![]() “Some digital video cameras include a built-in flash that is automatically triggered in low-light conditions. Digital video cameras (e.g., ‘WebCams’) can be integrated with personal computers and displays to enable users to videoconference from a variety of locations (e.g., home, office, hotels, subway trains, etc.) Unfortunately, each location has its own unique lighting conditions, which may not be ideal for capturing quality digital images. This growth is based in part on affordable digital video cameras. Here’s Apple’s background and summary of the invention: “Videoconferencing is one of the fastest growing segments of the computer industry. The captured images are seamlessly integrated with existing applications (e.g., video conferencing, instant text messaging, etc.). ![]() Users are provided with feedback (e.g., live video feed, audio and/or visual countdowns, etc.) to assist them in preparing for image capture. Various characteristics of the flash (e.g., brightness, color, duration, etc.) can be adjusted to improve image capture. ![]() Per the patent, a digital image capture system and method uses a display device to illuminate a target with light for improved image capture under poor lighting conditions. An Apple patent (number 20120249855) for image capture using the display device as a light source has appeared at the U.S.
