  • setting a plurality of image sorts to classify the images received by the communication device, and setting a storage path to store images of each image sort into a storage system of the communication device;

    defining basic characteristics of each image sort, and setting a threshold ratio to identify a similarity with the basic characteristics of each image sort;

    decoding a received multimedia messaging service (MMS) message, and extracting an image from the MMS message;

    identifying at least one characteristic of the extracted image;

    comparing the at least one identified characteristic with the basic characteristics of each image sort to calculate at least one matching ratio of the extracted image with each image sort;

    determining if there is a matching ratio not less than the threshold ratio;

    determining the basic characteristics corresponding to the matching ratio if there is a matching ratio not less than the threshold ratio;

    determining the image sort having the determined basic characteristics; and

    classifying the extracted image into the determined image sort, and storing the extracted image into the storage system according to the storage path corresponding to the determined image sort.
