Devices, methods and systems for multi-user capable visual imaging arrays
First Claim
1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
- accepting input of a request for a particular image of a scene that is larger than the particular image;
comparing one or more previously received images that are determined to be similar to the particular image to determine a changed portion;
identifying a portion of the particular image that corresponds to the changed portion;
determining an updated request that identifies the portion of the particular image that corresponds to the changed portion as targeted for updating; and
transmitting the updated request that identifies the portion of the particular image to an image sensor array device that includes more than one image sensor and that is configured to capture the scene and retain a subset of the scene that includes the portion of the particular image;
receiving the portion of the particular image from the image sensor array device; and
transmitting to a requestor device at least the portion of the particular image for presentation of the particular image of the scene.

Abstract
Computationally implemented methods and systems include accepting input of a request for a particular image of a scene that is larger than the particular image, transmitting the request for the particular image to an image sensor array that includes more than one image sensor and that is configured to capture the scene and retain a subset of the scene that includes the request for the particular image of the scene, receiving only the particular image from the image sensor array, wherein the particular image represents a subset of the scene, and wherein a size characteristic of the particular image is at least partially based on a property of a requestor, and presenting the received particular image to the requestor. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

2. A system comprising:
-
circuitry configured for accepting an input of a request for a particular image that is part of a scene that is larger than the particular image; circuitry configured for comparing one or more previously received images determined to be similar; circuitry configured for modifying the request for the particular image into an updated request that identifies a portion of the scene targeted for updating based on a comparison of the one or more previously received images determined to be similar; circuitry configured for transmitting the updated request to an image sensor array device that includes more than one image sensor and that is configured to capture the scene and to retain the portion of the scene targeted for updating; circuitry configured for receiving from the image sensor array device the portion of the scene targeted for updating; and circuitry configured for outputting at least the portion of the scene targeted for updating for presentation at a requestor device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A system comprising:
-
one or more computer readable memory bearing one or more executable program instructions; and at least one computer processor configured by the one or more executable program instructions to perform operations including at least; accepting an input of a request for a particular image that is part of a scene that is larger than the particular image; comparing one or more previously received images determined to be similar; modifying the request for the particular image into an updated request that identifies a portion of the scene targeted for updating based on a comparison of the one or more previously received images determined to be similar; transmitting the updated request to an image sensor array device that includes more than one image sensor and that is configured to capture the scene and to retain the portion of the scene targeted for updating; receiving from the image sensor array device the portion of the scene targeted for updating; and outputting at least the portion of the scene targeted for updating for presentation at a requestor device.
