METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF LOCATION-BASED SPATIAL OBJECT
20180089510 · 2018-03-29 ·

The disclosure is relating to a method and a system for remote management of a location-based spatial object. The system includes a database and a server. The server provides a remote management interface such as in a form of an electronic map or a street view. The interface allows a subscriber to remotely set multiple spatial information for one spatial object. The server receives the spatial object and its corresponding spatial information from the subscriber over a network, combined with various search criteria relating to the spatial object, resulting in the establishment of consolidated information for the location-based spatial object in the database. The system allows an end user to search the location-based spatial object using a mobile device at any place, and the user can obtain the spatial object combined with an instant real scene image.

NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INSTRUCTIONS CAUSING IMAGE OUTPUTTING DEVICE TO EXECUTE OUTPUTTING OPERATION
20180054541 · 2018-02-22 ·

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores instructions which cause, when executed by a processor, a computer to obtaining designated data and designated condition information. The designated data includes the image data and, the designated condition information indicates multiple designated parameters respectively corresponding to multiple items constituting an execution condition for an outputting operation. The instructions cause the computer to transmit parameter request information to a server, receive parameter instruction information including recommendable parameters associated with the group identifying information from the server as a response to the parameter request information, cause the image outputting device to execute the outputting operation using the recommendable parameters included in the parameter instruction information as the parameters for the particular items, and using the designated parameters for the other items.

Cameras with on-board reporting capabilities
09900524 · 2018-02-20 · ·

Described herein is an IR camera that can prepare a report on-board the camera in a standard file format that is substantially universally readable by a number of receiving devices, including but not limited to computers. The report preferably includes at least one IR image, at least one visual image and a table that can be populated with the output of any of the camera's measurement functions or any parametric information (time, date, emissivity, background temperature, GPS location, etc.). The report may also include text, voice, and/or visual/graphical comments and recommendations. The comments may be added directly to the report or hyperlinked to the report.

System for publishing digital images
09866749 · 2018-01-09 · ·

A system for publishing digital images wherein a mobile device (14) that stores at least one digital image generates output signals in response to operator commands. The mobile device (14) communicates with a source of digital instructions (18) thorough a communication network (16) such that digital instructions are downloaded to the mobile device. The mobile device is thereafter in selective communication with a server (12) that stores digital images, maintains a user profile corresponding to the user of the mobile device, and publishes digital images to at least one digital address (24, 26, 28, 30).

CREATING A NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF MEDIA CONTENT AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
20170337170 · 2017-11-23 · ·

This invention relates to creating a narrative description of media content. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method describes content of a group of images. The group of images includes a first image and a second image. A first object in the first image is recognized to determine a first content data. A second object in the second image is recognized to determine a second content data. Finally, a narrative description of the group of images is determined according to a parameterized template and the first and second content data.

USER INTERFACE METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN COMMUNICATING TEXT AND PHOTO MESSAGES
20170249078 · 2017-08-31 · ·

Techniques for use in messaging from a portable communication device having a camera module are described. A first key for causing alphanumeric characters to be sent and a second key for causing a photographic image to be sent are provided on a display. During presentation of the user interface and of the alphanumeric character in a composition portion, a user input indicating selection of the second key is received. In response, a multi-step process is performed, including (a) controlling the camera module to capture the photographic image and (b) send the photographic image.

User interface methods and apparatus for use in communicating text and photo messages
09715340 · 2017-07-25 · ·

Techniques for use in messaging from a portable communication device having a camera module are described. In an instant communication session, the portable device displays a message thread involving two or more participants and a text input field for entering text. In response to an input to capture an image, the portable device automatically captures a photographic image via the camera module, attaches the photographic image to a message, and sends the message to at least one of the two or more participants.

Mobile terminal and method for controlling the same
09674448 · 2017-06-06 · ·

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal providing an image printed out through a photo printer and related information, and a method of controlling the same. The mobile terminal includes a memory, a camera, a display; and a controller configured to cause the display to display a preview image of image data received via the camera and cause the display to display an indicator indicating that an image object included in the preview image corresponds to a specific image stored in the memory when the image object corresponds to the specific image, wherein the specific image has been previously printed out via a printer device.

IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE

An image processing device may judge whether to execute a first type of enlarging process or a second type of enlarging process based on M lines of letter strings in an original image, in a case of judging to execute the first type of enlarging process, generate a first type of processed image data indicating a first type of processed image by executing the first type of enlarging process, and in a case of judging to execute the second type of enlarging process, generate a second type of processed image data indicating a second type of processed image by executing the second type of enlarging process. A layout of the plurality of letters in the second type of processed image is different from a layout of the plurality of letters in the first type of processed image.

Digital media frame

A method and a device for displaying images on a digital media frame is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a memory, a processing unit, a display, an interface circuit, and a display circuit. The interface circuit has at least one receiving port capable of identifying various types of networking protocols that are used to transfer the image data. The processing unit attaches auxiliary information to each image before images are stored in a memory. The display circuit displays images according to the image data received. The digital media frame further contains a user input device, which allows a user to alter the image display sequence.
