SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGES CAPTURED USING CAMERA-EQUIPPED MOBILE DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of processing images on a mobile device, the mobile device providing a camera operable by a user, the method comprising:
- identifying an image to be stored on the mobile device;
storing the image in a first memory on the mobile device, wherein the image is stored at a first resolution;
providing, after storing the image in the first memory on the mobile device, at least one image storing option comprising an option for specifying a second resolution at which the image is to be stored in a second memory, wherein the second resolution is less than or equal to the first resolution;
receiving input specifying the second resolution at which the image is to be stored in the second memory; and
storing the image at the second resolution in the second memory.

Abstract
A system and method for processing images on a camera-equipped mobile device. Upon direction from the user that a picture is to be taken with the camera of the mobile device, an image is initially captured and temporarily stored at a first resolution (e.g. a maximum resolution). This may be, for example, the highest resolution setting that might be specified by a user of the camera. The user is then queried for a specific second resolution at which the image is to be subsequently stored, for example, in a non-volatile memory on the mobile device.

21. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable on a processor of the mobile device, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to perform the acts of:
-
identifying an image to be stored on the mobile device; storing the image in a first memory on the mobile device, wherein the image is stored at a first resolution; providing, after storing the image in the first memory on the mobile device, at least one image storing option comprising an option for specifying a second resolution at which the image is to be stored in a second memory, wherein the second resolution is less than or equal to the first resolution; receiving input specifying the second resolution at which the image is to be stored in the second memory; and storing the image at the second resolution in the second memory.

22. A system for processing images on a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a processor, at least first and second memories, and a camera, the system configured to execute an application programmed to perform the acts of:
-
identifying an image to be stored on the mobile device; storing the image in a first memory on the mobile device, wherein the image is stored at a first resolution; providing, after storing the image in the first memory on the mobile device, at least one image storing option comprising an option for specifying a second resolution at which the image is to be stored in a second memory, wherein the second resolution is less than or equal to the first resolution; receiving input specifying the second resolution at which the image is to be stored in the second memory; and storing the image at the second resolution in the second memory.

23. A mobile device comprising a processor, at least first and second memories, and a camera, the mobile device configured to execute an application programmed to perform the acts of:
-
identifying an image to be stored on the mobile device; storing the image in a first memory on the mobile device, wherein the image is stored at a first resolution; providing, after storing the image in the first memory on the mobile device, at least one image storing option comprising an option for specifying a second resolution at which the image is to be stored in a second memory, wherein the second resolution is less than or equal to the first resolution; receiving input specifying the second resolution at which the image is to be stored in the second memory; and storing the image at the second resolution in the second memory.
