Problems solved by technology

However, as with current implementations of image capture devices (e.g., cameras), there are significant drawbacks: the user may take a photo, only to later look back and find that he missed the perfect shot; Shooting video might be preferable, but it's too late; and the ability to manipulate the captured subject for a better angle would be appreciated

[0046] At ⑤, before, during or after the review process, the user can select the type of formatted content to view the captured content (instance) in that type.

[0047] image 3 Flowchart 300 shows a generic capture of user interaction using multiple formats. At 302, the user interacts with the interactive control (point 206) via touch. At 304, if the user continues to touch point 206, a timer appears so that the user can see the duration of the capture mode. At 306, once the user terminates the touch action on point 206, a save signal is detected and a media format block 308 may appear in the user interface so that the user may select one of many formats to view the captured content. Here, the user selects an interactive 3D format for viewing.

[0048] Figure 4 An exemplary user interface 400 is shown that supports review of captured and saved content. In this example embodiment, a slider control 402 is presented for user interaction corresponding to captured and saved...

Abstract

Architecture that enables the automatic capture and save images of objects and scenes in multiple media formats such as images, videos, and 3D (three-dimension). The user can shoot now and decide the medium later. Thereafter, the user can choose which format to review and perform editing, if desired. Moreover, once the user interacts to cause the imaging system to activate (a capture signal), the architecture continually captures images of the object or scene until the user sends a save signal to terminate further capture. Thus, where there may have been a bad shot taken, the user can peruse the set of images for a preferred shot, rather than being left with no good shot at all. The architecture enables the capture of images for a predetermined time before the user activates the capture signal (a pre capture mode) as well as after the user activates the save signal (a post-save mode).

Description

Background technique [0001] Image capture subsystems are present in nearly every portable, handheld computing device and are now considered by users to be an important source of entertainment. However, as with current implementations of image capture devices (e.g., cameras), there are significant drawbacks: the user may take a photo, only to later look back and find that he missed the perfect shot; Shooting video might be preferable, but it's too late; and the ability to manipulate the captured subject to get a better angle would be appreciated. This is a very competitive field as consumers are looking for more sophisticated options for enhanced media experiences. Contents of the invention [0002] The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some of the novel embodiments described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview and it does not attempt to identify key / important elements or delineate the scope thereof. Its sole...
