DIRECTING IMAGE CAPTURE SEQUENCES IN A DIGITAL IMAGING DEVICE USING SCRIPTS

摘要

A method and system for controlling user interaction in a digital imaging device that includes a display screen. The method and system include providing the digital imaging device with a directed image capture sequence (618) that comprises a set of program instructions, which when executed, display interactive instructions on a display screen that prompt the user to perform specific operations. In response to the user performing these operations, the interactive instructions are automatically updated to thereby guide the user through a series of related image captures. The directed image capture sequence is preferably written in an interpreted scripting language (610) and loaded into the camera from an external source to add functionality to the digital imaging device.
