Image processing system, method, apparatus and device of processing image data

Abstract

A method of processing image data includes displaying, by a control device, images corresponding to captured image data in real time as the captured image data is being transmitted via an image transmission link from an image capturing device that is communicatively connected to the control device; upon detecting a user operation with respect to a first image that is being displayed: generating and sending an image control instruction to the image capturing device, the image control instruction instructing the image capturing device to obtain processed image data according to the user operation; before the processed image data is received from the image capturing device, displaying the first image and controlling to not display newly received captured image data; and upon receiving the processed image data from the image capturing device via the image transmission link, displaying a second image corresponding to the processed image data.

The method of  claim 1 , wherein the image control instruction includes at least one of an image playback instruction, an image movement instruction, an image zooming instruction, an image paging up instruction, an image paging down instruction, or an image deleting instruction. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the image control instruction includes:
 image identification information for instructing the image capturing device to locate image data corresponding to the image control instruction; and   information for instructing the image capturing device to process the located image data to obtain the processed image data.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 upon detecting the user operation, suspending receiving newly captured image data from the image capturing device.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein:
 resuming receiving newly captured image data transmitted from the image capturing device after the second image corresponding to the processed image data is displayed.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving user interface (UI) data from the image capturing device;   parsing the UI data to obtain a parsed UI; and   displaying the parsed UI to receive the user operation on the parsed UI.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the UI data includes:
 data associated with a UI configured in the image capturing device, or   data associated with a UI of an external camera connected with the image capturing device.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the parsed UI includes:
 a display area for displaying at least one of the images corresponding to the captured image data or the second image corresponding to the processed image data.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the parsed UI further includes:
 a plurality of buttons for receiving the user operation directed to the first image currently displayed in the display area, the plurality of buttons including at least one of a paging up button, a paging down button, a zooming in button, a zooming out button, a delete button, a playback button, or an image translating button.   
     
     
         10 . A control device comprising:
 a communication circuit configured to:
 communicate with an image capturing device controlled by the control device, and 
   a processor coupled to the communication circuit and configured to:
 display images corresponding to captured image data in real time as the captured image data is being transmitted via an image transmission link from the image capturing device; and 
 upon detecting a user operation with respect to a first image that is being displayed:
 generate and send an image control instruction to the image capturing device, the image control instruction instructing the image capturing device to obtain processed image data according to the user operation; 
 before the processed image data is received from the image capturing device, display the first image and control to not display newly received captured image data; and 
 upon receiving the processed image data from the image capturing device via the image transmission link, display a second image corresponding to the processed image data. 
 
   
     
     
         11 . The control device of  claim 10 , wherein the image control instruction includes at least one of an image playback instruction, an image movement instruction, an image zooming instruction, an image paging up instruction, an image paging down instruction, or an image deleting instruction. 
     
     
         12 . The control device of  claim 10 , wherein the image control instruction includes:
 image identification information for instructing the image capturing device to locate image data corresponding to the image control instruction; and   information for instructing the image capturing device to process the located image data to obtain the processed image data.   
     
     
         13 . The control device of  claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to upon detecting the user operation, suspend receiving newly captured image data from the image capturing device. 
     
     
         14 . The control device of  claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to resume receiving newly captured image data transmitted from the image capturing device after the second image corresponding to the processed image data is displayed. 
     
     
         15 . The control device of  claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
 receive user interface (UI) data from the image capturing device;   parse the UI data to obtain a parsed UI; and   display the parsed UI to receive the user operation on the parsed UI.   
     
     
         16 . The control device of  claim 15 , wherein the UI data includes:
