1. A method for controlling a setting of an equipment related to image capture, comprising:
- storing, in a memory, a plurality of identifiers each being associated to a predefined region of interest to be treated by the equipment, each region of interest having position information;
displaying, on a touch screen device, a graphical user interface having a plurality of selectable elements each corresponding to a respective one of the identifiers;
receiving a selection of at least one of the identifiers based on an interaction by a user of at least one displayed selectable element; and
outputting a control signal directed to the equipment, in order to control in real-time the setting of the equipment based on the position information of the region of interest associated to the selected at least one identifier;
wherein the interaction by the user corresponds to a tapping motion of one of the selectable elements;
wherein the identifier corresponding to said tapped selectable element is received as the selection of at least one identifier;
wherein the outputted control signal controls the setting of the equipment to the position information of the region of interest associated to the selected identifier;
wherein the equipment related to image capture is a camera; and
where the control signal directs the camera to focus to a position in space defined by the position information of the region of interest associated to the selected identifier.

Abstract
A method and system for controlling a setting of an equipment related to image capture comprises capturing position data and orientation data of a sensing device; determining position information of a region of interest (i.e. a node) to be treated by the equipment, relative to the position and orientation data of the sensing device; and outputting a control signal directed to the equipment, in order to control in real-time the setting of the equipment based on said position information of the region of interest.

11. A method for controlling a setting of an equipment related to image capture, comprising:
-
storing, in a memory, a plurality of identifiers each being associated to a predefined region of interest to be treated by the equipment, each region of interest having position information; displaying, on a touch screen device, a graphical user interface having a plurality of selectable elements each corresponding to a respective one of the identifiers; receiving a selection of at least one of the identifiers based on an interaction by a user of at least one displayed selectable element; and outputting a control signal directed to the equipment, in order to control in real-time the setting of the equipment based on the position information of the region of interest associated to the selected at least one identifier; wherein the interaction by the user corresponds to a sliding motion on the touch screen defining a displacement between two selectable elements, the identifiers associated to said two selectable elements forming the selection; and wherein the outputted control signal controls the setting of the equipment to an intermediate position between the regions of interest of the two selected identifiers in accordance with the displacement. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
