Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating an image file having information about an object. The method of generating the image file having the object information includes the operations of generating image data by taking a picture of the object; receiving the object information from the object through a network; and storing the object information in an image file together with the image data. Accordingly, when a photographing apparatus capable of perform wireless communications generates image data by taking a picture of an object having a wireless communication module, object information is received from the object through wireless communications and is stored together with image data.
