Patent number: 11503189Abstract: A camera includes a lens, an image sensor, and a display. The lens and the image sensor are configured to capture images. The display may include an array of lights that are selectively illuminable to display the graphics. The lights may be arranged in a grid with each of the lights forming a pixel of the display. The display is hidden from view when not illuminated and displays graphics when illuminated. The camera may include a body that hides the display from view when not illuminated and permits light from the display to pass therethrough when illuminated. The body may include an elastomeric, light-permeable outer layer through which light from the display passes. The body may have a first side having the lens and on which the display displays the graphics. The camera may include a second display on a second side of the body facing opposite the first side.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Yui, Clark Weber, John George Muhlenkamp, IV, Huy Phuong Nguyen, Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11379095Abstract: An image capture device may include a display for presenting controls. The controls may be used by a user to operate the image capture device in capturing visual content. A control customization interface may include interface feature(s) that enables selection of one or more selectable controls for inclusion in a set of controls. Based on user interaction with the control customization interface, the set of controls may be determined and presented on the display.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11375121Abstract: A camera includes an image sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller operates the image sensor to record a video recording and operates the display to display a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes an elapsed time indicator that increases in length as time elapses to form a border around the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 11310432Abstract: An image capture device may buffer video footage in a memory buffer before a command to record video is received. The image capture device may present a progression of color along a path to reflect the amount of buffered video footage. When the command to record the video is received, the video may be generated to include both buffered video footage and the video footage captured after the command.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Grant Adam McCauley, Michael Adkins Knott

Patent number: 11212481Abstract: An image capture device may capture visual content using a capture setting. A machine-readable optical code conveying the capture setting may be generated. The machine-readable optical code may convey the capture setting such that an image capture device capturing an image including the machine-readable optical code: (1) identifies the machine-readable optical code within the image; (2) determines the capture setting conveyed by the machine-readable optical code; and (3) stores the capture setting for use in visual content capture. A graphical user interface may enable a user to associate the machine-readable optical code with the visual content. The association of the machine-readable optical code with the visual content may cause subsequent presentation of the visual content to include presentation of the machine-readable optical code.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Grant Adam McCauley

Patent number: 10965874Abstract: An image capture device may include an image sensor configured to capture an image and processing apparatus. The processing apparatus may be configured to obtain data and associate a function for each of the obtained data. The processing apparatus may be configured to store each function instance as analytic data. The processing apparatus may determine an analytic trigger occurrence and determine if the analytic trigger occurrence is greater than a function instance threshold. The processing apparatus may be configured to display a notification based on the analytic data.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Grant Adam McCauley, Jason Short
