ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a digital image correlated with a phone number to a destination after placing a voice call with the phone number. The method involves (i) maintaining data that correlates phone numbers with digital images, (ii) placing a voice call between a telephone which maintains the data and a device operating under the phone number, (iii) using the data to identify a digital image correlated with the phone number involved in the voice call, and (iv) sending the digital image from the telephone to a destination associated with the phone number. The apparatus may be a camera phone that includes an image-capturing segment, a communication interface, a processor, data storage, and program-logic for carrying out the function of transmitting a digital image correlated with a phone number to a destination, after placement of a voice call with the phone number.
