Patent number: 10542199Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes an image capture unit, a communication unit, and a control unit which communicates with an external device by first or second communication systems. The first system maintains communication connection even if the apparatus and device are not in a predetermined operational mode for executing image transmission processing. The second system maintains communication connection if the apparatus and device are in the predetermined mode. The control unit can automatically transmit a photographed image to an external device through the communication unit by the second communication system, and switch and control first and second functional modes for enabling and disabling a photography function, respectively. Where an image is photographed in the first mode, the control unit records the image as a target for automatic transmission. If the transmission target image is recorded, automatic transmission is not started during the first mode, and started during the second mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Hitoshi Tanaka, Taku Koreki, Takashi Onoda, Ai Nakajima, Genki Kumazaki

Publication number: 20150379748Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, an image setting unit, an image selecting unit, and an image generating unit. The image acquiring unit acquires a plurality of images belonging to different groups. The image setting unit determines the number of images to be used for generation of a new image. The image selecting unit selects images of the number determined by the image setting unit from the plurality of images based on supplementary information of a plurality of images belonging to each of the different groups acquired by the image acquiring unit. The image generating unit generates a new image from the images selected by the image selecting unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Applicant: CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.Inventors: Genki KUMAZAKI, Takashi ONODA, Kenji IWAMOTO, Taku KOREKI, Takeshi OKADA
