Method for processing image files using non-image applications
First Claim
1. A device for viewing photographs, comprising a processing circuit comprising a photograph application configured to obtain electronic image files that include images taken by a camera, use data in the image files to obtain data from a second application different than the photograph application, and to use the data from the second application to process the image files.

Abstract
A device is configured to enhance operation using non-image data in an image file. This non-image data may be added to the image file by the device. The non-image data may include event information such as events from a user'"'"'s calendar application, public event information, etc. The non-image data could include data based on a recognition program (e.g. photo-recognition program) run on the image. The non-image data could be added by associating images together. The non-image data could also be from any number of other sources. One embodiment for enhancing operation is the ability to access images in unique ways, such as access all images associated with an event using a calendar application. Another example is to access all images of a contact using a contacts application.
