METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOTIONS AND ACTIONS OF AN APPARATUS INCLUDING AN IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE HAVING A MOVING DEVICE CONNECTED THERETO USING A CONTROLLING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling motions and actions of an apparatus including an image capture device having a moving device connected thereto using a controlling device, wherein the moving device is capable of moving the image capture device, the method comprising:
- displaying a preview image provided by the image capture device on a display device of the controlling device;
detecting inputs to alter the preview image from an input device of the controlling device on a user interface;
obtaining a first image to be captured based on the detected inputs, wherein the first image is associated with the altered preview image;
generating one or more first control commands according to the first image; and
transmitting the one or more first control commands to the apparatus via a communication link to control motions and actions of the image capture device and the moving device to capture a second image to be returned to the controlling device;
wherein the second image returned is the same as the first image.

13. A controlling system, comprising:
-
an apparatus including an image capture device having a moving device connected thereto, wherein the moving device is capable of moving the image capture device that captures images; a controlling device coupled to the apparatus via a communication link for controlling motions and actions of the image capture device and the moving device in the apparatus, wherein the controlling device is configured to display a preview image provided by the image capture device on a display device of the controlling device, detect inputs to alter the preview image from an input device, obtain a first image to be captured based on the detected inputs, generate one or more first control commands according to the first image, and transmit the one or more first control commands to the apparatus via the communication link to control the image capture device and the moving device to capture a second image to be returned to the controlling device; wherein the first image is associated with the altered first image and the second image returned is the same as same as the first image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20)
