Digital camera connectivity solutions using the picture transfer protocol (PTP)

Abstract

Interconnectivity of digital camera with other devices is one of the main concerns of consumers and digital camera manufacturers. Interconnectivity features in digital cameras allow more consumer-friendly usage of digital cameras. Moreover, with a suitable application layer software, digital photographs can be sent directly from the camera to a desired target: disk storage, printer, Web site, as an e-mail message or Web print, using a single, purpose-designed, communication protocol: the picture transfer protocol, PTP.
