Abstract

DC60 (22/07/45) Disclosure systems and methods for capturing image and / or sound information that process image and / or sound information and store the processed image and / or sound information. The system includes a portable device with a digital camera to capture. Image and / or audio data, an integrated circuit with a microprocessor to process image data. And / or audio and non-volatile memory for storing data, image and / or sound processed from the most commonly used processing operations, the data is converted to a standard compatible file format. Compatible and recognizable by the platform Host to which the portable device may be attached. After converting to format Standard file Data may be stored in non-volatile memory or uploaded. Directly to the hosting platform Systems and methods are disclosed for capturing image and / or audio information, which processes image and / or sound information, and storing the processed image and / or sound information. The system includes a portable device with a digital camera to capture. Image and / or audio data, an integrated circuit with a microprocessor to process image data. And / or audio and non-volatile memory for storing data, image and / or sound processed from the most commonly used processing operations, the data is converted to a standard compatible file format. Compatible and recognizable by the platform Host to which the portable device may be attached. After converting to format Standard file Data may be stored in non-volatile memory or uploaded. Directly to the hosting platform

Claims (3)
