ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of imaging. More particularly, this invention relates to transferring image information between an imaging device and a host system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Imaging devices, such as cameras, typically store still or moving (video) image information on film, video tape, or other media. Digital cameras capture image information in digital format and store the image information in memory, such as a flash memory, or on other digital storage media. The digital image information can be downloaded to a host system, such as a personal computer. The image information can then be manipulated by rotating the image, cropping the image, or otherwise altering the image with software applications residing on the host system.
In order to process an image on a host system, a user attaches an imaging device to the host system, initiates application software for interfacing with the imaging device, and transfers image information between the imaging device and the host system. Each of these tasks can take several steps, and may be intimidating for a picture taker who has novice computer skills.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
A method of transferring image information between an imaging device and a host system is disclosed. The host system detects that an imaging device is connected to the host system. In response to detecting the imaging device, one or more images are transferred between the imaging device and the host system.
Other features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description that follows below.
