An electronic headset comprising connectivity functionality, the connectivity functionality arranged to allow the headset to be operatively coupled to a remote associated electronic device for the transmission of signalling between the headset and the device, the headset further comprising camera functionality arranged to capture one or more images, and wherein the camera functionality is arranged to be controlled by control signalling transmitted via the connectivity functionality, the control signalling being processed by the remote associated electronic device and being sent to the electronic headset to control the camera functionality.

Improvements in or relating to electronic headset devices and associated electronic devices

The present invention is directed towards remotely controlling an image captioning device (16) from a portable communication device (10). MMI data (SC1, VS) is sent from the image captioning device to the portable communication device and includes at leas one set of screen data (SC1) related to a screen intended for presentation in the portable communication device. The set comprises selectable commands related to the screen, format information specifying the format in which the commands are to be transferred, and possibly a pointer to a further screen. The MMI data for one screen includes media data (VS). If an image captioning command associated with a screen is selected and sent from the portable communication device to the image captioning device an image (I) captured by the captioning device is returned.

Remote control of an image captioning device

The present invention is directed towards a modular portable image captioning device comprising an image captioning control actuator (38), a first module (22) including a lens (26) and a digital image receiving unit (40), a second module (10) including a display (14) for showing non-captured digital images and a variable distance connection unit (32). The first module is separate from and directly connectable to the second module via the variable distance connection unit (32) and arranged to transfer non-captured digital images to the display for letting a user select a view via the display for which a finalised digital image can be captured and stored using the image captioning control actuator. With the invention images that are obscured can still be captured.
