  • Patent number: 8493464
    Abstract: A method for adjusting resolution is applicable to an image capturing device, such that the image capturing device can analyze an amount of objects in the image captured thereby and determine a resolution for storing the image according to the amount of objects in the image, thereby making use of storage resources effectively. It is determined whether to zoom in/out the captured image or to lower the resolution of the image capturing device by analyzing the amount of the objects in the captured image and comparing the analyzed amount of the objects with one or more threshold values.

  • Publication number: 20110157378
    Abstract: A method for providing a hotkey sequence defined by a user and a photographic device using the method are disclosed. The method is used for the photographic device, and the photographic device comprises a plurality of keys. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a using status of the photographic device; obtaining a first hotkey sequence inputted by the user; recording the first hotkey sequence; and making the first hotkey sequence correspond to the using status.

  • Publication number: 20100165108
    Abstract: An image capturing device used for monitoring and a monitoring method thereof are disclosed. The image capturing device is used to monitor movements from a specific area. The monitoring method comprises the following steps: controlling an image capturing module of the image capturing device in order to record images continuously from a specific area; detecting a changing portion within the image; focusing and magnifying the changing portion detected within the image and executing a monitoring recording process to perform a consecutive shooting.
