Photo Uploader.

Photo Upload allows the user to take photos with a compatible mobile phone and then attach these photos to the information captured on a Digital Form. Multiple photos can be attached to a single digital form. These images along with their form data are uploaded to the servers and can be reviewed using FM and can, in turn, be forwarded to the customer's own servers.

How it works.

The mobile phone user takes a photo with their phone camera. This is stored as a file on the mobile phone. On completion of the Digital Form, all data from the pen is sent to the mobile phone. Any data requiring validation will be validated in accordance with the criteria. Once validation has been successfully passed, the user will be prompted to attach a photo or photos from the list of photos stored on their mobile phone. All selected photos, along with their associated Digital Form data are then transmitted to the servers for full processing. The attaching of photos to a Digital Form can either be set as mandatory or optional. If mandatory, the user will always be prompted to attach a photo along with the form. If optional, the user will only be prompted to attach a photo if the user has ticked the "attach photo" pidget on their Digital Form.

Image Resolution.

The resolution of the photo uploaded to the OntoIT servers is governed by the resolution of the camera on the mobile phone.

Technical Requirements.

Compatible phones must have a camera and run on Symbian series 60 firmware. A list of approved phones is available from OntoIT.
