Abstract: In one aspect, a method provides a display device. The method senses the presence of the user or scene change within the field of view of the system's image sensor with a built-in image signal processor. The method automatically and concurrently powers on the image sensor. The method lights one or more lights around the display device in response to sense the presence of the user or scene change. The method captures one or more frames of images of a user or scene change with the image sensor. Each frame includes an M by N array of pixel data. The M by N array of pixel data comprises a data structure consisting of a collection of pixel elements enumerated as pixel P11 to pixel Pm1. The method stores the M by N array of pixel data as a frame of data written into a frame buffer memory of the display device.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, an external lighting accessory system is disclosed. The system includes an enclosure; an array of light sources such as LEDs mounted in the enclosure; diffusion and/or lenses to direct the lighting. The light sources are pivotal and can be positioned to allow the user to move them to direct the lighting to the front illuminating the field of view for the front camera or to the rear illuminating the field of view for the rear camera. The lighting array of lights is adjustable based on software or hardware controls to provide lighting based on user's intent.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention, a digital mirror is disclosed including an enclosure; a display device mounted in the enclosure to display images at a front side of the enclosure; an image capture device mounted in the enclosure adjacent the display device to reduce parallax error; lights mounted in the enclosure adjacent the display device; and a light diffuser mounted to the enclosure around the display device over the one or more lights. The one or more lights provide lighting in front of the display device and the image capture device captures images in the field of view in the front. The light diffuser diffuses and softens the light emitted by the one or more lights. Alternatively, the image capture device may be mounted on an articulated arm that may be used to capture and display various angles in the filed of view of the digital mirror.
