    Abstract: A system and method for the automatic capture of salient still images in an electronic imaging device includes detecting a high contrast image, notifying a user of the presence of the high contrast image, and capturing a plurality of salient still images to increase the dynamic range of the electronic imaging device. In addition, the system having an exposure control coupled to the electronic imaging device for selecting salient still capture mode, and determined a mode of operation for the capture of the salient still images, and storing the salient still images in a computer readable storage medium.

    Abstract: A method for grouping related images captured with an image capture device includes identifying a first group, the first group distinguishing at least one first image of an image capture method defined in the image capture device, and identifying a second group, the second group distinguishing at least one second image of one or more designated image characteristics, wherein the first and second groups provide structured relationships among images. The first group further includes a natural group and the image capture method further includes a time lapse capture. A system includes a digital image capture device, the digital image capture device capable of capturing and processing digital image data, and a central processing unit within the digital image capture device. The central processing unit further coordinates identification of a first group and identification of a second group, wherein the first and second groups provide structured relationships among images.

    Abstract: A method and system for creating a slide show with real-time audio in a digital camera. First audio is recorded that implicitly includes a time-based time-line. While the audio is being recorded, a plurality of images are captured, where each one of the plurality of images is captured at some time along the time-line. After capturing images, the recording of the audio is ended. The method and system further includes presenting a slide show from the plurality of images and the recorded audio by playing the recorded audio, while displaying each one of the plurality of images on a display device at the time that the image was captured along the time-line of the recorded audio.

    Abstract: A method and system for generating an HTML (hypertext markup language) file including images captured by a digital imaging device, the digital imaging device having a display. A script and it's predefined model are provided to the digital camera. The script is comprised of a set of software program instructions. The digital camera executes the script to display interactive instructions on the display that prompt a user to perform specific operations. In response to the user performing the specific operations, the digital camera automatically updates the interactive instructions, such that the user is guided through a series of related image captures to obtain a series of resulting images. The digital camera then generates an HTML file including the resulting images, wherein the HTML file is formatted in accordance with the predefined model.

    Abstract: A method and system for displaying a series of images captured by a digital camera, which includes a user interface that includes a view finder. The method and system first stores each of the captured images in memory, and then displays a plurality of image cells in the view finder, wherein each of the image cells corresponds to one of the captured images. The method and system further provides at least one of the image cells with an image area for displaying the corresponding captured image, and further provides the at least one image cell with an icon area for displaying additional information regarding the corresponding captured image.

    Abstract: 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 comprising one of a plurality of capture types, and further includes a first command, the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters, the plurality of parameters characterizing the first group as one of at least two image capture group formats, and a second command, the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images, and wherein the related plurality of images are identified through use of the single group. A system includes a digital image capture device, the digital image capture device capable of capturing and processing image data, and a central processing unit within the digital image capture device. The central processing unit capably coordinates an image command sequence, the image command sequence controlling an image capture session and including a first command, the first command initiating the image capture session and formation of a first group, a plurality of parameters, and a second command, the second command ending the image capture session, wherein the image command sequence results in the single group of related images.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing categorized images in a digital camera is provided. In one aspect, a method includes, storing images on a storage media in the digital imaging device, where each image includes at least one tag corresponding to a category for categorizing the images. A category list is generated that includes the categories corresponding to the tags in the images and the category list is stored on the storage media. The category list identifies, for each category, which of the stored images have the tag corresponding to the category. A category within the category list is designated as a default category. The method further includes accessing the image category list in order to display the images, wherein only the identified images of the default category are displayed, thereby speeding access to, and display of, the images.
