DIGITAL PICTURING DEVICE AND DATA TRANSFER MODE SELECTING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A digital picturing device and a data transfer mode selecting method thereof are provided to perform data communication with a PC more smoothly by previously selecting one of the mode to transfer the data of a currently pictured image to the PC in real-time or the mode to transfer the previously stored image data to the PC. CONSTITUTION: A main storage(220) stores each firmware for two data transfer modes transferring the image data pictured through a camera(210) to an external device(100) in different methods and each descriptor including the ID information of the firmware. A mode selector(254) outputs a mode selection signal for one of the transfer modes. A transmitting module(280) transfers the image data to the external device in the different methods for each transfer mode. A controller(290) controls the transmitting module by setting the transfer method matched with the selected transfer mode, reads the descriptor of the firmware matched with the transfer mode from the main storage if the transmitting module is connected to the external device, and provides the read descriptor to the transmitting module.
