Devices, methods, and systems for visual imaging arrays
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image capture device that includes more than one image sensor, the image capture device comprising:
- circuitry configured to capture a scene through use of the more than one image sensor;
circuitry configured to select a particular portion of the scene that is smaller than the scene based at least partly on a user request;
circuitry configured to select an additional unrequested portion of the scene that is adjacent to the particular portion and determined to correspond to a likely subsequent user request; and
circuitry configured to transmit the particular portion of the scene at a first resolution in combination with the additional unrequested portion of the scene at a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution to reduce latency of image loading of the additional unrequested portion of the scene in an event the additional unrequested portion of the scene is a subject of a subsequent user request.

Abstract
Computationally implemented methods and systems include capturing a scene that includes one or more images, through use of an array of more than one image sensor, selecting a particular portion of the scene that includes at least one image, wherein the selected particular portion is smaller than the scene, transmitting only the selected particular portion from the scene to a remote location, and de-emphasizing pixels from the scene that are not part of the selected particular portion of the scene. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

33. An image capture device that includes more than one image sensor, the image capture device comprising:
-
circuitry configured to capture a scene through use of the more than one image sensor; circuitry configured to select a particular portion of the scene that is smaller than the scene based at least partly on a user request; circuitry configured to select an additional unrequested portion of the scene that contains an object of interest likely to be a subject of a subsequent user request; and circuitry configured to transmit the particular portion of the scene at a first resolution in combination with the additional unrequested portion of the scene at a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution to reduce latency of image loading of the additional unrequested portion of the scene in an event the additional unrequested portion of the scene is the subject of the subsequent user request.

34. An image capture device comprising:
-
more than one image sensor; at least one communication interface; and at least one computer processor configured to execute operations including at least; capturing a scene through use of the more than one image sensor; selecting a particular portion of the scene that is smaller than the scene based at least partly on a user request received via the at least one communication interface; selecting an additional unrequested portion of the scene that is adjacent to the particular portion and determined to correspond to a likely subsequent user request; and transmitting via the at least one communication interface the particular portion of the scene at a first resolution in combination with the additional unrequested portion of the scene at a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution to reduce latency of image loading of the additional unrequested portion of the scene in an event the additional unrequested portion of the scene is a subject of a subsequent user request.
