Zusammenfassung:An electronic device 100 receives, at a user interface, a command 106 to capture image(s); captures image(s) with an imager 107; identifies 108, with sensor(s), a source 102 of the command; and applies 117 a digital data identifier 119 to the image(s) identifying the source of the command. Identifying the source of the command may determine "who took the picture"; it may comprise capturing audio and comparing to reference audio; and/or it may comprise capturing image(s) of an object, scanning the object with a depth imager and comparing the image(s) to reference images and the depth scan to predefined facial maps. In another embodiment, an electronic device comprising imager(s) captures image(s) depicting a plurality of persons; identifies at least one person; receives a command to transmit the image(s) to a remote electronic device belonging to the at least one person; and alters a portion of the image(s) containing a depiction of the at least one person. In a third embodiment, an electronic device detects depictions of a plurality of persons in image(s); identifies a gender for each person; attempts to identify at least one person; and marks any unidentifiable person with a generic identifier corresponding to their gender.
