摘要： A method for accessing a digital image capture unit via a communication network comprising a server computer system and a client computer system communicatively coupled with communication equipment. In one embodiment, the address of the digital image capture unit is registered in an executable program on the server computer system. The executable program is accessed by the client computer system. The executable program connects the digital image capture unit and the server computer system. The executable program communicates commands between the client computer system and the digital image capture unit, such that data captured by the digital image capture unit is transferred to the client computer system via the server computer system.

摘要： A system (Figure) and method (Figs.4&6) for sharing digital images (21) over a network (11), such as the Internet, wherein the first person (10) desires to send images from a first computer (12) to a second person (34) having a second computer (36) that includes a standard email program (38). The system and method include sending an email request with the images (19) and an address of the second user (Fig.5) from the first computer (12) to a server (20). In response to receiving the email request, the images are stored on the server (28), and the server creates a standard email message (31) from the email request (19). The method and system further include inserting at least one link to the stored images (33) into the email message (31), and transmitting the email message over the network (32) for delivery to the second user (38). The second user may then receive and open the email message on the second computer (36) using the standard email program (38) and click on at least one link to display the images (40).
