    Abstract: A methodology for providing FTP-like server capability to a portable, intermittently-connected device, such as a digital camera device, is described. Using XML syntax, a photo-serving protocols suite supporting FTP-like photo-serving capability is incorporated into a digital camera device (or other portable device), so that digital images (or other files) on that device may be easily accessed by a variety of disparate hosts over standard protocols. If desired, standard (e.g., generic) FTP may be employed instead of the photo-serving protocols. All hosts that are commonly available include implementations of industry-standard TCP/IP protocols on which the photo-serving protocols may be borne. As a result, no host need have a proprietary, one-off solution to bear the photo-serving protocols. The camera device, at the level of the photo-serving protocols, functions in an identical manner no matter what host the camera device is attached to, and no matter how an individual industry-standard protocol suite is borne or implemented. In this fashion, a variety of host devices can access digital photos (or other files or objects) on the camera device with the same ease that a desktop computer may access files from an FTP server, for purposes of receiving or manipulating photographic image information captured on the digital camera device.

    Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于向便携式间歇连接设备(如数码相机设备)提供类似FTP的服务器功能的方法。 使用XML语法,支持类似FTP的照片服务功能的照片服务协议套件被并入到数码相机设备(或其他便携式设备)中,使得该设备上的数字图像(或其他文件)可以容易地被访问 各种不同的主机超过标准协议。 如果需要,可以采用标准(例如,通用)FTP而不是照片服务协议。 通常可用的所有主机包括可以承载照片服务协议的工业标准TCP / IP协议的实现。 因此,没有主机需要拥有专有的一次性解决方案来承担照片服务协议。 无论照相机装置附加什么主机,以及无论如何承载或实现单个行业标准协议组,照相机设备在照片服务协议级别都以相同的方式运作。 以这种方式,各种主机设备可以访问相机设备上的数字照片(或其他文件或对象),同样容易,桌面计算机可以从FTP服务器访问文件,以便接收或操纵捕获的摄影图像信息 在数码相机设备上。
