  • Real-time remote image capture system
    Patent number: 8553950
    Abstract: Systems for remotely verifying the identity of an image include an identity capture device adapted to communicate with a computing device and a database. The identity capture device captures an image, and the computing device searches the database for information to authenticate and verify the image. For remotely connected computing devices, a communications network provides communication between the computing devices and the database. Other systems and methods are also provided.

  • Real-Time Remote Image Capture System
    Publication number: 20110075011
    Abstract: One system for remotely capturing an image, among others, contains a first image capture device coupled to a communications network. The first image capture device has a touch-screen display and adapted to display a map image retrieved from a map database, wherein the first image capture device enables a first user to draw markings on the map image via the touch-screen display and to transmit the markings to a second image capture device. After receipt of the markings by the second image capture device, the first image capture device concurrently displays with the second image capture device the markings on the map image.
