First Claim
Patent Images

1. An electronic equipment for capturing images, comprising:

  • an image capturing device,a motion sensor configured to sense motion of the image capturing device,an analyzer configured to detect whether the sensed motion of the image capturing device is a predefined image capture motion,a stabilization detector configured to sense motion of the image capturing device and detect whether the image capturing device decelerates and stabilizes sufficiently to capture images without blurring due to motion,a controller configured to;

    cause the image capturing device to automatically capture images in response to the analyzer detecting that motion of the image capturing device sensed by the motion sensor corresponds to the predefined image capture motion,override the automatic capture of images to prevent capturing images until after the stabilization detector detects that the motion of the image capturing device has decelerated and stabilized sufficiently to capture images that are free of blur caused by motion, andreceive a command from a user to program the image capturing device to store another predefined image capture motion when the motion sensor senses motion of the image capturing device by the user representing a predefined manner, anda non-transitory computer readable memory configured to store the represented predefined motion as another predefined image capture motion such that the controller causes the image capturing device to automatically capture images in response to the analyzer detecting the represented predefined motion.
