14. A control method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an external display device;
coupling an electrical interface to the external display device that allows prerecorded images to be displayed on external display device;
coupling a digital camera to the external display device by way of the electrical interface, which digital camera comprises an electrical interface comprising a motion detection algorithm that recognizes predetermined movements of a user and performs predetermined tasks corresponding to the predetermined movements;
performing one or more predetermined movements that cause predetermined tasks to be performed by the camera; and
detecting the one or more predetermined movements using the motion detection algorithm of the camera to cause one or more of the predetermined tasks to be performed by the camera, and change information displayed on the external display device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
