Abstract
An automatic annotation transmission device including a memory, a processor, and a transmitter, is programmed with information related to a nearby photographic subject, and configured to transmit the information to a properly configured automatic annotation reception device. An electronic image capture device including a memory, a processor, and a receiver is configured to receive information from an automatic annotation transmission device, correlate the annotation information with one or more captured images and store the annotation information in a memory.
