1. A system, comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture an image and transmit image data, the image capture device comprising a lighting and exposure mechanism; and
a camera sensor interface configured to receive image data from the image capture device, the camera sensor interface comprising a stat FIFO;
wherein the stat FIFO is configured to;
receive image data from the image capture device; and
responsive to receiving a pre-determined portion of the image data, send an interrupt to the lighting and exposure mechanism;
wherein the lighting and exposure mechanism, responsive to receiving the interrupt, turns on and off; and
wherein the pre-determined portion of the image data is determined by defining a threshold number of pixels per image block in the stat FIFO.

Abstract
An system contains an image capture device configured to capture an image. The system includes a lighting and exposure mechanism. The system also includes a camera sensor interface with a stat FIFO. The stat FIFO is configured to receive data from the image capture device. When the stat FIFO, during image scanning, receives a pre-determined amount of image data, it fires an interrupt, which times the lighting and exposure mechanism in the system.

8. A method of utilizing a system comprising a camera sensor interface having a stat FIFO, the method comprising:
-
allocating blocks in the camera sensor interface'"'"'s stat FIFO to receive image data when the system is utilized to capture an image; determining a threshold number of pixels per allocated block; configuring the stat FIFO to receive the threshold number of pixels of the image data per each of the allocated blocks; configuring the stat FIFO to provide an interrupt each time the threshold number of pixels of image data is received by the stat FIFO, wherein the interrupt instructs a lighting and exposure mechanism to turn on or off; and capturing an image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
