Transmitting digital images to a plurality of selected receivers over a radio frequency link
DCFirst Claim
1. An image capture device comprising:
- an image capture mechanism;
a display;
a selection mechanism;
a processor; and
a memory configured to store at least one digital image,wherein the processor is configured to;
cause a transmission selection menu to be displayed on the display in response to an operation of the selection mechanism, wherein the selection menu enables selection of a plurality of receiving units;
generate a header corresponding to the selected receiving units, wherein the header comprises a plurality of IDs, and wherein each ID corresponds to one of the selected receiving units and comprises a single bit that indicates that the selected receiving unit is to receive the digital image;
cause the header to be transmitted by the image capture device to a cellular transceiver; and
cause the at least one digital image to be transmitted by the image capture device to the cellular transceiver for eventual distribution to the plurality of selected receiver units based on the header wherein the cellular transceiver is configured to transmit the at least one digital image either via a single frequency for all receiving units or via a unique frequency for each receiving unit.

Abstract
A cellular transmission device includes an image capture device, a display, a selection mechanism, and a processor. The device also includes a memory in which at least one still image captured by the image capture device is stored; and a cellular transceiver coupled to an antenna; wherein the processor is configured to cause the display of at least one still image stored in the memory on the display; cause the display of a transmission selection menu on the display in response to operation of the selection mechanism, thereby enabling selection of a plurality of receiver units from the selection menu to receive the at least one displayed still image; and cause the transmission of the at least one displayed still image by the cellular transceiver for receipt by each selected receiver unit.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
storing in a memory of an image capture device at least one digital image wherein the image capture device comprises an image capture mechanism, a display, a selection mechanism, a processor, and the memory; displaying a transmission selection menu on the display in response to an operation of the selection mechanism to enable a selection of a plurality of receiving units; generating a header corresponding to the selected receiving units, wherein the header comprises a plurality of IDs, and wherein each ID corresponds to one of the selected receiving units and comprises a single bit that indicates that the selected receiving unit is to receive the digital image; transmitting, by the image capture device, the header to a cellular transceiver; and transmitting, by the image capture device, the at least one digital image to the cellular transceiver for eventual distribution to the plurality of selected receiver units based on the header, wherein the cellular transceiver is configured to transmit the at least one digital image either via a single frequency for all receiving units or via a unique frequency for each receiving unit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
