    摘要: A method for accessing a digital image capture unit via a communication network comprising a server computer system and a client computer system communicatively coupled with communication equipment. In one embodiment, the address of the digital image capture unit is registered in an executable program on the server computer system. The executable program is accessed by the client computer system. The executable program connects the digital image capture unit and the server computer system. The executable program communicates commands between the client computer system and the digital image capture unit, such that data captured by the digital image capture unit is transferred to the client computer system via the server computer system.

    摘要: A system and method for dynamically updating software-driven features in an electronic imaging device (114), including digital cameras, is disclosed. The user of the electronic imaging device (114) may desire various features which are not supported by the baseline application program that is built into the electronic imaging device (114). In the present invention, the user may select removable memory devices to supplement the baseline application program. The user inserts the removable memory device (354) into an external connector (352) of the electronic imaging device. The computer (118) of the electronic imaging device then automatically scans the removable memory device (354) for executable software items, and displays these items in various menus as appropriate. The user may then select these items for execution without having to reboot the computer of the electronic imaging device (114). When the user is finished using the features on the removable memory device (354), he may remove it with no subsequent operator intervention required. The computer (118) of the electronic imaging device (114) then automatically removes from the appropriate menus the executable software items that had been added.

    摘要: A method and system for requesting prints of digital images displayed online is disclosed. The present invention provides a network-based photosharing system that includes a plurality of peer nodes (16a-16d) that contain images and that are capable of communicating with other peer nodes. The method and system include allowing a user of a first one of the peer nodes (16a) to invite (30) at least one visitor to view images hosted on the first peer node, and allowing the visitor to browse the images on the first peer node and to select one or more images to print by filling-out a print request form (32) that identifies only the visitor and the selected images. The method and system further include notifying the user of the submission of the print request form, wherein once notified, the user accesses the print request form, prints the selected images, and delivers the prints to the visitor.

    摘要: The digital camera (110) includes a first button (410) and a second button (411) for interacting with the multiple operating modes. The method and apparatus include mapping an aligned set of mode-specific items in the display (402) to the orientation of the first button. After the mode-specific items are displayed, the user scrolls from one mode-specific item to the next in the aligned set by pressing the first button and the display indicates which of the mode-specific items is a currently active item becomes the active item, additional information corresponding to the currently active item is displayed in the display in a location offset from the active item in a direction of orientation corresponding to that of the second button.

    摘要: A method and system for viewing images from an image capture device (110) on a host computer (112). The method and system include establishing communication between the image capture device (110) and the host computer (112), and mounting the image capture device (110) as a disk on the host computer (112). The method and system further include automatically generating an Internet page description file (140) in the image capture device (110) that references the images stored therein, and accessing the Internet page description file (140) through a standard web browser on the host computer (112). The user may then view the images stored in image capture device (110) on the host computer (112) through the web browser.

    摘要: A method and system (110) is disclosed for accelerating a user interface on a display of an image capture unit. The image capture unit (114) includes a plurality of images files for providing a plurality of images. In the first aspect, the method and system (110) comprises selecting an image based upon a scrolling method and providing a predetermined number of speculation buffer. The method and system (110) includes organizing the predetermined number of speculation buffers based upon the selected images so as to assign each of the predetermined number of speculation buffers to store one of the plurality of images in response to the scrolling method. In second aspect, the image capture unit (114) operates in a plurality of modes. The image capture unit (114) also includes a plurality of input buffers which are utilizing one of the plurality of modes and are unutilized on at least one of the other of the plurality of modes. The method and system (110) in accordance with this aspect comprises reallocating the input buffers as speculation buffers and providing image data from the image files to the speculation buffers when the image capture unit (110) is in the at least one of the plurality of modes.
