... here is some more info on the new technologies in the Icon camera: - GPAS (global positioning and aiming system); the camera includes a GPS receiver and an array of magnetic and gravitational field sensors that allow for the exact determination of the camera's position and aiming at the moment you're taking the shot. This data is then recorded with each image using the:
- AWS (advanced watermarking system). This technology allows for embedding of various important information in the image itself. Such information is also including, but is not limited to, time and date of image creation, camera's serial number, owner's name and global ID, etc. This has numerous advantages over the traditional approaches - all this data can be retrieved at any stage of the image life - even from prints or any derivative work from the original image. - Bluetooth interface. The Icon designers addressed the occasional need to use the camera for extended periods, without direct computer access for image upload. Since carrying large amounts of flash memory is not always an option, the images may be uploaded to your computer through a mobile phone device, directly or by using the Icon Data Center as a relay or intermediate storage (and an one year subscription to the IDC is included with your initial camera purchase). The DUM and AUU functions (described in a previous post) are also benefiting from this technology. - IADPS (illegal activities detection and prevention system). Working closely with the DUM subsystem, it allows the detection of illegal use of the camera. All images are checked through the Icon Data Center's IADPS system that will detect illegal images such as pr0n, images of restricted military and civil facilities, watermarked secret documents, still images captured from HDTV screens displaying copyrighted movies, etc. The IADPS system works together with the GPAS one, in order to determine local legislation that applies. Terrorists trying to use the Icon camera will instantly be discovered, and their exact position and activity reported to the local and international authorities. - MWPD (most wanted persons detection). This technology checks all the persons present in the images against the "most wanted" lists of the national and international authorities. If such person is detected, the Icon Data Center will promptly alert the authorities, providing them with the sighting data. but the most revolutionary technology is ---start DUM293472919784326462827468923899274657 NNHKLJHL:M :KLJHKJGHJGLHKLJ:LKJLJKHKHIKHKLJLKJKKLJKL KLJLJUOYFTYFKJHKLJ:LK:LK:LKJIOJHIUHGIGHLOLKKPOJOJOKJ TFRTYDKJKLKJ:LKLKLPOU(U*GHGJHLKOKJHIUGPKOKOKOIJIJIJI %RYFGKIHKLJIOU*(Y*&T&^UGHKJIJ(UYGHJIOJIOJU*(U*((*Y(J JGHJHFGYJHFGIUTY&*T*)KLJHKJGJHFGGHFIUIOJUJOUIGGUUOU8 ---end DUM293472919784326462827468923899274657 /*In order to view the above information, you need a proper activation code, available through the Icon Data Center*/ Oh, BTW, the first camera to be launched from this series is the Icon 1984 model. We're working now on similar technologies for video cameras, DVD recorders, etc. THE DIGITAL FUTURE IS SO BRIGHT ! How can you guys stick to those ancient, obsolete, ANALOG devices ? We need to educate you. They'll be declared illegal. cheers, the caveman
