Abstract

A software routine detects a user selection of an icon on a touch screen of a portable digital image capturing device to communicate a digital image over a wireless network to a destination, and detects a selection of the digital image. The software routine further filters the digital image, identifies a user, and communicates the filtered digital image over the wireless network to the destination.

Claims

1. A wireless digital image capturing device comprising:

a processor operable to;

login a user of the wireless digital image capturing device;

to capture digital image information;

to format the digital image information based on a template associated with a destination without being in communication with the destination;

to provide an interface operable to receive a voice command and to associate at least one real property reference with the formatted image based on the received voice command; and

to communicate the formatted image and at least one real property reference wirelessly.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein the voice command is speaker dependent.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the voice command is speaker independent.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the destination is a database.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein the destination is a website.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein the destination is a webpage.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the image information is video.

21. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one real property reference is a multiple listing reference.

22. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one real property reference is a property address.

23. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one real property reference is a GPS coordinate.

24. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one real property reference is an inventory number.

25. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one real property reference is an insurance policy.

8. A method comprising:

receiving a login at a wireless digital image capturing device;

capturing digital image information;

formatting the digital image information based on a template associated with a destination without being in communication with the destination;

providing an interface for receiving a voice command; and

associating at least one real property reference with the formatted image information based on the received voice command.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the voice command is speaker dependent.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein the voice command is speaker independent.

11. The method of claim 8 further comprising generating a webpage based on the image information.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the webpage is an HTML webpage.

13. The method of claim 8 further comprising communicating the image information to the destination.

14. The method of claim 8 wherein the image information is received using the Internet.

15. The method of claim 8 wherein the image information is received using TCP/IP.

16. The method of claim 8 wherein the image information is received using WAP.

17. The method of claim 8 wherein the image information is video.

18. A method comprising:

receiving image information at a wireless digital image capturing device;

logging in a user of the device to a server;

the wireless digital image capturing device formatting the image information based on a template associated with a destination;

providing an interface for a voice command in the device; and

the wireless digital image capturing device associating at least one real property reference with the formatted image information based on a voice command received by the device, and communicating it wirelessly to the server.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the voice command is speaker dependent.

20. The method of claim 18 wherein the image information is video.
