Methods and systems for managing bragbook images

1. A digital camera having memory for storing and displaying of digital images, said memory having a first section designated for storing images that are obtained by said digital camera and a second memory section for storing digital images, said second memory section having a protected mode that prevents said digital images in said second memory section from being deleted or overwritten until the user of said digital camera disables the protected mode, when said protected mode of said second section is disabled then said digital camera will overwrite said digital images in said second memory section with said newly captured digital images, said digital images in said second memory section that were overwritten are restored to said second memory section when said digital camera is in communication link with a database that has information for restoring said digital images that have been overwritten and after said newly captured images in said second memory have been removed from said digital camera.

2. A digital camera according to claim 1 wherein said digital images in said second memory section are overwritten only to the extent necessary to store said newly obtained digital images when said protected mode is disabled.

3. A digital camera according to claim 1 wherein said digital images in said second memory section will not be written over until said first memory section can no longer store newly obtained digital images and when said protected mode has been disabled.

4. A digital camera according to claim 1 wherein removal of said newly obtained digital images comprises uploading of said obtained captured images to said database.

5. A digital camera according to claim 1 wherein that when the actual memory requirements needed to store identified images in said second memory section to be stored therein is less than the amount of memory allocated for the second memory section, then excess memory in said second memory section may be used with respect to new images that are obtained by said digital camera.

6. A digital camera according to claim 1 wherein printing of a selected image stored on a digital display and storage device is accomplished via a host device wherein a higher resolution of the selected image is stored and wherein the high resolution image is used for said printing.

7. A digital camera and storage device according to claim 1 wherein the host device has a unique identification where the higher resolution is stored and said unique identification is used to permit authorized communication between said digital display and storage device and said host device.

8. A digital camera and storage device according to claim 1 wherein the digital display and storage device has a unique identification that is used to permit authorized communication between said digital display and storage device and said host device.

9. A digital camera having memory for storing digital images, said memory having a first section designated for storing images captured by said digital camera at a first resolution and a second memory section for storing designated digital images at a second resolution which is less than said first resolution, said second section having a protected mode that prevents said digital images in said second memory section from being deleted and/or overwritten until the user of said digital camera disables the protected mode, when said protected mode of said second section is disabled captured digital images of said digital camera will overwrite said digital images in said second memory section with said newly captured digital images, said designated digital images in said second section being controlled by instructions on a host computer that can communicate with said digital camera.

10. A digital camera according to claim 9 wherein said digital images in said second memory section are overwritten only to the extent necessary to store said newly obtained digital images.

11. A digital camera according to claim 9 wherein said digital images in said second memory section will not be written over until said first memory section can no longer store newly obtained digital images.

12. A digital camera according to claim 9 wherein removal of said newly captured digital images comprises uploading of said newly captured images to said database.

13. A digital camera according to claim 9 wherein that when the actual memory requirements needed to store identified images in said second memory section to be stored therein is less than the amount of memory allocated for the second memory section, then excess memory in said second memory section may be used with respect to new images that are obtained by said digital camera.

14. A digital camera according to claim 9 wherein a selected image stored on digital display and storage device is accomplished via a host computer wherein a higher resolution of the selected image is stored and wherein the high resolution image is used for said printing.

15. A digital camera according to claim 14 wherein the host computer has a unique identification where the higher resolution is stored and said unique identification is used to permit authorized communication between said digital display and storage device and said host device.

16. A digital camera and storage device according to claim 14 wherein the digital display and storage device has a unique identification that is used to permit authorized communication between said digital display and storage device and said host computer.
