Abstract:
The present invention is in the technical field of imaging. It relates to an application used in the photographic field. The invention relates more especially to a process applied in the field of hybrid photography, i.e. based on analog and digital image data. The invention process enables the display of the images on the screen (2) of a terminal (1), from the identifier (14) of an analog photographic support (10) representing said images. The invention process operates the instructions of a program enabling a user of the terminal (1) to display virtually in real time one or more digital images (22) corresponding to the thumbnails (11) of the photographic support (10). The present invention is mainly used by photographers who possess portable terminals that can display digital images.
Abstract:
The invention is in the technological field of imaging, to supply a multimedia application on a terminal (10), using a programming agent. The invention relates to a process to supply, on a terminal (10), a multimedia application using a programming agent (36), comprising the following steps: automatically send from an applications server (20) to the terminal (10) a digital data medium (31) containing the programming agent (36), based on the digital data of a first message initially sent from the terminal to said applications server; automatically extract, from the terminal (10), the programming agent (36) from the digital data medium (31); automatically save the programming agent in the terminal.The invention also relates to an imaging system in which the programming agent manages the communication of digital data among terminals (10) and service platforms (30) that can inter-communicate. The invention is preferably implemented in networks that require the use of mobil terminals.
Abstract:
The invention is in the technological field of imaging. The invention relates to a method to supply a multimedia application on a terminal, using a programming agent. More particularly the invention relates to a method for automatically communicating digital data among many terminals (10, 18, 19) capable of inter-communicating and with an applications server (20), characterized in that programming agents (36) specific to an application are sent from the applications server to each terminal so that the programming agents (36) interact when they are activated on each terminal, to produce a composed multimedia message with a combination of digital data coming from each terminal. The invention is preferably implemented in networks that require the use of mobile terminals.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of annotation of images captured by a digital camera equipped with a previewing means, comprising: the supply with the camera of an operating mode enabling a user to select one image (12) to be annotated, and to capture at least one additional previewed image, the automatic extraction (20) of an annotation (A) from the additional image, and the creation (22) of a new image by combining the annotation (A) and the image to be annotated (12), while respecting, in the new image, a location and enlargement ratio of the annotation virtually identical to those of the annotation in the additional image.
Abstract:
The invention is in the technical field of digital imaging. The invention relates to a camera and a method for linking a person's psychophysiological state to an image, when this person captures the image with the camera. The invention means thus enables the camera user's psychophysiological state to be linked to each of the images he/she captures. The invention relates to a camera (1) equipped, on its external case, with a measuring means (2) of at least one physiological data item of a user, when the user's skin touches the measuring means. The camera (1) is preferably a digital photographic camera, or a digital phonecam. The camera (1) comprises in particular a central processing unit (6) linked to the measuring means (2) and to the converter means (5), so as to perform the linking of the user's psychophysiological state to the captured image. The invention is used by people who possess a camera as described above.
Abstract:
The invention is in the field of digital imaging. The invention relates more specifically to a method for automatically adding and finding characterization data linked to images. The method is implemented in a cellular communications network (1). The method according to the invention is used in a cellular communications network (1), and enables fast, user-friendly and private , management of image characterization data, such as their geolocalization. The invention method comprises the following steps: a) automatically saving, in a mobile terminal (10) comprising a digital image capture means and other digital data linking and saving means capable of communicating with the image capture means, the cell ID (2-N+2) of the network (1) which contains the geographic location (6, 7 & 8) where the capture of at least one image (11) was performed using the mobile terminal (10); b) automatically linking the cell ID containing the geographic location of the image capture (11) with a characterization identifier linked to the image capture entered from the terminal (10), to form a pair of these IDs; c) automatically saving, in the mobile terminal ( I O), the ID pair formed in step b).
