Abstract
Method for avoiding unauthorized images of a proprietor'"'"'s information from being transmitted outside the proprietor'"'"'s control. A photographic image captured with a camera incorporated upon the wireless handheld communication device is wirelessly transmitted to a proprietor'"'"'s server. The image is stored on the server after capture and transmission, preferably while the device is still in the photography-restricted geographical area that is under the control of the proprietor of the server. Once at the server, the photographic image is analyzed to determine whether or not the image is authorized for dissemination outside the proprietor'"'"'s control. Local storage of the photographic image can be prevented on the device which assures that the transmission and storage of the photographic image on the proprietor'"'"'s server is exclusive.
