Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wireless communication device, a memory device, a wireless communication system, a wireless communication method, and a program recordable medium are possible to attach positional information to image data without changing a hardware configuration of a device such as a digital camera capable of outputting image data. A memory I/F unit receives the image data to which positional information is attached from another device. A memory unit stores the image data input to the memory I/F unit. A storage data analyzing unit extracts the positional information from the image data when image data is stored in the memory unit. A system control unit causes the extracted positional information to be wirelessly transmitted from an RF unit to another wireless communication device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless communication device, comprising: a wired interface that receives image data to which positional information is attached from another device; a wireless communication interface; a storage unit that stores the image data input to the wired interface; a control unit that extracts the positional information from the image data when the image data is stored in the storage unit, and causes the extracted positional information to be wirelessly tra…
