DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE USING WEATHER INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a location of the computing device;
receiving, at the computing device, and from a remote server, weather information that pertains to the determined location wherein the weather information includes weather information for a current time and weather forecast information for a future time period extending beyond the current time;
determining, by the computing device, an ambient lighting value based on the weather forecast information for a time subsequent to the current time and within the future time period;
capturing, by the computing device and at the time subsequent to the current time, an image; and
processing the captured image using at least one setting based on the ambient lighting value.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for capturing an image using an image capture device equipped with a processor. The method includes receiving an electromagnetic signal transmitted from a remote station, determining a location of the image capture device based on the received electromagnetic signal, establishing communication over a network between the image capture device and a remote server, transmitting a request to the remote server for weather information pertaining to the determined location; receiving the weather information, determining an ambient lighting value based on the weather information, capturing an image using the image capture device, and processing the captured image using the determined ambient lighting value.
