detected during the display of the digital image content; and
arranging for the presented image content to be transmitted to the determined destination without further user input action. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
