  • Automatic transfer of image information between imaging device and host system
    Patent number: 7170551
    Abstract: Image information is transferred between an imaging device and a host system. The host system detects that an imaging device is connected to the host system. In response to detecting the imaging device, one or more images are transferred between the imaging device and the host system.
    Type: Grant

  • Using atomic commands with an imaging device to prevent the transmission of interleaved sets of commands
    Patent number: 6975350
    Abstract: A method includes generating a first set of commands for an imaging device. The first set of commands are associated with a first task to be performed by the imaging device. A second set of commands are generated for the imaging device during a second time interval that overlaps the first time interval. The second set of commands are associated with a second task to be performed by the imaging device. The first set of commands is transmitted to the imaging device during a third interval of time, and the second set of commands is transmitted to the imaging device during a fourth interval of time that does not overlap with the third interval of time.

  • Automatic update of camera firmware
    Patent number: 6360362
    Abstract: A method of updating firmware between an imaging device and a host system is disclosed. The host system detects that the firmware on the imaging device is incompatible with a configuration of the host system. In response to detecting the incompatibility, an updated firmware image is transferred from the host system to the imaging device.
