Photo-image Discovery Device Database Management
First Claim
1. In a system using a microprocessor executing software instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, a method for managing a database in a photo-image discovery device, the method comprising:
- a photo-image discovery device acquiring photo-images from a photo-capable device;
automatically classifying the acquired, photo-images, without user intervention, in a database management directory; and
,managing the acquired photo-images in a photo-image discovery device storage-in-transit memory-using database management directory rules cross-referenced to classification.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for managing a database in a photo-image discovery device. A photo-image discovery device acquires photo-images from a photo-capable device, and automatically classifies the acquired photo-images, without user intervention, in a database management directory. Then, the acquired photo-images are managed in a photo-image discovery device storage-in-transit memory using database management directory rules cross-referenced to classification. For example, the method may uplink photo-images to a network-connected site in response to their classification. Photo-image classification may be based upon photo-capable device type, photo-capable device ID, image creation data, image creation location, or file format.
