Customizing digital image transfer
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- transferring a plurality of image files from a memory of a digital imaging device to an external device, wherein the external device comprises an external device database;
accessing a set of image utilization fields of at least one customizable profile, the at least one customizable profile being stored on a database of the digital imaging device;
modifying each transferred image file by the external device in accordance with the set of image utilization fields; and
storing the modified transferred image file along with the set of image utilization fields in the external device for subsequent use;
wherein one of the set of image utilization fields is a unique imaging device identification that is specific to a particular digital imaging device and that permits access to at least one of the customized profiles.

Abstract
A digital camera is disclosed for capturing digital images and organizing the captured images for subsequent transfer from the digital camera to an external device that utilizes the digital images. The digital camera includes a database having a plurality of customized profiles, wherein each customized profile contains a plurality of image utilization fields. A user selects one of the plurality of customized profiles from the database. The digital camera further includes a structure for defining a plurality of profile indices respectively corresponding to ones of the plurality of customized profiles, and an image sensor for capturing images. A profile index is associated with at least one captured image to identify the corresponding selected customized profile. The digital camera further includes a memory for receiving and storing the at least one captured image and the corresponding profile index.
