PRESENTING AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS FOR A CAPTURED IMAGE WITHIN A MESSAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625898 titled 'PRESENTING AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS FOR A CAPTURED IMAGE WITHIN A MESSAGING SYSTEM

The present disclosure involves a system with a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting available functions for a captured image.

  • Selecting a subset of functions from a set of functions for applying to an image captured by a device camera.
  • Displaying a first interface with a group of icons, each user-selectable to perform a function within the subset, and an additional icon to switch to a second interface.
  • Switching to display the second interface in response to user selection of the additional icon, presenting the set of functions as a list of entries, each user-selectable to perform a respective function within the set.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in photo editing applications to streamline the process of selecting and applying functions to images. - It can enhance user experience in camera apps by providing a user-friendly interface for choosing editing options.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of selecting and applying functions to images captured by a device camera. - Improves user interaction by offering a clear and intuitive interface for editing images.

Benefits: - Enhances user experience by providing a user-friendly interface for selecting and applying functions to images. - Streamlines the editing process by presenting a subset of functions initially and allowing users to easily switch to the full set if needed.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized in mobile camera applications, photo editing software, and social media platforms to improve user engagement and satisfaction.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience in photo editing applications? 2. What are the potential market implications of implementing this system in camera apps?


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting available functions for a captured image. The program and method provide for selecting a subset of functions from among a set of functions for applying to an image captured by a device camera; causing display of a first interface for presenting the subset of functions, the first interface including a group of icons, each of which is user-selectable to perform a respective function within the subset, the first interface further including an additional icon selectable to switch to a second interface; and causing, in response to user selection of the additional icon, to switch to display of the second interface for presenting the set of functions, the second interface including a list of entries, each of which is user-selectable to perform a respective function within the set of functions.
