Abstract
Imaging devices, imaging systems, imaging methods, and real estate advertising methods are described. According to one aspect, an imaging device includes a communications interface configured to receive a value from externally of the imaging device, an image sensor configured to provide image data regarding an image, processing circuitry coupled with the communications interface and the image sensor and configured to process the image data from the image sensor, and wherein the value is configured to configure a parameter of at least one of the image sensor to provide the image data and the processing circuitry to process the image data.
Claims26
An imaging device comprising:
- a communications interface configured to receive a value from externally of the imaging device;
- an image sensor configured to provide image data regarding an image;
- processing circuitry coupled with the communications interface and the image sensor and configured to process the image data from the image sensor;
- and
- wherein the value is configured to configure a parameter of at least one of the image sensor to provide the image data and the processing circuitry to process the image data.
An imaging system comprising:
- a host configured to generate template data configured to cause the generation of a template image;
- an imaging device coupled with the host and configured to provide image data regarding an image and according to at least one parameter;
- wherein the imaging device is configured to receive a value for the at least one parameter from the host;
- and
- wherein the host is configured to receive the image data from the imaging device and to generate the template data using the image data.
An imaging device comprising:
- means for providing image data regarding an image;
- means for processing the image data;
- means for receiving a value from a host external of the imaging device;
- means for configuring at least one of:
- the means for providing to provide the image data according to the value;
- and
- the means for processing to process the image data according to the value.
An imaging method comprising:
- providing an imaging device configured to provide image data of an image;
- receiving a value within the imaging device from externally of the imaging device;
- configuring the imaging device responsive to the received value;
- and
- providing image data for an initial image using the imaging device configured according to the received value.
A real estate advertising method comprising:
- providing an application program configured to cause a host to generate a template image comprising image data of a plurality of photographs of a property;
- providing a digital camera configured to generate the image data according to at least one parameter;
- obtaining a value for the at least one parameter using the host, wherein the value corresponds to a respective one of the photographs;
- communicating the value from the host to the digital camera;
- generating the image data for the respective one of the photographs using the digital camera configured according to the value;
- communicating the generated image data from the digital camera to the host;
- and
- generating the template image using the host and the generated image data.
