Audio-Based Attention Grabber For Imaging Devices
TLDR
In this paper, a digital imaging device such as a digital camera or a video camera may include the capability to store audio files and these audio files may be generated under user control when the user wishes to take a picture or capture video.Abstract:
A digital imaging device such as a digital camera or a video camera may include the capability to store audio files. These audio files may be generated under user control when the user wishes to take a picture or capture video. The audio files may be played back as attention grabbers to attract the attention of the imaging subjects. After attracting the attention of the subjects by playing back a recorded audio sound, an image may be automatically captured.read more
