ADVANCED CAMERA MANAGEMENT FUNCTION

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for managing advanced camera functions on an electronic device according to settings of management control functions on the electronic device. In certain instances, when an image is acquired by a camera in an electronic device, rich metadata associated with the image and the image itself may be stored in one or more data repositories. Image and metadata collected may be analyzed by a local or a remote software application program. Metadata from one image may be used to identify other images of interest, analyzed for trends, or used in a simulator to re-create an experience.

主权项

1. A method of advanced camera management in a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving an indication that a new image is captured by a camera, wherein the new image is automatically associated with metadata; and executing an application stored in memory, wherein execution of the application by a processor:
detects information regarding an environment in which the new image was captured,updates the metadata associated with the new image to include the detected information, wherein the metadata includes at least one of acceleration data sensed by a sensor, a universal resource locator (URL), or an amount of data associated with transmitting the new image over a wireless data communication interface,retrieves stored information regarding a plurality of other images in memory, wherein each other image is associated with metadata, andanalyzes the new image and updated metadata to identify similarities with one or more of the stored images and associated metadata.
