First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for associating images with annotation data comprising:
- an automatic annotation data transmission device configured to transmit annotation data that is separated into fields, each field being identified as containing a particular category of annotation data;
an annotation data reception device comprising;
a processor;
a memory electrically coupled to said processor, configured to store images and said annotation data;
a receiver electrically coupled to said processor, configured to receive said annotation data from said automatic annotation data transmission device when an image is captured; and
a user interface through which a user controls said processor to only accept designated fields of said annotation data from said automatic annotation data transmission device for storage in said memory and association with a stored image, wherein said processor is configured to associate accepted annotation data with a corresponding image, andwherein said automatic annotation data transmission device is specific to a particular location where it is disposed and is configured to transmit annotation data specific to said location.
