System and method for displaying digital image files
View Patent ↗A digital image displaying system includes a DPF and an electronic device communicating with the DPF. The DPF has identification information. The electronic device includes a DPF detecting submodule, a image storing submodule for storing digital image files, a DPF managing submodule, and an information transmitting submodule. The DPF detecting submodule detects identification information of the at least one DPF, the DPF managing submodule stores the identification information therein, the information transmitting submodule transmits network location paths of the digital image files of the image storing submodule to the at least one DPF, the at least one DPF receives the network location paths and displays the digital image files stored in the image storing submodule according to the network location paths. A method for displaying digital image files is also provided.
1. A digital image displaying system comprising:
at least one digital photo frame (DPF) networked with an electronic device, the at least one DPF having identification information; and
the electronic device comprising a DPF detecting submodule, a image storing submodule for storing digital image files, a DPF managing submodule, and an information transmitting submodule, wherein the DPF detecting submodule detects identification information of the at least one DPF, the DPF managing submodule stores the identification information therein, the information transmitting submodule transmits network location paths of the digital image files of the image storing submodule to the at least one DPF, the at least one DPF receives the network location paths and displays the digital image files stored in the image storing submodule according to the network location paths.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the DPF managing submodule is capable of editing the identification information of the at least one DPF.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one DPF comprises an information transmitting module for transmitting identification information to the electronic device.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one DPF further comprises a displaying module capable of receiving the network location paths of the digital image files stored in the image storing submodule, and displaying the digital image files according to the network location paths.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a switch; the at least one DPF is networked with the electronic device via the switch; the switch can provide dynamic host configuration protocol service for the electronic device and the at least one DPF.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification information of the at least one DPF may be an internet protocol address or a media access control address.
7. A method for displaying digital image files of an electronic device, comprising:
providing at least one digital photo frame (DPF);
detecting identification information of the at least one DPF by a DPF detecting submodule of the electronic device;
storing the identification information in a DPF managing submodule;
transmitting network location paths of the digital image files of the electronic device to the at least one DPF according to the identification information of the at least one DPF; and
displaying the digital image files by the at least one DPF according to the network location paths thereof.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising copying the digital image files from a storage module of the electronic device to an image storing submodule of the electronic device.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising sending requests for displaying the digital image files from the at least one DPF to the electronic device, after storing the identification information in the DPF managing submodule, and before transmitting network location paths to the digital image files of the electronic device to the at least one DPF according to the identification information of the at least one DPF.
