  • Patent number: 8089516
    Abstract: Systems and methods of event management for camera systems are disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a method may comprise publishing a plurality of event notifications identifying available frame data. The method may also comprise subscribing a program code module to at least one of the event notifications. The method may also comprise executing a process at the program code module corresponding to the subscribed event notification after the subscribed event notification is published.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 3, 2012
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: David Staudacher, Daniel G. Franke
  • Patent number: 7782381
    Abstract: A method for creating an instant review image is disclosed. The method starts by creating image data by exposing an image sensor to a scene. A first sub-set of the image data is transferred from the image sensor and used to create an instant review image. The rest of the data is transferred from the image sensor and essentially all of the data from the image sensor is used to create a second image.

  • Publication number: 20080094479
    Abstract: A method comprises determining whether a digital imaging device is in a stable state or an unstable state and causing an event to be performed upon the digital imaging device transitioning from the unstable state to the stable state. The method also comprises precluding the event from being performed while the digital imaging device is in the unstable state.

  • Patent number: 6094689
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coupling a host system to an image scanner in which high-level functions are migrated out of the scanner control module up to the attached host system. The host system and the scanner, via its control module, communicate using a low-level control instruction set. The low-level control instruction set enables the host system to directly control the scanning process by reading and writing memory locations within the control module. The memory locations include data structures descriptive of control operations to be performed by the scanner control module as well as status to be reported from the scanner to the host system. The low-level control instruction set includes instructions generated by the host system requesting return of particular data from memory locations in the scanner control module as well as instructions requesting the writing of particular data to memory locations in the scanner control module.
