Abstract

A system for controlling a camera resource in a resource-limited portable device. A method is provided for operating a camera system to allow an application to control a camera resource in a portable device. The method includes activating the camera system, wherein the camera system is operable to control the camera resource, providing an application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application, receiving an instruction from the application via the API, wherein the instruction identifies a camera function to be performed, and performing the camera function identified by the instruction.

Claims

22AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 21 December 2006 (21.12.2006)
1. A method for operating a camera system to allow an application to control a camera resource in a portable device, the method comprising: activating the camera system, wherein the camera system is operable to control the camera resource; providing an application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; receiving an instruction from the application via the API, wherein the instruction identifies a camera function to be performed; controlling a module based on the instruction; and performing the camera function identified by the instruction.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of activating comprises interfacing the camera system with one or more native modules that interface with the camera resource.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a media data structure to store data obtained from the camera resource.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of performing the camera function comprises: providing a state machine that identifies functions associated with the camera resource; and navigating the state machine based on the instruction to perform the camera function.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the portable device comprises a second camera resource, and the method comprises: activating a second camera system, wherein the second camera system is operable to control the second camera resource; providing a second application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; receiving a second instruction from the application via the second API, wherein the second instruction identifies a camera function to be performed by the second camera resource; and performing the camera function identified by the second instruction.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the portable device is a wireless device.
7. Apparatus for operating a camera system to allow an application to control a camera resource in a portable device, the apparatus comprising: means for activating the camera system, wherein the camera system is operable to control the camera resource; means for providing an application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; means for receiving an instruction from the application via the API, wherein the instruction identifies a camera function to be performed; means for controlling a module based on the instruction; and means for performing the camera function identified by the instruction.
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the means for activating comprises means for interfacing the camera system with one or more native modules that interface with the camera resource.
9. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising means for generating a media data structure to store data obtained from the camera resource.
10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the means for performing the camera function comprises: means for providing a state machine that identifies functions associated with the camera resource; and means for navigating the state machine based on the instruction to perform the camera function. 24
11. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the portable device comprises a second camera resource, and the apparatus comprises: means for activating a second camera system, wherein the second camera system is operable to control the second camera resource; means for providing a second application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; means for receiving a second instruction from the application via the second API, wherein the second instruction identifies a camera function to be performed by the second camera resource; and means for performing the camera function identified by the second instruction.
12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the portable device is a wireless device.
13. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor in a portable device, operate to provide a camera system mat allows an application to control a camera resource in the portable device, the computer-readable media comprising: instructions for activating the camera system, wherein the camera system is operable to control the camera resource; instructions for providing an* application program interface (API) to receive API instructions from the application; instructions for receiving an API instruction from the application via the API, wherein the API instruction identifies a camera function to be performed; instructions for controlling a module based on the instruction; and instructions for performing the camera function identified by the API instruction.
14. The computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the instructions for activating comprise instructions for interfacing the camera system with one or more native modules that interface with the camera resource.
15. The computer-readable media of claim 13, further comprising instructions for generating a media data structure to store data obtained from the camera resource. 25
16. The computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the instructions for performing comprise: instructions for providing a state machine that identifies functions associated with the camera resource; and instructions for navigating the state machine based on the API instruction to perform the camera function.
17. The computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the portable device comprises a second camera resource, and the computer-readable media comprises: instructions for activating a second camera system, wherein the second camera system is operable to control the second camera resource; instructions for providing a second application program interface (API) to receive API instructions from the application; instructions for receiving a second API instruction from the application via the second API3 wherein the second API instruction identifies a camera function to be performed by the second camera resource; and instructions for performing the camera function identified by the second API instruction.
18. The computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the portable device is a wireless device.
19. Apparatus for operating a camera system to allow an application to control a camera resource in a portable device, the apparatus comprising: logic for activating the camera system, wherein the camera system is operable to control the camera resource; logic for providing an application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; logic for receiving an instruction from the application via the API, wherein the instruction identifies a camera function to be performed; logic for controlling a module based on the instruction; and logic for performing the camera function identified by the instruction. 26
20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the logic for activating comprises logic for interfacing the camera system with one or more native modules that interface with the camera resource.
21. The apparatus of claim 19, further comprising logic for generating a media data structure to store data obtained from the camera resource.
22. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the logic for performing the camera function comprises: logic for providing a state machine that identifies functions associated with the camera resource; and logic for navigating the state machine based on the instruction to perform the camera function.
23. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the portable device comprises a second camera resource, and the apparatus comprises: logic for activating a second camera system, wherein the second camera system is operable to control the second camera resource; logic for providing a second application program interface (API) to receive instructions from the application; logic for receiving a second instruction from the application via the second API, wherein the second instruction identifies a camera function to be performed by the second camera resource; and logic for performing the camera function identified by the second instruction.
