Patent number: 7952616Abstract: An electronic camera system includes a programmable transmission capability for selectively transmitting electronic image data to a plurality of remote base units. In one embodiment, a camera module is detachably coupled to a portable computer including a display screen and a data entry device. The electronic image data generated by the camera module is supplied to the portable computer for display on the display screen. The data entry device is used by an operator to select which of the plurality of base units are to receive the digital image data. The digital image data is supplied by the portable computer to a radio-frequency transmitter module for transmission to the selected base units. The radio-frequency transmitter module is formed either integral with the portable computer or, like the camera module, is detachably coupled to the portable computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2003Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Kenneth A. Parulski, James R. Schueckler

Patent number: 6731952Abstract: A handheld mobile telephone system is disclosed including a detachable camera/battery module for capturing images and a mobile telephone for communicating with a receiving unit. The detachable camera/battery module includes a lens for focusing light from a scene to produce an image; an image sensor for capturing one or more images; and a converter for producing digital image signals from the at least one captured image. The detachable camera/battery module further includes a battery for supplying power to the mobile telephone system; and a first connector for detachably supplying the digital image signals and the power to the mobile telephone. The mobile telephone includes a memory for storing the digital image signals; and a processor for processing the stored digital image signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2000Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Pierre Schaeffer, Kenneth A.
