Abstract
Image capturing systems with context control and related methods are provided. In this regard, a representative image capturing system includes: an image capturing device having a user-adjustable setting for altering an image capture parameter; and a context control system operative to receive location information corresponding to a location of the image capturing device and to preset the user-adjustable setting based, at least in part, on the location information.
Claims18
An image capturing system comprising:
- an image capturing device having a user-adjustable setting for altering an image capture parameter;
- and
- a context control system operative to automatically receive location information corresponding to a location of the image capturing device and to automatically preset the user-adjustable setting without input, corresponding to the user-adjustable setting, from a user of the image capturing device based, at least in part, on the location information;
- wherein:
- the user-adjustable setting is a focus setting;
- and
- the context control system is operative to automatically determine that the location information corresponds to an interior of a structure and to automatically preset the focus setting based on the location information such that a focal length of the image capturing device is less than a maximum dimension of the interior of the structure.

A method for capturing images, comprising:
- automatically receiving location information corresponding to a location of an image capturing device;
- and
- automatically presetting a user-adjustable setting of the image capturing device without input, corresponding to the user-adjustable setting, from a user of the image capturing device based, at least in part, on the location information;
- wherein:
- the user-adjustable setting is a focus setting;
- and
- automatically presetting comprises automatically determining that the location information corresponds to an interior of a structure and automatically presetting the focus setting based on the location information such that a focal length of the image capturing device is less than a maximum dimension of the interior of the structure.
