Image translation device providing navigational data feedback to communication device

摘要

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for an image translation device providing navigational data feedback to a communication device are described herein. The image translation device may operate in a navigational feedback mode to transmit navigational data to the communication device or an active image translation mode to generate position data to facilitate an image translation operation. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a navigation module configured to control one or more navigation components to capture navigational data, wherein the one or more navigation components comprise a first imaging navigation sensor and a second imaging navigation sensor; a control module configured to transmit, via a wireless communication interface, the captured navigational data to a device providing a graphical user interface; and an image translation module configured to control one or more image translation components to translate an image between the apparatus and an adjacent medium based at least in part on the captured navigational data, wherein, at any given time, the control module is configured to operate in either (i) an active image translation mode to determine a plurality of positions of the apparatus relative to a reference point based at least in part on the captured navigational data, or (ii) a navigational feedback mode to transmit the captured navigational data to the device, wherein, while in the navigational feedback mode, the navigation module is further configured to control either (i) the first imaging navigation sensor or (ii) the second imaging navigation sensor, and wherein, while in the active image translation mode, the navigation module is further configured to control both (i) the first imaging navigation sensor and (ii) the second imaging navigation sensor.
