Abstract

A mobile electronic device may request for assistance with taking a photo by a remote camera service component on a remote device. Selective shared control may be facilitated for sensor components of the mobile electronic device to adjust components for taking the photo. The photo may be taken from the remote camera service component based on a shared view of objects in the photo and the selective shared control may expire after taking the photo.

Claims

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

circuitry configured to send, via a network, a request for assistance with taking a photo for the mobile electronic device by a remote camera service component on a remote device;

circuitry configured to establish a connection, via the network, with the remote camera service component on the remote device;

circuitry configured to facilitate selective shared control, to the remote device via the network, of a subset of sensor components of the mobile electronic device to adjust a shutter speed, a flash setting, and a filter setting prior to taking the photo, wherein the photo is taken from the remote camera service component based on a shared view of objects in the photo, the photo is stored by the remote device on a server associated with the mobile electronic device, and selective shared control expires after the taking of the photo; and

wherein the adjustment is made based on transmitted accelerometer data and gyroscope data of the mobile electronic device processed by a motion recognition engine.

2. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 further comprising:

the circuitry further configured to send, via the network, user defined preferences to a computer that controls an environment of a room when the mobile electronic device is in the room; and

wherein the computer adjusts, when the mobile electronic device is in the room, the environment of the room based on an average of the user defined preferences set on the mobile electronic device.

3. A method performed by an mobile electronic device, the method comprising:

sending, by the mobile electronic device via a network, a request for assistance with taking a photo for the mobile electronic device by a remote camera service component on a remote device;

establishing, by the mobile electronic device via the network, a connection with the remote camera service component on the remote device;

facilitating selective shared control, by the mobile electronic device to the remote device via the network, of a subset of sensor components of the mobile electronic device to adjust a shutter speed, a flash setting, and a filter setting prior to taking the photo, wherein the photo is taken from the remote camera service component based on a shared view of objects in the photo, the photo is stored by the remote device on a server associated with the mobile electronic device, and selective shared control expires after the taking of the photo; and

wherein the adjustment is made based on transmitted accelerometer data and gyroscope data of the mobile electronic device processed by a motion recognition engine.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising:

sending, by the mobile electronic device via the network, user defined preferences to a computer that controls an environment of a room when the mobile electronic device is in the room; and

wherein the computer adjusts, when the mobile electronic device is in the room, the environment of the room based on an average of the user defined preferences set on the mobile electronic device.
