Patent number: 9398211Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting collaborative image capture may provide for transferring sensor data from a plurality of image capture devices to a designated master device, which may in turn determine rough alignment recommendations for the image capture devices. The image capture devices may receive the alignment recommendations and output them to a preview display for manual alignment and/or to an automated adjustment system for automated alignment. Additionally, the image capture devices may transfer preview image data to the master device, wherein fine alignment recommendations may be made based on the preview image data.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Michelle X.

Patent number: 9282232Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting collaborative sessions between mobile devices may provide for determining a time delay associated with a set of participating mobile devices, and determining a command execution time based at least in part on a clock of a managing device and the time delay. One or more control messages may be transmitted to the participating mobile devices, wherein the control messages include the command and the command execution time. Upon receiving a control message, each participating mobile device may determine a local execution time based at least in part on the command execution time and an offset of the clock of the managing device relative to a local clock. Execution of the command can therefore be coordinated across the set of participating mobile devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Michelle X.
