Patent attributes
A method of sharing a digital recording between a group of users of digital recording devices (e.g. digital cameras) present at a common event, the method including: (a) creating a digital recording (e.g. a digital photograph) using a digital recording device; (b) subjecting the users' digital recording devices to a synchronization event associated with the common event, the synchronization event resulting in the transmission of a synchronization code between the users' digital recording devices, the synchronization code including an address code to uniquely identify a database; (c) establishing a digital communication connection between the digital recording device which created the recording and the database; (d) causing the database to receive the digital recording without input from a user; and (e) enabling a user to access the digital recording from the database. The invention also provides a digital recording device for creating digital recordings, the digital recording device being communicatively connectable to a data communication network, the the digital recording device being operable to receive a synchronization code and hence to become synchronized with other such digital recording devices, the synchronization code including the address of a database, the digital recording device being configured to make digital recordings available to the database at the address without input from a user on the establishment of a data communication connection between the digital recording device and the data communication network.
