Abstract

The exposure of consumers to the Internet is opening up broad new markets for data-centric services and products. One of these new markets is that of digital photography. A key to growing this emerging market segment lies in simplifying the mechanisms for connecting digital cameras and other sources of digital images to the Internet. In this paper we describe a number of mechanisms of achieving such connectivity using existing desktop PC and Web technology, and additionally using a new generation of consumer Internet appliances. In addition, details are given of the server-side infrastructure required to support a range of network-oriented services
