Abstract
A wearable computing device may receive a data transmission schedule from a wirelessly tethered camera device. The wearable computing device may include a data receiver, and the data transmission schedule may be based on a frame rate and a resolution of the camera device. Possibly in response to receiving the data transmission schedule, the wearable computing device may be readied to receive a data transmission of the data transmission schedule. With the data receiver, the wearable computing device may receive the data transmission. In response to completing the reception of the data transmission, the wearable computing device may power down the data receiver.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a wearable computing device, a data transmission schedule from a wirelessly tethered camera device, wherein the wearable computing device includes a data receiver, and wherein the data transmission schedule is based on a frame rate and a resolution of the camera device;
- readying the wearable computing device to receive a data transmission of the data transmission schedule;
- receiving, with the data receiver, the data transmission at the wearable computing device;
- and
- in response to completing the reception of the data transmission, the wearable computing device powering down the data receiver, wherein the wearable computing device includes a display mechanism configured to display a representation of the received data transmission.
A wearable computing device comprising:
- a data receiver configured to, when powered up, receive data transmissions via a data channel and from a wirelessly tethered camera device, wherein the data transmissions are based on a frame rate and a resolution of the camera device;
- a display mechanism configured to display representations of the received data transmissions;
- and
- a communications module configured to receive a data transmission schedule from the camera device, ready the wearable computing device to receive a data transmission of the data transmission schedule, receive the data transmission, and power down the data receiver after completing the reception of the data transmission.
An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a wearable computing device, cause the wearable computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a data transmission schedule from a wirelessly tethered camera device, wherein the wearable computing device includes a data receiver, and wherein the data transmission schedule is based on a frame rate and a resolution of the camera device;
- readying the wearable computing device to receive a data transmission of the data transmission schedule;
- receiving, with the data receiver, the data transmission at the wearable computing device;
- and
- in response to completing the reception of the data transmission, powering down the data receiver, wherein the wearable computing device includes a display mechanism configured to display a representation of the received data transmission.
