Device, system and method for image capture device using weather information
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor of an image capture device, a location of the image capture device;
receiving, at the image capture device, and from a remote server, weather information corresponding to the determined location, the weather information including current weather information for a first time and weather forecast information for a future time period extending beyond the first time;
capturing, by the image capture device, at a second time subsequent to the first time and within the future time period, an image;
responsive to determining, by the processor, that the image capture device is not able to communicate with the remote server at the second time, automatically adjusting, by the processor, based at least on the weather forecast information, at least one setting for processing the captured image; and
processing, by the processor, the captured image using the automatically adjusted at least one setting.

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.

1. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a processor of an image capture device, a location of the image capture device; receiving, at the image capture device, and from a remote server, weather information corresponding to the determined location, the weather information including current weather information for a first time and weather forecast information for a future time period extending beyond the first time; capturing, by the image capture device, at a second time subsequent to the first time and within the future time period, an image; responsive to determining, by the processor, that the image capture device is not able to communicate with the remote server at the second time, automatically adjusting, by the processor, based at least on the weather forecast information, at least one setting for processing the captured image; and processing, by the processor, the captured image using the automatically adjusted at least one setting. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. An image capture device, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to; determine a location of the image capture device; receive, from a remote server, weather information corresponding to the determined location, the weather information including current weather information for a first time and weather forecast information for a future time period extending beyond the first time; capture an image at a second time subsequent to the first time and within the future time period; responsive to determining that the image capture device is not able to communicate with the remote server at the second time, automatically adjust, based at least on the weather forecast information, at least one setting for processing the captured image; and process the captured image using the automatically adjusted at least one setting. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
an image capture device configured to determine a location of the image capture device; a network; and a remote server configured to transmit to the image capture device, weather information corresponding to the determined location, the weather information including current weather information for a first time and weather forecast information for a future time period extending beyond the first time; wherein the image capture device is further configured to; capture an image at a second time subsequent to the first time and within the future time period; responsive to determining that the image capture device is not able to communicate with the remote server at the second time, automatically adjust, based at least on the weather forecast information, at least one setting for processing the captured image; and process the captured image using the automatically adjusted at least one setting. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
