  • Patent number: 9204028
    Abstract: A captured image display device includes: a wireless communication unit; an imaging unit; a display unit; an imaging instruction unit which issues an imaging instruction to a remote camera that wirelessly communicates with the wireless communication unit; an image processing unit which performs image processing to convert an image data captured by the imaging unit into an image displayed on the display unit, and when the wireless communication unit wirelessly receives an image data corresponding to an image which is captured by the remote camera based on the imaging instruction, performs image processing to convert the image data into the image displayed on the display unit; and a display control unit which causes an image corresponding to the image data to be displayed on the display unit until the image processing unit ends the image processing for the image data after the imaging instruction is issued.

  • Publication number: 20140313356
    Abstract: An imaging instruction terminal includes: a communication module configured to communicate with an imaging device; a motion detection section configured to detect motion information about motion of the imaging instruction terminal; a command generation section configured to generate an instruction command related to imaging for the imaging device at a timing at which the motion information detected by the motion detection section has exceeded a predetermined threshold value; and a communication control section configured to cause the instruction command related to the imaging to be transmitted from the communication module to the imaging device when the command generation section has generated the instruction command related to the imaging.

  • Publication number: 20140313353
    Abstract: An imaging operation terminal includes: a storage section which stores software identification information for identifying imaging and editing software which performs at least one of an operation relating to imaging of an imaging module mounting an optical module and to editing of an image imaged by the imaging module in association with each combination of imaging module identification information for identifying imaging module and optical module identification information for identifying optical module; a communicating section which wirelessly receives the imaging module identification information for identifying the imaging module and the optical module identification information for identifying the optical module mounted to the imaging module from the imaging module when establishing wireless connection with the imaging module; and a software extracting section which extracts the software identification information corresponding to the combination of imaging module identification information and optical m

  • Publication number: 20140253742
    Abstract: An imaging operation terminal may include: a storage section configured to store switching information of an operation mode which operates according to a state of physical contact with an imaging device; a communication section configured to perform wireless communication with the imaging device; a communication detection section configured to detect whether the wireless communication by the communication section with the imaging device is possible; a physical state detection section configured to detect the state of the physical contact with the imaging device; and an operation mode selection section configured to select one operation mode based on the switching information according to the state of the physical contact with the imaging device detected by the physical state detection section after the communication detection section has detected that the wireless communication with the imaging device is possible.
