Abstract

Claims (42)

1 . A computing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a plurality of autobracketing configurations, each of the plurality of autobracketing configuration, associated with sensor data from a plurality of camera devices;

receiving, via a wireless communication, sensor data from a device, the sensor data comprising data from sensors other than an image sensor;

selecting, based on comparing the sensor data with the plurality of autobracketing configurations, an autobracketing configuration, wherein each of the plurality of autobracketing configurations comprises a camera configuration, the camera configuration comprising a plurality of camera settings; and

transmitting, via the wireless communication, to the device, the selected autobracketing configuration, the selected autobracketing configuration to configure the device to determine a plurality of camera settings for the device to use to capture an image.

2 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the device is a camera or a wearable camera device.

3 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a current context of the device; and

selecting the autobracketing configuration further based on the current context of the device.

4 . The computing device of claim 3 , wherein the current context of the device comprises a time of day and a location of the device.

5 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an anticipated context of the device; and

selecting the autobracketing configuration further based on the anticipated context of the device.

6 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of camera settings comprise an International Standards Organization (ISO) setting and an exposure level setting.

7 . The computing device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of camera settings further comprise one or more settings of:

9 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a server computer or mobile device.

10 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the selecting is based on sensor data from sensors other than the image sensor.

11 . A method comprising:

receiving a plurality of autobracketing configurations, each of the plurality of autobracketing configuration, associated with sensor data from a plurality of camera devices;

receiving, via a wireless communication, sensor data from a device, the sensor data comprising data from sensors other than an image sensor;

selecting, based on comparing the sensor data with the plurality of autobracketing configurations, an autobracketing configuration, wherein each of the plurality of autobracketing configurations comprises a camera configuration, the camera configuration comprising a plurality of camera settings; and

transmitting, via the wireless communication, to the device, the selected autobracketing configuration, the selected autobracketing configuration to configure the device to determine a plurality of camera settings for the device to use to capture an image.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the device is a camera or a wearable camera device.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprise:

receiving the plurality of autobracketing configurations each associated with sensor data from a plurality of camera devices.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprise:

receiving a current context of the device; and

selecting the autobracketing configuration further based on the current context of the device.
