Abstract
A method whereby a presenter may capture images directly from a graphics control circuitry during a presentation without the need for actions, such as mouse clicks, which would interfere with the presenter's ability to present information to an audience. The method automatically captures images using a change detection algorithm and stores those images in digital form for future use. The presenter or user of the method may make adjustments to the parameters, via a control interface, used by the algorithm to determine when to capture and store a static image from the graphics control circuitry.
Claims18
A system for capturing and storing images from a computing device comprising:
- a computing device comprising a processor, a storage system, and graphics control circuitry;
- at least one computer display monitor that is associated with and in electronic communication with said computing device for display of information contained in the graphics control circuitry;
- and
- an image capture device in electronic communication with said computing device which monitors a stream of images communicated from the computing device to a computer display monitor in electronic communication with the computer device and stores one or more individual images upon the satisfaction of predetermined capture conditions before each storage.
