ENHANCEMENT OF DIGITAL IMAGE FILES
First Claim
1. An apparatus for enhancing digital images comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store executable programmed modules;
a processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory computer readable medium configured to execute programmed modules stored therein;
a camera module stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to be executed by the processor, the camera module configured to capture a digital image;
a storage module stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to be executed by the processor, the storage module configured to store the captured digital image in the non-transitory computer readable medium; and
an edit module stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to be executed by the processor, the edit module configured to receive information from a user, associate the information with said captured digital image and store the said captured digital image and the associated information as an enhanced digital image in the non-transitory computer readable medium.

Abstract
An apparatus to enhance digital image files includes at least a digital image file editing capability and may also include a digital image file capture capability. Upon capture of a digital image file, an editing module allows the digital image file to be enhanced by adding information as desired by the user such as context information and subject matter information. The information to be added may be received by the apparatus through a voice interface or a text interface and then converted (if necessary) for storage as metadata associated with the digital image file. The metadata can be stored in a field or in association with a tag that is part of the digital image file format.
