Abstract
A method and system for remote control photography using a smart watch and smart terminal that communicate via a Serial Port Profile (SPP) protocol. The smart watch controls the smart terminal to capture a photograph that is then processed by the smart terminal to have a size and resolution compatible with a display of the smart watch.
Claims8
A method for remote control photography using a smart watch, the method comprising:
- establishing connection between the smart watch and a smart terminal having a camera via a Serial Port Profile (SPP) protocol;
- receiving, via the smart terminal, an instruction to take a photo from the smart watch;
- taking, via the smart terminal, one or more initial photos using the camera of the smart terminal in response to the instruction;
- identifying, via the smart terminal, a display size of the smart watch;
- and
- reducing, via the smart terminal, a resolution of the one or more initial photos to a designated resolution,
- reducing, via the smart terminal, a size of the one or more initial photos using a reduction ratio based on a ratio of a size of a display of the smart watch to a size of a display of the smart terminal to produce a reduced photo;
- and
- sending the reduced photo to the smart watch for display;
- wherein the reducing a size and resolution of the initial one or more photos further comprises:
- determining, via the smart terminal whether the one or more initial photos include multiple initial photos, wherein if there are multiple initial photos, the method further comprises:
- combining the multiple initial photos into a combined photo in a dynamic format;
- and
- reducing a resolution of the combined photo to the designated resolution and reducing a size of the combined photo using the reduction ratio to produce the reduced photo that is sent to the smart watch for display.

A system for remote control photography using a smart watch, the system, comprising:
- a smart terminal configured to:
- establish a Bluetooth connection between the smart watch and the smart terminal via a Serial Port Profile (SPP) protocol;
- receive a photo-taking instruction from the smart watch;
- take one or more initial photos when the photo-taking instruction is received;
- adjust a resolution of the one or more initial photos to a designated resolution,
- reduce a size of the one or more initial photos using a reduction ratio based on a ratio of a size of a display of the smart watch to a size of a display of the smart terminal to produce a reduced photo;
- send the reduced photo to the smart watch for display;
- wherein the smart terminal is further configured to:
- receive, from the smart watch, information identifying a size of a display of the smart watch;
- calculate the reduction ratio based on a ratio of the size of the display of the smart watch to a size of the display of the smart terminal;
- determine whether the one or more initial photos include multiple initial photos, wherein if there are multiple initial photos, then the smart terminal is further configured to:
- combine the multiple initial photos into a combined photo in a dynamic format;
- and
- reduce a size of the combined photo using the reduction ratio and reduce a resolution of the combined photo to a designated resolution to produce the reduced photo that is sent to the smart watch for display.
