USER INTERFACES FOR CONTROLLING MEDIA CAPTURE SETTINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240373122 titled 'USER INTERFACES FOR CONTROLLING MEDIA CAPTURE SETTINGS

The abstract describes user interfaces for controlling media capture settings, including depth information, multiple input types, zoom settings, and storage options.

• User interfaces for controlling media capture settings with depth information
• User interfaces for controlling media capture settings with multiple input types
• User interfaces for controlling zoom settings for media capture
• User interfaces for capturing and viewing media using internal and external storage
• User interfaces for controlling an indicator for level capture guidance

Potential Applications: - Photography and videography equipment - Mobile devices with camera capabilities - Augmented reality and virtual reality applications

Problems Solved: - Simplifying the control of media capture settings - Enhancing user experience in capturing media - Improving the quality of captured media with advanced settings

Benefits: - Enhanced control over media capture settings - Improved user experience in capturing media - Ability to apply advanced effects and settings to media capture

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Media Capture Control Interfaces for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be used in smartphones, digital cameras, and other devices with camera capabilities to provide users with more control over their media capture settings. This can lead to improved quality of captured media and enhanced user experience, making these devices more appealing to consumers.

Questions about Media Capture Control Interfaces: 1. How do these user interfaces improve the quality of captured media?

  - These interfaces allow users to apply advanced settings and effects, such as depth-of-field effects, to enhance the visual appeal of their captured media.

2. What are the potential applications of these user interfaces beyond photography and videography?

  - These interfaces can also be used in augmented reality and virtual reality applications to control media capture settings for immersive experiences.

Original Abstract Submitted

user interfaces for controlling media capture settings are described, including user interfaces for controlling capture of media with associated depth information (e.g., for applying simulated depth-of-field effects), controlling media capture settings with multiple input types, controlling zoom settings for media capture (e.g., conditionally displaying a secondary preview at a different zoom level), capturing and viewing media using internal and external media storage, and controlling an indicator for level capture guidance.
