  • Patent number: 11611691
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and system for coordinating taking of a picture using a camera and initiation of a flash pulse of at least one flash device. The method is adapted for a system including a first device and at least one remote device. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a time base for a processor element of the first device, estimating a time base for a processor element of each at least one remote device in relation to the time base of the processor element of the first device, scheduling a timing for initiation of the flash pulse of the respective at least one flash device and/or a timing for taking a picture using the camera in the time base of the first device so that the coordination with the timing for taking the picture is obtained, and obtaining at the respective remote device of the system the scheduled timing of initiation of the remote device in the time base of that device.
