Image capturing device to capture image of a subject based on a communication process

An image capturing method, comprising:

• in an image capturing device:
• capturing a first image of a subject;
• determining a first state of the subject based on the first image;
• controlling an output device to output a signal based on the first state of the subject, wherein the signal corresponds to at least one of a plurality of signal patterns;
• determining a second state of the subject, wherein the second state of the subject corresponds to the at least one of the plurality of signal patterns, and
• wherein the second state indicates a movement of the subject from a first position to a second position;
• selecting an image capture mode from a plurality of image capture modes based on the movement of the subject from the first position to the second position and the at least one of the plurality of signal patterns,
• wherein the plurality of image capture modes includes a first mode to capture a still image, a consecutive shot mode for the still image, a second mode to capture a time-lapse image, a third mode to capture a moving image at a normal frame rate, and a fourth mode to capture the moving image at a high frame rate;
• capturing a second image of the subject based on the selected image capture mode;
• and
• storing the second image of the subject in a memory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• capturing a first image of a subject;
• determining a first state of the subject based on the first image;
• controlling an output device to output a signal based on the first state of the subject, wherein the signal corresponds to at least one of a plurality of signal patterns;
• determining a second state of the subject,
• wherein the second state of the subject corresponds to the at least one of the plurality of signal patterns, and
• wherein the second state indicates a movement of the subject from a first position to a second position;
• selecting an image capture mode from a plurality of image capture modes based on the movement of the subject from the first position to the second position and the at least one of the plurality of signal patterns,
• wherein the plurality of image capture modes includes a first mode to capture a still image, a consecutive shot mode for the still image, a second mode to capture a time-lapse image, a third mode to capture a moving image at a normal frame rate, and a fourth mode to capture the moving image at a high frame rate;
• capturing a second image of the subject based on the selected image capture mode;
• and
• storing the second image of the subject in a memory.
