I just read the patent and as I thought it says this:

"21. An image capture device arranged to be responsive to an inhibit signal
adapted to be transmitted from an object....."

So it is saying that *EVERY* camera would need to have hps *incredible*
technology for the idea to work.

There's a lesson to be learned here.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
