Here are the specific independent claims of the patent 9,936,086 by Leigh M. Rothschild of Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC. Obviously, Shotwell does not violate this patent. Can you think of any prior art that might invalidate the patent? All elements must be present prior to 2008.
1. An image-capturing mobile device, comprising
a wireless receiver;
a wireless transmitter;
and a processor operably connected to the wireless receiver and the wireless transmitter, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a plurality of photographic images;
filter the plurality of photographic images using a transfer criteria wherein the transfer criteria is a subject identification of a respective photographic image within the plurality of photographic images,
wherein the subject identification is based on a topic, theme or individual shown in the respective photographic image;
and transmit, via the wireless transmitter and to a second mobile device, the filtered plurality of photographic images.
4. A method performed by an image-capturing mobile device, comprising:
receiving a plurality of photographic images;
filtering the plurality of photographic images using a transfer criteria wherein the transfer criteria is a subject identification of a respective photographic image within the plurality of photographic images,
wherein the subject identification is based on a topic, theme or individual shown in the respective photographic image;
and transmitting, via a wireless transmitter and to a second image capturing device, the filtered plurality of photographic images.
Imglorp posted elsewhere in this thread suggesting perhaps the Mars Viking spacecraft would serve as prior art which I thought was clever. The only challenge might be whether any spacecraft prior to 2008 had a "filter" function that had a "transfer criteria" of "subject identification" that was "based on a topic, theme or individual shown".
I think the final element of transmitting to a "second mobile device" or a "second image capturing device" would be met by any lander that relayed through an orbiter that also had a camera.
