Abstract:
An electronic still camera employs digital processing of image signals corresponding to a still image and storage of the processed image signals in a removable static random access memory card (24). An image sensor (12) is exposed to image light and the resultant analog image information is converted to digital image signals. A control processor (20) controls the exposure section (10) and an A/D converter (16), delivering digital signals to a multi-image buffer (18) at a rate commensurate with normal operation of the camera. A digital processor (22) operates on the stored digital signals, transforming blocks of the digital signals and encoding the signals into a compressed stream of processed image signals, which are downloaded to the memory card. The digital processor (22) operates at a throughput rate different than the input rate for better image capture and optimum utilization of the camera.
Abstract:
Embodiments include an apparatus, device, system, computer-program product, and method. In an embodiment, a device includes a user-accessible digital storage medium, and a storage medium manager module. The storage manager module includes a storage manager module operable to save a digital image in a form in the user-accessible digital storage medium, and then alter the form of the saved digital image if a condition is met.
Abstract:
Captured data is stored in a storage element. The captured data represents a record of at least one observed phenomenon. For example, the captured data may represent a still image or a video sequence. In response to a determination that a predetermined condition exists, the captured data is retrieved from the storage element and transmitted over a wireless datalink.
Abstract:
In a recording apparatus that is capable of recording information on a plurality of recording media, i.e., first and second memory cards, the information is recorded on the first and second memory cards simultaneously, the information that has been recorded only on one of the memory cards is left and the information recorded on the other is deleted in dependence upon the available capacities of the memory cards at the end of recording. Performing recording in this manner makes it possible to store continuous data collectively on a single recording medium to the greatest extent possible.
