Publication number: 20200396412Abstract: An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a “delete all transferred images” which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: Keith Stoll Karn, Thomas A. Napoli, Frank W. Armstrong

Patent number: 9571735Abstract: A digital camera system providing a low-power image capture mode includes an image capture system, an image display and a power management system. The power management system is used to provide a normal image capture mode wherein captured digital images are displayed on the image display as they are captured, and a low-power image capture mode wherein captured digital images are not displayed on the image display as they are captured. A user interface includes a first user control for selecting between the normal image capture mode and the low-power image capture mode, and a second user control for initiating a video capture operation. The system is configured such that if the first user control is activated while a digital video is being captured, the power management system switches between the normal image capture mode and the low-power image capture mode without interrupting the video capture operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Keith Stoll Karn, Marc Krolczyk, Kazuhiro Joza, David Ollila
