The invention relates to a method of annotation of images captured by a digital camera equipped with a previewing means, comprising:

Camera and method for creating annotated images

The invention relates to a method of data transmission by an ad-hoc network of mobile communication equipment (), from at least one source equipment () to at least one collection terminal (), by means of mobile relay equipment (), in which for each communication equipment, at least one quality factor is updated (Q, QQQQQ). According to the invention, the quality factor of each relay equipment depends on a history of data transmission, and data transmission from mobile equipment to mobile relay equipment is conditional on the quality factor of the relay equipment capable of receiving the data.

Method and equipment for data transmission by ad-hoc network

A method of distributing multimedia data from a central distribution station to local equipment including: linking one image characteristic () with at least one set of multimedia data stored by the central distribution station respectively; making available to at least one user of a support () having at least one selection image () in response to the capture of at least one image of the support by the local equipment, and calculating a characteristic of the captured image; searching for a multimedia data set of the central station linked to the image characteristic closest to the characteristic calculated; transferring of the corresponding multimedia data to the local equipment.

Method of distributing multimedia data to equipment provided with an image sensor

The present invention concerns a method for managing a quick distribution of images. The method comprises the following steps: receiving, from a user, at least one image associated with a messaging system address; digitizing said at least one image when the image is not in digital form; storing said at least one image on a server; and sending a message to the messaging system address associated with said at least one image giving the information that said at least one image is available on the server.
