This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184422 titled 'Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Navigating, Displaying, and Editing Media Items with Multiple Display Modes
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display and touch-sensitive surface that allows users to edit and select representative images from a sequence of images.
- The device displays a media item with a representative image.
- Upon detecting a first input, an editing user interface is displayed with two areas: one showing images in the sequence at a first magnification, and the other showing representations of the images at a second, smaller magnification with a user-adjustable representative-image-selection affordance.
- Users can select a new representative image by moving the user-adjustable affordance in the second area.
- The device then displays the selected image in the first area based on the affordance's position in the second area.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in photo editing software, video editing tools, and multimedia creation platforms.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the process of selecting and editing representative images from a sequence, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved user experience, faster editing workflows, and enhanced visual representation of media items.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into photo editing apps, video production software, and digital content creation tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be similar features found in photo editing software or video editing applications that allow users to select and edit representative images from a sequence.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a representation of a media item that corresponds to a sequence of images including a representative image. in response to detecting a first input, the device displays an editing user interface that concurrently displays: a first area sequentially displaying images in the sequence of images at a first magnification; and a distinct second area including representations of the images at a second magnification less than the first magnification, and a user-adjustable representative-image-selection affordance for selecting a new representative image. the device detects a second input moving the user-adjustable representative-image-selection affordance in the second area. the device displays in the first area an image corresponding to the user-adjustable representative-image-selection affordance current position in the second area.
