Method and apparatus for remotely controlling an image capture position of a camera

An electronic system comprising:

• a display device;
• a device operator interface;
• a data path interface configured to receive, from a remote device, image data and indications of image capture positions associated with the image data;
• and
• a processing system configured to
• cause images to be displayed on the display device, wherein the images correspond to the image data received from the remote device,
• receive a device operator input via the device operator interface indicating device operator selection of a selected image of the displayed images, and
• transmit an image capture request to the remote device via the data path interface, wherein the image capture request includes a unique image identifier;
• wherein the image capture request causes the remote device to:
• retrieving, by the remote device and based on the unique image identifier, device position data;
• determining, by the remote device, the image capture position of the remote device based on remote device position data;
• and
• when a current position of the remote device corresponds to the determined image capture position, capturing a new image using a digital camera to produce new image data.
