Abstract:
Digital camera (1) is connected to personal computer (2) via communication cable (100). When a user operates a key to delete any one of images recorded on memory card (25) of the digital camera (1), digital camera (1) requests personal computer (2) to delete an image which links to the deleted image and is stored in personal computer (2). When receiving this command, personal computer (2) deletes the image linked to the image deleted from digital camera (1). These processes ensure consistency between an original image stored in the digital camera (1) and a copy image stored in the personal computer (2).
Abstract:
To enable the use of single use digital camera for acquiring, selecting and storing images that allows a customer to submit the captured images for development from a convenient location, while also providing the ability to delete unwanted images, a method is disclosed in which a customer is provided a single use digital camery, which the customer uses for acquiring, selecting and storing data corresponding to digital images, the data corresponding to selected images is received from the customer after the storing of the data and the selecting of the images. The single use digital camera provides no means for the customer to retrieve the stored data in image form. A method comprising additional steps allows the removal of selected ones of the data from the digital camera thereby preparing the camera for reuse. A system that provides means to perform the steps of the method for use of a single use digital camera is also described.

The single use digitial camera provides no means for the customer to retrieve the stored images. A system that provides means to perform the steps of the method for use of a single use digial camera is also described.
Abstract:
A method of managing a file of an image forming apparatus, and an image forming apparatus to perform the method. The method and image forming apparatus includes logging in the image forming apparatus, checking user authentication information corresponding to the logging in the image forming apparatus, displaying a list of document boxes corresponding to the checked authentication information, determining whether a user recycle bin corresponding to the checked authentication information exists in the image forming apparatus, generating a user recycle bin corresponding to the checked authentication information if a pre-generated user recycle bin does not exist, and displaying the generated user recycle bin.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus stores image data generated from a document scanned by a scanner on a removable medium. When storage on the removable medium is not completed, part of the image data that has been stored by that time is deleted from the removable medium.
Abstract:
A camera including a processor and an image sensor, memory device, and communication port that are electrically coupled with the processor. The image sensor captures image data and transmits it to the processor, which sends it to the memory device for storage. After the image data is downloaded from the camera through the communication port, the processor becomes disabled. Preferably, the memory device is a volatile memory device that is permanently connected with a power supply. Preferably, the communication port is a standard USB receptacle. Preferably, the image data is deleted from the memory device after it is downloaded from the camera. Preferably, the camera includes a sealed housing that contains the processor, image sensor and memory device.
