20100333210 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SEQUESTERING CONTENT - In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses sequester content receiving content for use in an application; review the content; automatically sequester the content from the application based on the reviewing; and form a reason associated with the sequestering the content. In another embodiment, the methods and apparatuses receive content for use with an application; determine whether the content is one of acceptable content and unacceptable content; remove the unacceptable content from the application; form an explanation for the unacceptable content; and store the unacceptable content and the explanation in an off-line storage device. | 12-30-2010 |
20120056979 | System and method for capturing adjacent images by utilizing a panorama mode - A system and method for capturing adjacent images includes an imaging device with a panorama manager that performs various procedures to manipulate one or more image parameters that correspond to adjacent frames of captured image data. An image-stitching software program may then produce a cohesive combined panorama image from the adjacent frames of image data by utilizing the manipulated image parameters. | 03-08-2012 |
20130113946 | System And Method For Accessing And Utilizing Ancillary Data With An Electronic Camera Device - A system and method for accessing and utilizing ancillary data with an electronic camera device includes a data source that stores various selectable ancillary data files such as image template files, text overlay files, image background files, and special program instruction files. The data source may be implemented in any effective manner, including as a service on an distributed computer network like the Internet, as a discrete electronic device such as a personal computer, or as a removable, non-volatile memory device such as a flash memory. The electronic camera device may then utilize an ancillary data module to access, select, and download the ancillary data files from the data source for subsequently combining with other captured image data to thereby produce new composite images. | 05-09-2013 |
20130346644 | System And Method For Effectively Implementing An Electronic Image Hub Device - A system and method for effectively implementing an electronic image hub device includes a peripheral device, such as a digital camera, that may be periodically connected to the image hub device by a system user. The system user may then utilize the image hub device to transfer captured data from the peripheral device to a specific data destination, such as a user service on a distributed computer network. The peripheral device also may utilize the image hub device to recharge batteries that become depleted through operation of the peripheral device. The system user may then subsequently access and utilize the captured data from the data destination in accordance with the present invention. | 12-26-2013 |
20140036113 | System And Method For Creating Composite Images By Utilizing An Imaging Device - A system and method for creating composite images by utilizing a camera comprises a cradle device that transports the camera across a target area during a scanning procedure that captures and stores image data. During the scanning procedure, a motion detector captures and provides scan motion data to a scanning manager from the camera. The scanning manager may then responsively utilize the scan motion data to accurately extract still frames corresponding to the target area from the captured image data at pre-determined time intervals. A stitching software program may then access and combine the still frames generated by the scanning manager to thereby create composite images. | 02-06-2014 |
20140118564 | System And Method For Accessing And Utilizing Ancillary Data With An Electronic Camera Device - A system and method for accessing and utilizing ancillary data with an electronic camera device includes a data source that stores various selectable ancillary data files such as image template files, text overlay files, image background files, and special program instruction files. The data source may be implemented in any effective manner, including as a service on an distributed computer network like the Internet, as a discrete electronic device such as a personal computer, or as a removable, non-volatile memory device such as a flash memory. The electronic camera device may then utilize an ancillary data module to access, select, and download the ancillary data files from the data source for subsequently combining with other captured image data to thereby produce new composite images. | 05-01-2014 |
20150130912 | PROJECTOR FOR USE WITH TELEVISION DISPLAY - A display system used with a television display. An image projector is supplied with image information that differs from but is related to the television content displayed by the television display. Image information is decoded from the content information supplied to the display system and supplied to the image projector. As a result, the image projector projects an image on a surface separate and apart from the display screen of the television display. | 05-14-2015 |
20150297997 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-PLAYER VIDEO GAMING - Various aspects of a system and a method for multi-player video gaming are disclosed. The system may include a first gaming system communicatively coupled to a second gaming system via a communication network. The first gaming system receives metadata from the second gaming system. The metadata comprises one or more viewing modes associated with a game being rendered at the second gaming system. The viewing modes correspond to in-game views of a user associated with the second gaming system. | 10-22-2015 |
20150302072 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SYNCHRONIZING AND TRACKING CONTENT - In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses synchronizing and tracking content receive a request corresponding to a specific content; review a record associated with the specific content in response to the request; selectively transmit a confirmation for the request based on the reviewing; and perform the request based on receiving the confirmation. | 10-22-2015 |
