A digital image capture device streams captured images (e.g. low-resolution images) to a remote viewer terminal, along with image identifiers and/or device position information. The remote viewer terminal displays the images for viewing by a remote viewer. The remote viewer provides inputs to a user interface, which indicate a direction of desired movement of the image capture device, and/or that the remote viewer wants new images (e.g. high-resolution images) to be captured at a desired position. The user interface inputs are translated into requests, which are transmitted to the image capture device. The image capture device provides movement prompts that direct a device operator to move the device in a requested direction or toward a requested position. When a position of the device corresponds to a requested image capture position, the image capture device captures one or more new images, and transmits the new images. |

1. A method performed by a first device that includes a digital camera, the method comprising:
capturing, by the digital camera, an image; determining, by the first device, device position data associated with the image; storing, by the first device, the device position data in association with a unique image identifier; receiving, over a data path, an image capture request from a second device, wherein the image capture request includes the unique image identifier; in response to receiving the image capture request, retrieving, by the first device and based on the unique image identifier, the device position data; determining, by the first device, an image capture position of the first device based on the retrieved device position data; and when a current position of the first device corresponds to the determined image capture position, capturing a new image using the digital camera to produce new image data. |
