    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for “fast” wake-up using virtualized addresses. Action cameras need to conserve power most of the time, but also be immediately responsive to catch action when it happens. Unfortunately, most general-purpose operating systems (e.g., Linux-based) lock up the processor during boot-up. Empirically, an OS boot process might take between 6-7 seconds from start to finish, even in highly streamlined boot sequences. This is undesirable, especially where one device (e.g., a smart phone) triggers an action camera to capture an image. Various embodiments of the present disclosure create “virtual action addresses” that directly expose interrupts as addressable space (via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network). In one such example, the interrupts trigger a capture or other action. The action camera can immediately service the interrupts with its real-time operating system (RTOS) while the general-purpose OS is booting up.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for auto-detecting and auto-connecting communication protocols with respect to an image capture device connected to an accessory device via an interface cable. A method for seamless connectivity including automatically detecting, by one of an image capture device and an accessory device, of a wired connection between the image capture device and the accessory device via an interface cable, automatically initiating, by the one of the image capture device and the accessory device, processing associated with a communication protocol supported by the image capture device and the accessory device, and automatically connecting the image capture device to the accessory device via the communication protocol when the processing is complete.
