First Claim
1. A method for managing media files on a digital camera, said method including:
- tagging at least one media file on the digital camera with a content analyzing module, said tagging including at least one of;
tagging the media file with at least one location media tag indicative of the geographic location where the media file was created,tagging the media file with at least one event media tag indicative of an event where the media file was created, andtagging the media file with at least one content media tag indicative of an individual in the media file;
determining a priority of the media file based on priority rules and at least one of the location media tag, the event media tag, and the content media tag;
storing the media file in the digital camera based on the determined priority; and
automatically storing a copy of at least one higher priority media file on a storage device different from a storage device that the higher priority media file is stored on.

Abstract
An embodiment of the invention includes a method for managing media files created by a digital camera. More specifically, a content analyzing module tags a media file with one or more location media tags, event media tags, and/or content media tags. The location media tags are indicative of the geographic location where the media file was created. The event media tags are indicative of an event where the media file was created; and, the content media tags are indicative of individual(s) in the media file. A priority analyzing module connected to the content analyzing module determines a priority of the media file based on priority rules and the location media tags, event media tags, and/or the content media tags. A storage management module connected to the priority analyzing module stores the media file based on the determined priority.
