METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STREAMLINED WIRELESS DATA TRANSFER
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least a first interface system comprising;
a sensor interface portion for receiving an input of successive frames of a moving image from a video capture device;
a processor portion that causes the input of successive frames of the moving image to be stabilized, compressed, and averaged,wherein the stabilization of the successive frames of the moving image reduces the effects of unintended motion of the video capture device and is utilized to determine a feedback control,wherein the processor portion utilizes the feedback control to cause the moving image to remain substantially centered within the individual frames of the input of successive frames of the moving image by causing the adjustment of the video capture device; and
,a transmission component portion for transmitting the stabilized, compressed, and averaged input of successive frames of a moving image across a network.

Abstract
An apparatus having at least a first interface system. The at least a first interface system has a sensor interface portion for receiving an input of successive frames of a moving image from a video capture device; a processor portion that causes the input of successive frames of the moving image to be stabilized, compressed, and averaged, and a transmission component portion for transmitting the stabilized, compressed, and averaged input of successive frames of a moving image across a network. The stabilization of the successive frames of the moving image reduces the effects of unintended motion of the video capture device and is utilized to determine a feedback control. The processor portion utilizes the feedback control to cause the moving image to remain substantially centered within the individual frames of the input of successive frames of the moving image by causing the adjustment of the video capture device.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a data capture portion comprising; at least a first sensor; at least a first interface system for transmitting data received by the data capture portion across a communications network, wherein the at least a first interface system is in communication with the data capture portion and comprises; a hardened exterior shell; a sensor interface portion; a power supply portion a control unit comprising a microprocessor, wherein a first data stream of successive frames of a moving image that is transmitted by the at least a first sensor and received by the sensor interface portion is stabilized to reduce the effects of unintended motion of the at least a first sensor, wherein the control unit analyzes the stabilized first data stream of successive frames of the moving image and causes the adjustment of the at least a first sensor wherein the adjustment of the at least a first sensor causes the moving image to remain substantially centered within the successive frames of the moving image; wherein the stabilized first data stream of successive frames of the moving image is then compressed and averaged; a transmission portion for transmitting the stabilized, compressed, and averaged first data stream of successive frames of the moving image across a network. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-readable medium having a set of instructions to cause a computer to perform the following operations:
-
(a) receiving an input of successive frames of a moving image from a first sensor device; (b) stabilizing the input of successive frames of the moving image to reduce the effects of unintended movement of the first sensor device and to determine a feedback control data; (c) adjusting the position of the first sensor device to cause the moving image to remain substantially centered within the input of successive frames of the moving image, wherein the adjustment of the first sensor device is based at least partially on the feedback control data; (e) compressing and averaging the stabilized input of successive frames of the moving image; (f) transmitting the averaged, compressed, and stabilized input successive frames of the moving image across a communication network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
