METHOD AND SYSTEM OF STARTING SNAPPING STATIC SCENE
First Claim
1. A method of starting snapping a static scene for use with an image-capturing device and a display device electrically connected with said image-capturing device, said display device having a displaying zone for display a visual field of said image-capturing device, said method comprising steps of:
- setting a block in said displaying zone, wherein said block is correlated with a portion of said visual field;
calculating a skin color coverage percentage of said block; and
comparing said skin color coverage percentage with a first threshold value, wherein said scene is continuously captured by said image-capturing device in a first operating status, and wherein if said skin color coverage percentage is greater than said first threshold value, said image-capturing device in said first operating status is switched to a second operating status, and wherein a delaying time is counted and said scene is captured and stored after said delaying time when said image-capturing unit is in said second operating status.

Abstract
A method of starting snapping a static scene is applied to a system, which is electrically connected with an image-capturing device and a display device. The display device has a displaying zone for display a visual field of the image-capturing device. After an instruction of setting a block in the displaying zone is received by the system, a skin color coverage percentage of the block is calculated. According to the skin color coverage percentage, the system determines whether the scene within the visual field is stored or not. By the method and system of the present invention, a self-timer function is activated according to the skin color.

9. A snapping method for use with an image-capturing device and a display device electrically connected with said image-capturing device, said display device having a displaying zone for display a visual field of said image-capturing device, a block correlated with a portion of said visual field being set in said displaying zone, said snapping method comprising steps of:
-
calculating a skin color coverage percentage of said block; and switching said image-capturing device to a first operating status or a second operating status if said skin color coverage percentage is present, wherein once said image-capturing device is in said first operating status, said scene is continuously captured by said image-capturing device, wherein once said image-capturing device has been in said second operating status for a delaying time, said scene is captured and stored after said delaying time. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A snap starting system, comprising:
-
an image-capturing unit for capturing a scene within a visual field; an input unit for setting a block; an output unit for displaying said visual field and said block; and a processing unit electrically connected with said image-capturing unit, said input unit and said output unit for calculating a skin color coverage percentage of said block, and switching said image-capturing unit between a first operating status and a second operating status according to said skin color coverage percentage, wherein once said image-capturing unit is in said first operating status, said scene is captured by said image-capturing device, wherein once said image-capturing unit is in said second operating status, a delaying time is counted, and said scene is captured and stored after said delaying time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
