Patent number: 9756260Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for simulating different types of camera lens on a device by guiding a user through a set of images to be captured in connection with one or more desired lens effects. In one aspect, a wide-angle lens may be simulated by taking a plurality of images that have been taken at a particular location over a set of camera orientations that are determined based on the selection of the wide-angle lens. The mobile device may provide prompts to the user indicating the camera orientations for which images should be captured in order to generate the simulated camera lens effect.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott Ettinger, David Lee, Evan Rapoport, Jacob Mintz, Bryan Feldman, Mikkel Crone Köser, Daniel Joseph Filip

Patent number: 9699488Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for smart snap to interesting points in media content. A position control input may be received from a user to a control interface for a content player being used with a content item. A smart snap point and an associated smart snap area t may be determined for the content item based on the received position control input. The smart snap point and the associated smart snap area may be stored. A second position control input to the control interface for the content player being used with the content item may be received. The position control input may be determined to move a position indicator into the associated smart snap area for the smart snap point.

Publication number: 20170099437Abstract: The disclosed technology includes switching between a normal or standard-lens UI and a panoramic or wide-angle photography UI responsive to a zoom gesture. In one implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-out” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a minimum zoom state, may trigger a switch from a standard lens photo capture UI to a wide-angle photography UI. In another implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-in” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a nominal wide-angle state, may trigger a switch from a wide-angle photography UI to a standard lens photo capture UI.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2016Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Nirav Bipinchandra Mehta, Mikkel Crone Köser, David Singleton, Robert William Hamilton, Henry John Holland, Tony Ferreira, Thomas Weedon Hume

Patent number: 9589321Abstract: Techniques for animating a view of a composite image based on metadata related to the capture of the underlying source images. According to certain implementations, the metadata may include timing or sensor data collected or generated during capture of the component source images. For example, the timing data may indicate an order or sequence in which the source images were captured. Accordingly, the corresponding regions of the composite panoramic image may be panned to in sequence, for example, using the Ken Burns Effect. In another example, sensor data from gyroscopes or accelerometers may be used to simulate the movement of the image capture device used to generate the source images. In another implementation, the source images may be associated with varying focal lengths or zoom levels. Accordingly, certain implementations may vary a level zoom, based on the metadata, while panning between source photos.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Thomas Weedon Hume, Mikkel Crone Köser

Patent number: 9304659Abstract: A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user. The user interface can be arranged to activate from a user's “home page” on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact group centric experience. A user selects the preferred contact group from among an array of the user's contacts. Once the contact group is configured, a minimal number of navigation/selection features is necessary to activate any number of communication modes available to the contacts. The contact group is configured such that simple and quick navigation between the contact members is achieved. The contact group can be presented in 2D and 3D arrangements, in any number of list or geometric configurations. A pricing plan can optionally be tied to each member of the contact group.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Sherrard, Warren McNeel, Jasdeep Singh Chugh, Stephen John O'Connor, Mikkel Crone Koser, Richard Paul Turnnidge, Michael Thomas Hendrick, Gary Sentman, Karl Warfel, Wen-Hsing Chang, Sally Abolrous, Adrian Buzescu
