Patent number: 10482359Abstract: The present disclosure provides image capture devices and associated methods of operation that enable the interactive editing of imagery, including, for example, removal and/or addition of non-stationary objects from and/or to captured imagery. According to one example aspect of the present disclosure, an image capture device can capture a plurality of frames of imagery that depict a scene and, while capturing the plurality of frames of imagery, provide a composite image within a viewfinder of the image capture device, where non-stationary objects included in the scene are removed from the composite image. According to another example aspect of the present disclosure, the image capture device can allow a user to edit a final composite image directly within the viewfinder. Thus, the present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable enhanced capture and interactive editing of imagery.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alejandro Kauffmann, Ashley Ma, William Lindmeier, Andrew Dahley, Mark Ferdinand Bowers

Patent number: 10452920Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that generate a summary storyboard from a plurality of image frames. An example computer-implemented method can include inputting a plurality of image frames into a machine-learned model and receiving as an output of the machine-learned model, object data that describes the respective locations of a plurality of objects recognized in the plurality of image frames. The method can include generating a plurality of image crops that respectively include the plurality of objects and arranging two or more of the plurality of image crops to generate a storyboard.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alejandro Kauffmann, Andrew Dahley, Phuong Le, Mark Ferdinand Bowers, Ignacio Garcia-Dorado, Robin Debreuil, William Lindmeier, Brian Foster Allen, Ashley Ma, Pascal Tom Getreuer

Patent number: 10438632Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that generate a scrubbing video that depicts a scrubbing operation performed on a first video. In particular, a user can directly manipulate video playback of the first video (e.g., by interacting with a touch-sensitive display screen) and the scrubbing video can depict such manipulation. As one example, the user can “scratch” his or her videos like a disc jockey (DJ) scratches records to produce scrubbing videos that are remixes (e.g., looping remixes) of his or her original videos. Thus, the systems and methods of the present disclosure enable a user to capture and edit a new type of video that allows the user to directly manipulate its timeline, producing fun and creative results.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alejandro Kauffmann, Andrew Dahley, Mark Ferdinand Bowers, William Lindmeier, Ashley Ma

Patent number: 9294583Abstract: Implementations generally relate to updating events in a social network system. In some implementations a method includes generating one or more event objects having an event information section associated with a first user. The method also includes sending a post from the first user to one or more target users in a social network system, updating the one or more event objects based on the event information section, and causing the one or more updated event objects to be displayed along with the post to the one or more target users in the social network system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Doug Sherrets, Benjamin David Eidelson, Anish Acharya, Andrew Dahley, Raymond Win

Patent number: 8736547Abstract: A method and system for interfacing a digital device with an interactive display surface (IDS) is presented. The IDS detects the digital device when it is brought into proximity, and attempts to identify the device. The IDS communicates with the device, and displays interactive representations of information stored on the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Patrick M. Goddi, Nelson Liang An Chang, I-Jong Lin, Joshua Tyler, Andrew Dahley

Publication number: 20050132408Abstract: A system is disclosed for controlling multiple input devices, such as VCRs, DVD players and videoconferencing equipment, and at least one output device, such as a projector and a monitor, in a video presentation system. The system includes a processor connected to a user control interface, the multiple input devices and the at least one output device. The user interface is a unified control system for the input and out put devices. A user can select through the user control interface one of the input devices. The processor can determine and control an operating state of the input device, and control the operating state of the at least one output device. The processor can also control the connection of the input device to the output device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Inventors: Andrew Dahley, Victor Su, Scott Snibbe, Thomas Niergarth, Paul Yarin, Irving Scher
