Abstract
An image capture system includes a first computing device, a second computing device communicatively coupled to the first computing device, and an imaging device communicatively coupled to the first computing device. An image captured by the imaging device is displayed on the second display of the second computing device.
Claims16
A computing system, comprising:
- a first computing device, the first computing device comprising a first display device;
- a second computing device communicatively coupled to the first computing device, the second computing device comprising a tablet computing device comprising a second display device;
- and
- a camera communicatively coupled to the first computing device;
- a pad to create a neutral background for image capture;
- and
- an image processing module to, when executed by a processor of the first computing device, process an image captured by the camera by identifying a number of image registration points and remove portions of the image including the pad based on the identification of the image registration points,
- in which the camera is positionable to be directed at a user of the first computing device or to be directed at a pad to capture images of a number of objects placed on the pad,
- in which a number of functions of the first computing device are augmented such that functions of the second computing device are operable on the first computing device, and
- in which the image registration points define parameters of an image capture zone.

A non-transitory computer program product for wirelessly communicating between computing devices, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor:
- determine a communication type for connection between a first computing device and a second computing device;
- and
- prompt a user to select mirroring of a first display device of a first computing device on a second display of a second computing device;
- process an image captured by a camera communicatively coupled to the first computing device by identifying a number of image registration points included on a pad that define parameters of an image capture zone and remove portions of the image including the pad based on the identification of the number of image registration points included on the pad that define parameters of the image capture zone.
