Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Computationally implemented methods and systems such as acquiring a request for particular image data that is part of a scene, transmitting the request for the particular image data to an image sensor array that includes more than one image sensor and that is configured to capture the scene that is larger than the requested particular image data, receiving only the particular image data from the image sensor array, and transmitting the received particular image data to at least one requestor. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

[0002] Rights Reservations/No Waiver/No Admissions/Saving Language:

The United States Patent Office (USPTO) has published a notice to the effect that the USPTO's computer programs require that patent applicants reference both a serial number and indicate whether an application is a continuation, continuation-in-part, or divisional of a parent application. Stephen G. Kunin, Benefit of Prior-Filed Application, USPTO Official Gazette March 18, 2003. The USPTO further has provided forms for the Application Data Sheet which allow automatic loading of bibliographic data but which require identification of each application as a continuation, continuation-in-part, or divisional of a parent application. The present Applicant Entity (hereinafter "Applicant") has provided above a specific reference to the application(s) from which priority is being claimed as recited by statute. Applicant understands that the statute is unambiguous in its specific reference language and does not require either a serial number or any characterization, such as "continuation" or "continuation-in-part," for claiming priority to U.S. patent applications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Applicant understands that the USPTO's computer programs have certain data entry requirements, and hence Applicant has provided designation(s) of a relationship between the present application and its parent application(s) as set forth above and in any ADS filed in this application, but expressly points out that such designation(s) are not to be construed in any way as any type of commentary and/or admission as to whether or not the present application contains any new matter in addition to the matter of its parent application(s).

If an Application Data Sheet (ADS) has been filed on the filing date of this application, it is incorporated by reference herein. Any applications claimed on the ADS for priority under 35 U.S.C. §§ 119, 120, 121, or 365(c), and any and all parent, grandparent, great- grandparent, etc. applications of such applications, are also incorporated by reference, including any priority claims made in those applications and any material incorporated by reference, to the extent such subject matter is not inconsistent herewith.

If the listings of applications provided above are inconsistent with the listings provided via an ADS, it is the intent of the Applicant to claim priority to each application that appears in the Priority Applications section of the ADS and to each application that appears in the Priority Applications section of this application.

United States case law is replete with patent applicants losing rights via clerical errors that appeared to have resulted from unintended errors which judges have held have broken the priority chains, and it seems likely that such breaks are a consequence of the nonstatutory rules regarding priority claiming which have been imposed for the

administrative convenience of the PTO. There should be a way for the drafting attorney to craft language to "fail safe" on this point, and that is what is intended herein.

Specifically, Applicant hereby gives public notice that priority is being claimed for the earliest priority that could be achieved under the Statutes through the herein listed applications, and further through any parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. of the herein listed applications. Furthermore, Applicant hereby gives public notice that incorporation by reference is made for the most inclusive subject matter that could be achieved under the Statutes through the herein listed applications, and further through any parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. of the herein listed applications.

[0024] For a more complete understanding of embodiments, reference now is made to the following descriptions taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. The use of the same symbols in different drawings typically indicates similar or identical items, unless context dictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented here.

[0025] Fig. 1, including Figs. 1-A through 1-AN, shows a high-level system diagram of one or more exemplary environments in which transactions and potential transactions may be carried out, according to one or more embodiments. Fig. 1 forms a partially schematic diagram of an environment(s) and/or an implementation(s) of technologies described herein when Figs. 1-A through 1-AN are stitched together in the manner shown in Fig. 1-D, which is reproduced below in table format.

[0026] In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 1.84(h)(2), Fig. 1 shows "a view of a large machine or device in its entirety ... broken into partial views ... extended over several sheets" labeled Fig. 1-A through Fig. 1-AN (Sheets 1-40). The "views on two or more sheets form ,in effect, a single complete view, [and] the views on the several sheets ... [are] so arranged that the complete figure can be assembled" from "partial views drawn on separate sheets ... linked edge to edge. Thus, in Fig. 1, the partial view Figs. 1-A through 1-AN are ordered alphabetically, by increasing in columns from left to right, and increasing in rows top to bottom, as shown in the following table:

Y-Pos. (4,1): Fig. (4,2): Fig. (4,3): Fig. (4,3): Fig. (4,5): Fig. (4,6): (4,7):Fig. (4,8):Fig. (4,8):Fig. (4,10):Fig.

4 1-AE 1-AF 1-AG 1-AH 1-AI Fig. 1-AJ 1-AK 1-AL 1-AM 1-AN able 1. Table showing alignment of enclosed drawings to form partial schematic of one or more environments.

[0027] In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 1.84(h)(2), Fig. 1 is "... a view of a large machine or device in its entirety ... broken into partial views ... extended over several sheets ... [with] no loss in facility of understanding the view." The partial views drawn on the several sheets indicated in the above table are capable of being linked edge to edge, so that no partial view contains parts of another partial view. As here, "where views on two or more sheets form, in effect, a single complete view, the views on the several sheets are so arranged that the complete figure can be assembled without concealing any part of any of the views appearing on the various sheets." 37 C.F.R. § 1.84(h)(2).

[0028] It is noted that one or more of the partial views of the drawings may be blank, or may be absent of substantive elements (e.g., may show only lines, connectors, arrows, and/or the like). These drawings are included in order to assist readers of the application in assembling the single complete view from the partial sheet format required for submission by the USPTO, and, while their inclusion is not required and may be omitted in this or other applications without subtracting from the disclosed matter as a whole, their inclusion is proper, and should be considered and treated as intentional.
