Abstract
Images stored in a camera are edited using a television device. The television device determines that the camera incorporates television device remote control editing capabilities and sends a sequence of television device remote control output signals from a television device remote control to the camera to edit an image stored on the camera. The television device receives the edited image, as edited using remote control output signals, from the camera and generates signals for displaying the edited image on a display associated with the television device. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- at a video display device, establishing communication with a camera;
- sending a sequence of video display device remote control output signals from a video display device remote control to the camera to edit an image stored on the camera to render an edited image;
- the video display device receiving the edited image, as edited using remote control output signals, from the camera;
- generating signals for displaying the edited image on a display associated with the video display device;
- receiving camera information from the camera;
- selecting video display device remote control command translation information based upon the received camera information;
- converting the video display device remote control output signals to camera image editing commands;
- and
- sending the converted camera image editing commands to the camera.
6 more elements
A device comprising:
- at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- determine that a camera incorporates video display device remote control editing capabilities;
- send a sequence of video display device remote control output signals from a video display device remote control to the camera;
- receive an edited image from the camera;
- generate signals to display the edited image on a display associated with the video display device;
- query the camera regarding video display device remote control output signal conversion;
- determine, based upon a response to the query to convert the video display device remote control output signals to camera image editing commands at the video display device;
- and
- send the camera image editing commands to the camera.
6 more elements
A device for editing images stored in a camera, comprising:
- at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- determine that the camera incorporates video display device remote control editing capabilities;
- send video display device identification information to the camera via a communication interface in response to receipt of the signals that the camera has the video display device remote control editing capabilities;
- receive a query from the camera for resolution data;
- send the resolution data to the camera;
- send a sequence of video display device remote control output signals from a video display device remote control to the camera;
- receive an edited image from the camera at the resolution of the display in response to sending the video display device remote control output signals received from the video display device remote control to the camera;
- and
- generate signals to cause a display to display a user interface and the edited image, where the edited image is refreshed in response to each modification of the edited image.
6 more elements
A device for editing images stored in a camera, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to communicate with the camera;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- determine that the camera incorporates video display device remote control editing capabilities upon receipt of receive a signal from the camera via the communication interface signaling that the camera has the video display device remote control editing capabilities;
- send video display device identification information to the camera in response to receipt of the signals that the camera has the video display device remote control editing capabilities;
- receive a query from the camera for resolution data;
- send the resolution data to the camera;
- send a sequence of video display device remote control output signals from a video display device remote control to the camera;
- receive an edited image from the camera at conforming to the resolution data in response to sending the video display device remote control output signals received from the video display device remote control device to the camera;
- and
- generate signals to cause display of a user interface and the edited image on a display associated with the video display device, where the edited image is refreshed in response to each modification of the edited image.
