Patent number: 11612097Abstract: A method of managing crops using an electronic device having an interface. Inputs of crop data is received, and each of the crop data is associated with a sample site location corresponding to each of a plurality of images captured by an image capturing device. A graph plotting one or more types of crop data including data associated with the plurality of images is generated in a first display region of the interface. A subset of sample site locations requiring one of a predetermined set of actions is displayed on the map in a second display region of the interface based on a selection within one of the plots on the graph.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Julie Rae Kowald, Dixon De Sheng Deng, Nicholas Grant Fulton, Oscar Alejandro De Lellis

Patent number: 11354350Abstract: A method of browsing images on a user interface displaying a map. A selection of a geographical feature within the map on the user interface is received based on a selection criteria comprising a set of predefined gesture rules. A plurality of images is selected based on a proximity of each of the images to the selected geographical feature. A dynamic browsing widget is generated on the user interface having dimensions proportional to dimensions of the selected geographical feature. The selected plurality of images is browsed using the generated dynamic browsing widget.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Dixon De Sheng Deng, Julie Rae Kowald, Nicholas Grant Fulton, Oscar Alejandro De Lellis

Patent number: 11138258Abstract: A system and method of grouping images captured using an image capture device. The method comprises receiving a plurality of images, each of the plurality of images having associated camera settings; and determining an inertial profile for the plurality of images based on acceleration data of the image capture device and an imaging entity at pre-determined length of time before and after capture of the each of the plurality of images. The method further comprises forming image groups from the received plurality of images based on the determined inertial profile, and the associated camera settings.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Dixon De Sheng Deng, Julie Rae Kowald, Nicholas Grant Fulton, Oscar Alejandro De Lellis

Patent number: 9990666Abstract: A method of delivering a recommendation is disclosed. A preference rating is received for each of a plurality of electronic devices based on a task to be recommended, each of the preference ratings defining a preference to perform the recommended task on a corresponding one of the electronic devices. A timeliness profile associated with the recommendation is received. The timeliness profile defines relevance of delivering the recommendation over a period of time. One of the electronic devices on which to deliver the recommendation at a particular point in time is selected based on a function of the preference rating of the selected electronic device and the timeliness profile associated with the recommendation at that point in time.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: IJ Eric Wang, Sammy Chan, Mark Ronald Tainsh, Nicholas Grant Fulton
