Filed:

Nov 8, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/614443

Inventors:

Kevin James King - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G03B 17/00

US Classification:

396 56

Abstract:

Methods and systems to set an amount of light to be emitted by a remote flash device may comprise: a first radio communication device coupled to a camera, a means for a user to set a desired light emission intensity or power emission level which may be perceptible to a first radio communication device, and at least a second radio communication device coupled to a remote flash device. The first radio communication device may transmit at least one radio signal to the second radio communication device which may comprise a power emission level. The at least second radio communication device may send any sequence of data or control signals to a remote flash device which may be representative of the desired light emission intensity or power emission level. The at least second radio communication device may send activation signals to the coupled flash device, followed by allowing a delay interval to elapse, followed by sending quench signals to the coupled flash device.

Appl. No.:

12/636735

Inventors:

Kevin James King - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G03B 17/00

US Classification:

396 56, 396171

Abstract:

Methods and systems to relay short duration coded pulses of light emitted by a first flash device to a second flash device, which may be remote, using radio signals, wherein radio signals comprise data representative of short duration coded pulses of light from the first flash device which may comprise one or more binary commands and/or activation signals emitted by the first flash device. A first radio communication device may sense coded pulses of light from a first flash device and in response transmit radio signals representative of the coded pulses of light, and may subsequently stop transmitting radio signals following the transmission of radio signals representative of the coded pulses of light. A second radio communication device may receive the transmitted radio signals from the first radio communication device and may cause a light element comprised of the second radio communication device to emit coded pulses of light to a second flash device wherein the coded pulses of light to the second flash device may be substantially representative of the coded pulses of light emitted by the first flash device.

Appl. No.:

12/949748

Inventors:

Kevin James King - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/01

US Classification:

710 72, 710 2

Abstract:

A device system and method is disclosed. The device includes a first USB port configured to couple with a USB port on a camera, and circuitry configured to send USB signals to the camera and/or to receive USB signals from the camera, and to operate in USB Host mode, and/or USB OTG (on the go) mode, as the camera operates in Device mode. The device may also include a second USB port configured to couple with a PDA. The circuitry may be further configured to send USB signals to the PDA and/or to receive USB signals from the PDA, and to operate in USB Host mode, and/or USB OTG mode, as the PDA operates in Device mode.

Matthew M Kachevas - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G03B 17/00

US Classification:

396 56

Abstract:

A control system for use with preconfigured photographic equipment that includes a controllable photographic device controlled by a controlling photographic device is disclosed. The controllable photographic device has a housing, and a device circuit having an upstream portion and a downstream portion coupled by control lines within the housing. An internal module may be located within the housing and includes a signal detecting arrangement configured to be coupled with the control lines between the upstream and downstream portions. The system may also include an external module configured to be located outside of the housing, and coupled with the internal module. The external module may include a signal receiving device capable of receiving a wireless control signal from the controlling photographic device, and to cause a module generated signal to be sent by the internal module to the downstream portion upon receipt of the wireless control signal.

Appl. No.:

13/204202

Inventors:

Kevin James King - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G03B 15/03

US Classification:

396 56, 396157, 396164, 396182, 396201

Abstract:

Methods for providing a flash management feature (“FMF”) in a camera system include obtaining a flash intensity value calculated for a flash device by a camera, saving the calculated flash intensity value in memory, accepting a user-provided adjustment of the calculated value, saving the adjusted flash intensity value in a memory, and providing, when the camera transmits the calculated value to the flash device for use during image acquisition, the adjusted value to the flash device instead of the calculated value. A communication device to provide a FMF includes a microprocessor configured to obtain a calculated flash intensity value from a camera, a memory, and a user interface configured to display and allow a user to adjust the calculated value. The microprocessor stores the adjusted flash intensity value in memory, and signals the flash device to emit light at the adjusted value during image acquisition by the camera.

Kevin James King - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

G03B 17/00

US Classification:

396 56

Abstract:

Methods and by which photographic equipment having a wireless communication functionality may join a wireless personal area network which may be a mesh network. In various representative embodiments a photographic device may discover the existence of a wireless personal area network and may provide an indication to a node of the personal area network of its existence and thus a coordinator node or node of a personal area network may discover the photographic device. Methods by which specific events which must be substantially synchronized in time may be synchronized by information or data comprised in a superframe of a transmission of a node of a wireless personal area network.
