System and method for transferring scanned imaging data to a personal imaging repository
First Claim
1. A system for transferring scanned imaging data from a scanning device to a personal imaging repository, comprising:
- a scanning device capable of scanning imaging data;
the scanning device configured to obtain user information relating to a personal imaging repository associated with a particular user for storing imaging data that is to be accessed by remote web services; and
,a device firmware being part of the scanning device for storing scanned imaging data from the scanning device into said personal imaging repository, and being configured to store a link reference to the scanned imaging data in a centralized data store associated to the particular user;
wherein said personal imaging repository is an exchange infrastructure between the imaging data and the remote web services on the Internet by allowing the remote web services to locate imaging data associated with the particular user by accessing the centralized data store.

11. A method for transferring scanned imaging data from a scanning device to a personal imaging repository having one or more imaging data stores for storing the imaging data of a user and a composition store for storing imaging compositions having links to the imaging data, said method comprising:
-
receiving the scanned imaging data; obtaining, by the scanning device, user information relating to the personal imaging repository that identifies an imaging data store and a composition store associated to the user; connecting, by the scanning device, with the imaging data store of the personal imaging repository indicated from the user information; transferring, by the scanning device, the scanned imaging data to the imaging data store; and storing by the scanning device, in the composition store associated to the user, a link reference that identifies a location of the scanned imaging data where the composition store maintains a plurality of link references to a plurality of imaging data that may be stored in separate imaging data stores. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program codes embodied in the medium that when installed in a scanning device linked to a personal imaging repository with an imaging data store for storing the imaging data and a composition store for storing imaging compositions with links to the imaging data, the product causes the scanning device to:
-
receive scanned imaging data; obtain user information relating to the personal imaging repository; connect with the imaging data store of the personal imaging repository indicated from the user information; transfer the scanned imaging data to the imaging data store; and transfer a link to a composition store associated with the user, the composition store being configured to contain link references to a plurality of image data associated with the user that may be stored in different imaging data stores on remote devices.

20. A computer program product comprising readable program codes that when executed causes a scanning device to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving references to a personal imaging repository of a user, the references including a data store reference that identifies an imaging data store for storing scanned image data and a composition store reference that identifies a composition store for storing link references to scanned image data associated with the user; transferring a scanned image data to the image data store using the data store reference; obtaining a link reference to the scanned image data transferred to the image data store; and causing the link reference to be stored in a composition store identified by the composition store reference where the composition store can be accessed by a plurality of remote web services to identify locations of scanned image data associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (21)
