Problems solved by technology

Users often rely on the camera or the camcorder to store their photo images or video files, including potentially difficult to replace or precious photos and video records.
Thus, if the camera or camcorder becomes damaged or lost, or if the memory card or other storage medium in the camera, video recording device or camcorder becomes damaged or lost, then the user's data may be irreplaceably gone.
Also, if the user purchases a second camera or video recorder and wishes to view photos or videos previously captured on the first camera or video recorder, the user

Embodiment Construction

[0043]FIG. 1 illustrates structures that may participate in a camera 8r video recorder / camcorder synchronization operation according to an embodiment of Applicant's invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the synchronization application 130 may be a software product residing in a recorded medium of a camera or a camcorder 120 for coordinating a synchronization operation with a synchronization server 50 at the central node via web 99. Synchronization application 130 may be implemented as software, hardware or firmware, using a medium that is insertable into the device, such as a card, or a combination of the foregoing. Synchronization application 130 may be included on the camera / camcorder 120 when purchased or may be separately purchased as off the shelf software or as a card medium, or may be downloaded in software form from a vendor of the camera / camcorder 120 or from an independent vendor that sells only the synchronization application 130 but does not sell the camera / camcorder.

Abstract

A camera and another device synchronization system, apparatus, signaling, processor-readable medium, and method are provided. As an apparatus, the camera may include a user content synchronization module for automatically synchronizing image data stored as camera records by the camera with central records stored for the user by a central node remote from the camera, the camera records and the central records comprising at least one of photo images or video files, such that changed central record and camera records are update using the most recent records from the other source. Also, television content and gaming device content may be shared and commanded from another device, such as a mobile communication device or camera.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present application is in the field of user content management and synchronization for cameras and camcorders with user records maintained at a central node, such as at a web server, and porting and sharing data content among other devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The immense popularity of cameras and camcorders has resulted in ever-increasing quantities and types of data that are being stored on cameras and camcorders. Such data includes photo data and other image data, video files and video records, and other content stored for the user at the camera or camcorder as well as at other types of handheld portable device content data.[0003]Digital cameras, camcorders and other video camera equipment store vast amounts of video data. Users often rely on the camera or the camcorder to store their photo images or video files, including potentially difficult to replace or precious photos and video records. Thus, if the camera or camcorder becomes dam...
