    摘要: A method and system for expanding the media types supported in a software controlled digital camera (110) which includes a view finder (348) for displaying a plurality of image cells corresponding to captured images. The method and system includes providing the digital camera with a first media type module (350) that defines a first media type originally supported by the digital camera. The digital camera is also provided with an application program interface that enables the software to access the first media type module. The method and system further includes loading a second media type module (354) into the digital camera that defines a second media type, wherein the second media type module is accessible by the software through the application program interface. After capturing an object with the digital camera, the second media type is associated with the object.

    摘要: A method for systematic generation of one or more image groups to relate a plurality of images as a single group includes providing an image command sequence. The image command sequence controls an image capture session and further includes a first command (700), the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters (702), the plurality of parameters characterizing the first group as one of at least two image capture group formats, and a second command (706), the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images.

    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.

    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 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.
