Theodore Ziemkowski - Loveland CO, US

International Classification:

G06K001/00
G06F015/00
H04N001/00

US Classification:

358/001150, 358/402000

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for cancellation of image signal retransmission by recipient. In one embodiment of the invention, a source device capable of cancelling image signal retransmission from a source device to a target device following an unsuccessful transmission attempt and on receipt of instruction from the target device comprises a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is capable of enabling connection between the source device and the target device via a communication system. When the source device unsuccessfully transmits the image signal to the target device, the first circuit initiates retransmission of the image signal from the source device to the target device at a time following an initial transmission unless otherwise inhibited. The second circuit is communicatively connected to the first circuit, and the second circuit is capable of receiving a control signal from the target device when the source device is connected to the target device. When the control signal meets preselected criteria, the second circuit is capable of inhibiting retransmission of the image signal by the source device.

Appl. No.:

10/104498

Inventors:

Angelica Quintana - Fort Collins CO, US
Ted Ziemkowski - Loveland CO, US

International Classification:

H04N005/225
H04N009/04

US Classification:

348/207100

Abstract:

A log of events that occur to an image file is kept. For example, if the image is e-mailed, printed, edited, etc., the event is recorded in the log. Consequently, a user can review the log and know what has been done with the image file previously. This log is created and maintained automatically. The log may be created when the image file is downloaded to a computer from a digital camera along with a specific instruction or intent of what is to be done immediately with the image file by the computer, e.g., e-mail or print the file. The log may also be created or updated subsequently as the image file is used. The log may be written into the image file or may be written in a separate file that is stored with the image file.

Angelica Quintana - Fort Collins CO, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/225

US Classification:

396429000, 348218100

Abstract:

A camera and related methodology in which a stitched panoramic image may be generated from a series of individual image frames onboard the camera and displayed on the camera display in a “real-time” environment. This allows the user to preview the completed panorama on the camera without the need to first upload the image frames onto a support computer. In this manner, the user is able to identify potential problems with the panorama and, if necessary, reacquire the individual image frames. In order to reduce the amount of onboard processor power and/or memory required, stitching may be performed on relatively lower resolution image frame files within the camera. When the preview indicates that image data for the panorama has been successfully acquired, then the full resolution image data may be uploaded to a support computer for processing.
