First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital imaging system comprising:
- a photo-sensor array configured to capture an image;
an image storage area;
a global positioning system that determines a location where the image is captured;
at least one global positioning system database that provides a name of the location;
a device to determine a direction when the image is captured;
a processor that is configured to name the captured image file as a function of the name of the location and the direction the device was facing when the image was captured.
