Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system and method which allows for the transfer of data captured by one device to be processed and moved to another location in accordance with pre-established criteria without requiring user interaction at the time of data capture. In one embodiment, images from a camera-equipped phone are transferred to a personal computer through a file server in accordance with pre-established guidelines. The camera-equipped phone generates a digital image, for example by taking a digital photo with a built-in or attached camera, and transmits the digital image over a standard wireless network, for example the cellular GSM/GPRS network, to a file server. The file server receives the digital data from the camera-equipped phone and forwards the data to a pre-identified location, such as the user's personal computer (or to an image processing facility) through the Internet. In one embodiment, the incoming data to the user's PC is directed to specific applications as opposed to simply storing the data in a storage location. In other embodiments, the intermediate server interprets the data and redirects both the location to which the data is delivered as well a…
