MANAGING GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION INFORMATION FOR DIGITAL PHOTOS

摘要

Techniques are described for managing geographical location information for digital photos. For example, sensitive geographical areas can be created and privacy options defined for managing digital photos taken within the sensitive geographical areas. The privacy options can comprise an option to not include the current geographical location in digital photos when taken and an option to include a generalized geographical location, instead of the current geographical location, in digital photos when taken. Geographical location information can also be managed when digital photos are shared.
